2014: Nomination Discussions (and other details)  
Nominations begin in a week, which is far, but it does mean we have more time to discuss them. Post what you're thinking about nominating in comments, discuss eligibility, offer up free spaces.

I have a couple of questions for people in the relevant fandoms:
1. Last year, some Tolkien fans indicated that they'd prefer to be split up into Silmarillion - J.R.R. Tolkien, The Hobbit (All Media Types), and The Lord of the Rings (All Media Types). Is that okay?
2. MCU technically includes Agents of SHIELD, do the AoS people want to be included with MCU? Not being included would prevent crossover pairings such as May/Romanov.
3. I'm planning to do comics by universe again, as that seemed to work last year.
4. There's no way that I know of to merge Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel: The Series without including the rest of Jossverse. Sorry. (Unless someone's fixed that since last year?)
5. The Star Trek tv shows can't be nominated as one either, not without including the new movies. Again, sorry, as this does cut down on crossover pairings, which are fun.
6. There is no six!
7. I can't think of a seven, but do let me know how you'd like your fandom nominated, especially things with multiple parts and/or adaptations.

Nominations will open at 5pm Pacific Daylight Time (all events will take place at 5pm PDT).

Last year, some lovely people made banners. Feel free to use them about the place for advertising purposes, should it strike your fancy. Or make more banners and post them here!

Who is nominating Puella Magi Madoka Magica this year? If so, will there be separate categories for Oriko and Kazumi?

I'm thinking of nominating Homura/Hitomi, because I'm intrigued by that one route from the PSP game. :o

Since you're a Les Mis fan: Last year, we divided it into bookverse and 2012 film, would that work for you again this year?

Elleth: LotR: Galadriel - G[personal profile] elleth on August 10th, 2014 08:36 pm (UTC)
Question (I hope this is the right place) - what's your stance on nominating characters whose gender wasn't described, but could be female? In a similar vein, what about characters who aren't mentioned, but aren't OFCs insofar that they must have existed (e.g. a character's wife who isn't named or described any further, or the unmentioned mother of a male character's children)? Would it be okay to nominate them, or rather not?
(Reply) (Thread) (Link)
Muccamukk: Avengers: Lady Hulk[personal profile] muccamukk on August 11th, 2014 12:30 am (UTC)
I don't remember our stance on that last year, but we did allow OFCs, so this seems fine to me.

I have a question! Will it be possible to request and offer pairings for Original Works, or do all fics and art have to be fandom based? Like, if I wanted a Princess/Mermaid pairing could they both be OFCs and in their own universe?

I'm still trying to decide what to do with 3/5 of my fandom nomination slots (I have a shortlist of weird obscure stuff that probably no one else cares about, and I'm trying to figure out which are the shortest of the long shots), but I have three pairing slots open for Ace Attorney and two for Fate/stay night and related fandoms, if anyone would like pairings for those that I haven't nominated yet.
