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!

I won't be the only person looking for Teen Wolf, yay! :-)

And I'd never really considered America/Kamala, but now I am...

Yeah, I don't usually have a lot of interest in shipping characters who haven't interacted in canon, but I read this fic and now I kind of can't get away from the idea. :)

...I am marking that fic for later, because wow. There is a pairing option I can't unsee. *_____*

(It bugs me that I'm missing one issue of YA, and can't find it anywhere, therefore can't move forward and finish the run. *sadface*)

You can't buy a digital copy? It's not as good as the real thing, but it'd get you by until it hit trade.
