Nominations Are Open

[muccamukk]

Please read the rules before you start nominating.

In short:

• You may nominate up to five fandoms with up to five pairings in each.


• Both parties must be women or gender questioning/queer people you'd be comfortable writing about in a femslash challenge


• Threesomes/Moresomes and crossovers may not be nominated (but they may be listed in optional details when you sign up).


• Canonical Character/Original Female Character is allowed. Canonical Character/Any is not allowed


• Please nominate comics fandoms by universe, both Doctor Who tv series together (with Big Finish, Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures separate), all Middle-Earth fandoms together under Tolkien Works, all of the Star Treks separate by series name.

If you spot any doubles, misfiled fandoms, random pairing popping up under other fandoms or pairings that don't qualify, comment here. I'm going to do my best to wrangle as I go.

Okay, ready to go? More than ready to go?

Click here to nominate some femslash.

Nominations will remain open until 10pm PDT 13 September 2013.

That link goes to the tag set?

[muccamukk]

Should be a button that says "nominate" in the upper right?

[kissoffools]

I'm not sure if this is something to take note of now or during a cleanup before sign-ups, but I just wanted to point out two duplicate pairings in the TV section. Figured that since I spotted 'em, I'd mention them to avoid confusion in sign-ups!

Under Orange Is The New Black, there's "Poussey Washington/Tasha "Taystee" Jefferson" and "Poussey Washington/Taystee Jefferson". They're the same pairing, and the first one is likely more correct, since Taystee isn't the character's real first name. I was the one who nominated the second, so feel free to remove it and just let the first one remain!

Under Teen Wolf (TV), there's "Allison Argent/OFC" and "Allison Argent/Original Female Character(s)" - surely that's the same, and one should probably be removed? :)

[muccamukk]

No, this is a great time to mention these things. If I sort as we go, it'll be less work later.

I'll sort those two out.

[aphrodite_mine]

A few issues:

Missy Pantone is not a character in Bend it Like Beckham. She is a character in Bring it On.
In Orphan Black: Cosima Niehaus/Delphine Cormier and Delphine Cormier/Cosima Niehaus is the same pairing. As is Helena/Sarah Manning and Sarah Manning/Helena.

[aphrodite_mine]

Also, my nom of Mim/Dex for Stumptown is not associated. Since they have zero fic, I think you need to make that association. It's an option in your approval board. :)

[samuraiter]

*tinkers*

There we go! Added a few noms to the pile. :-)

[nenya_kanadka]

I couldn't seem to find any kind of listing for a female Doctor in Doctor Who, though I could swear I've seen fic for female versions of the Doctor before (not genderswapped Nine or whatever, but, like, Twelve is a woman, Thirteen is a woman). So I just put it down as Female Doctor. Please wrangle into better terminology if such a thing exists.

[muccamukk]

I poked around a bit, and ended up going with River Song/Original Female Doctor, as that makes it most clear that it can't just be one of our Doctor's in female version.

[likeadeuce]

Do you know why my Kitty Pryde/Rogue tag is showing up among my nominations but not among the available pairings under 'X-Men movies'? Do I need to change to a movie-specific character tag?

[muccamukk]

Oh dear. That may have gotten accidentally associated with 616 when I was cleaning up the Marvel tags. Do you want it in 616 as well? Or should I just move it over to movies.

[settiai]

There appears to be a duplicate in Video Games > Mass Effect: Female Shepard/Morinth and Morinth/Female Shepard (Mass Effect).

[muccamukk]

Thanks. I'll fix that next round of puttering.

[carmarthen]

I noticed Eponine/Cosette is nominated as the sole pairing in Les Miserables - All Media Types, and while I can argue them as really the only possible f/f pairing for the movie or musical, that's not the case for the book. I was planning to nominate a bunch of minor character pairings for the book--is it better to do so under the All Media Types or Victor Hugo tag?

[muccamukk]

I'll toss Eponine/Cosette into some variation of the musical, and you can tag for book, and it should all work out nicely.

