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!

May/Sif? I didn't know I wanted that until right about...now :-D

Just a quick question for Marvel comics nominating folks - are we using Marvel 616 or Marvel Comics as the tag? Or is that something our glorious leader can fix on the back-end if we all accidentally use different tags?

Mods would prefer Marvel 616, because someone might also request Marvel Adventures, or Ultimates, or 1602, or whatever, which are also comics, but have very different characters.

We can fix that back end, but If you request Marvel Comics: Jan/Ororo, we're not going to know if you really mean MA or 616, and since nominations are anon, we'd have to do a post here to ask.

This works for me! The characterisation differences alone between the different verses would make me want to specify whether I'm requesting 616!Natasha or Ultimates!Natasha in my Natasha/Jess request (it would be 616 always).

Haha, I hear you. I actually really like Ults!Natasha because she's so interesting but it's more of a would write for rarewoman character than a would pair with anyone I like one.
