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!

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?

Honestly, if possible I'd rather it were merged under the "- All Media Types" tag because that would prevent me from having to use up half my requests/offers for different versions of the canon. From what I've seen, the book and 2012 movie fandoms have merged a ton over the last year, plus that would allow for requests for the stage musical as well, and I think it would be easy enough for people to specify in their details if they're looking for fanworks regarding a specific version of the canon. That said, if someone else sees this thread who was thinking of offering or requesting Les Mis and is only comfortable with one canon or another, I'd be okay with them being divided - I could just request bookverse and use up two offers in order to offer both canons - but my personal preference leans towards merging.

Good to know. Last year someone wanted them separate, so I split them, but it's fine as one as long as people are happy with it. The only problem I can see with lumping it together is if someone really want say stage musical canon, and someone offering is really only comfortable writing say the Liam Neeson movie, then unhappiness could result on all sides.