[sirvalkyrie]

Tifa Lockhart/Yuna is appearing under Compilation of Final Fantasy VII when Yuna is a character in Final Fantasy X. I am the one that nominated it, but it was nominated for Dissidia. It looks like it is a case of someone wrangling it to Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. You'll have to delete the tag and then add "Tifa Lockhart/Yuna (Dissidia)" and manually associate it to Dissidia to get it out of Final Fantasy VII.

edit: I didn't notice until now that someone had also nominated Final Fantasy X and Lighting/Yuna is appearing under that. You'll have to do the same thing to get it out of there.

[muccamukk]

Thanks for pointing those out. I'm incapable of telling what goes where in video game fandoms. I'll sort them in a bit.

[muccamukk]

To be clear, what should be in which fandom?


Dissidia Duodecim: Final Fantasy
Lightning/Yuna
Tifa Lockhart/Yuna

Final Fantasy X
Yuna/Valefor
Lulu/Yuna

I don't know what characters are endemic to what games, and it's clearly too late at night for me because I can't tell from your explanation.

[ghostied]

My friend nominated some things, and some of them went into the right fandoms/categories, but some didn't for some reason. Is that something you can sort out? She doesn't have a DW account, so she asked me to let you know.

"Echo/Priya Tsetsang" belongs to Dollhouse
"Jessica Pearson/Rachel Zane" belongs to Suits (TV)
"Santana Lopez/Dani" belongs to Glee
"Santana Lopez/Kitty Wilde" belongs to Glee

Thanks!

[muccamukk]

I know. I know. THEY'RE REFUSING TO ASSOCIATE!

I'll have to go in and re-enter everything. Should be fixed shortly.

[briar_pipe]

Would you like some help with sorting the unsorted fandoms into the right bins, etc.? It looks like you have a bunch of tags on your hands.

Also, the Simoun noms aren't using the existing canonicals. I don't know if that'll become an issue later - probably only if more than one user nominates it.

[muccamukk]

Just point out what goes where, and I can fix it. Thank you.

Though, do you know. The problem above, I deleted everything expecting to have to re-enter and re-associate, because every time I tried to associate them, they said they already had an association, but they did not according to my list. But then they still show up under their fandoms. I don't know what's going on.

Like These were unassociated pairings. But now they are simultaneously showing up matched as they should be, and not showing up AT ALL under the edit system. Not as pairings, and not as associations.
Echo/Priya Tsetsang (Dollhouse)
Fawcett/Caprice (G.B.F)
Fawcett/Soledad (G.B.F)
Jessica Pearson/Rachel Zane (Suits)
Santana Lopez/Dani (Glee)
Santana Lopez/Kitty Wilde (Glee)
Sayoko/Yoshikawa (Rentaneko)

Please tell me about the Simoun tags, so I can sort them out. Also what should go in which Final Fantasy game, if you happen to know that.

[cest_what]

Just a note that "Ariel/Megara" is currently showing up under "Greek and Roman Mythology" as well as "Disney Princesses". (Megara does appear in the Hercules myth, so I assume that's why she's doing double fandom duty, but the pairing is only Disney.)

[muccamukk]

Thanks. I'll fix that.

[likeadeuce]

Looking at the 'X-Men movies' category, I'm not sure how the canonical tag nesting works, but in my experience X-Men First Class is usually treated as a distinct fandom from the other movies. It might not matter for matching since we can request/offer specific pairings but I thought I'd mention it!

[muccamukk]

I decided to include them under movie fandom generally. There's not enough to throw out anyone's request or offers, and it appeals to my sense of order.

[trobadora]

OMG! I don't know who nominated Christabel, but now I may have to sign up. :D

[kissoffools]

Hi mod! Just noticed that "For A Good Time, Call" is in the Uncategorized section - it's a movie from 2012! If that helps. :)

[muccamukk]

Yes. It's new, so it needs someone from the site to tell it where it goes. I haven't gotten around to asking. Probably will after nominations close tomorrow.

[elleth]

There are some funny things going on in the Tolkien tag set:

Indis/Nerdenel - should be Nerdanel, and is already nominated as Nerdanel/Indis.
Indis/Míriel Þerindë | Míriel Serindë - Þerindë vs. Serindë is a contested issue in the fandom, but the tag on A03 is Míriel Serindë, and Indis/Míriel Serindë as the 'official' one is already nominated.

[muccamukk]

Thanks for pointing those out. I'll fix them when I get a minute.
