Nominations Closed: Clean-Up Time!

[samuraiter]

Thank you for your nominations, everybody. Looks like a fine stack of goodies!

That being said, that means it's clean-up time. You all have done a very good job of giving us feedback and head's-up notices during the nominating process, but there's still quite a lot of material, so, if you'd be so kind, just sneak a peek at the fandom lists and see if there are any duplicate pairings, duplications across fandoms, pairings in the wrong fandom, misspellings, characters inappropriate to the challenge, and those sneaky threesomes that like to get by us. Just let us know if anything wacky comes up, if you have any questions, etc.

While I'm here: I do have a question about one nominated pairing (for Star Trek: AOS) under the cut.

A pairing came through for Gaila/Carol Pike, and I couldn't find a Carol Pike anywhere in Star Trek wikidom, which is pretty impressive. Did you mean Carol Marcus, or is Carol Pike just a really well-hidden character that I missed? I rejected the nomination for now, but any clarification is welcome; I think that's one that can be fixed.

Anyhow, sign-ups open in three days. See you all then!

Looks like you've got a duplicate in Claymore (Anime & Manga): "Clare (Claymore)/Jean (Claymore)" as well as "Jean/Clare".

Thanks!

I've got to object a little to "Kotone Shiomi" in Persona 3; it's not a well-known name for the character and may be confusing to people looking to sign up. I advocate Female Main Character instead.

[muccamukk]

I was following that discussion in the other thread. If she changes names that many times, main female character is probably best. Otherwise, people might be confused and not offer her pairings.

I'll change it back as I have time.

[samuraiter]

Got it. :-) She's "Female Main Character" now, though AO3 has her mostly as Arisato Minako (not canon, granted, but widely used, which is likely why it's the "official" tag there).

[percygranger]

Oh, derp, yes, Carol Marcus. Sorry about that!

[samuraiter]

No worries! (Honestly, I was wondering if there was just a genderswapped Christopher Pike somewhere in the Star Trek multiverse.) It's been added back in with the correct name.

Normally I'd say the book is the book and the show is the show but Arianne Martell/Tyene Sand and Nymeria Sand/Margaery Tyrell are duplicated across both Game of Thrones TV and A Song of Ice and Fire when Arianne, Tyene and Nymeria are characters that have yet to appear in the TV show (and it seems that Arianne may never do so).

[samuraiter]

I've switched things around a bit so that both of those pairings are under the book, rather than the TV show (for now). Hope that helps a bit. :-)

There's a duplicate in Firefly: Inara Serra/Zoe Washburne and Zoë Washburne/Inara Serra.

[samuraiter]

While I'm sure Inara wouldn't mind multiple Zoës, the duplicate has been jettisoned. :-)

[shamanicshaymin]

You got a duplicate in Puella Magi Madoka Magica: Miki Sayaka/Akemi Homura and Akemi Homura/Miki Sayaka.

[samuraiter]

There we go, duplicate obliterated.

[xenoglossy]

There's a misspelled name in Vocaloid: "Yuwane Haku" (in the pairing Megurine Luka/Yuwane Haku) should be "Yowane Haku."

[muccamukk]

Fixed. Thanks for spotting it.

[settiai]

There appears to be a duplicate in Mass Effect: Female Shepard (Mass Effect)/Original Female Character(s) and Female Shepard/Original Female Character.

[muccamukk]

Good catch. I'll sort that out.

[ureshiiichigo]

I found a duplicate under TV Shows -> Supernatural:

Anna Milton/Charlie Bradbury
Charlie Bradbury/Anna Milton

:)

[samuraiter]

*kaboom* There, got it. :-)

I nominated Female Shepard Clone/Female Shepard, but I'm not seeing it in the tagset.

[muccamukk]

I was tidying duplicate Shepards the other day and maybe got the clone then by accident. I'll pop it back in.

[abluestocking]

Under Benjamin January Mysteries - Barbara Hambly, there's a duplicate pairing (with a slight misspelling in one).

The duplicates are Augustus Mayerling/Madeleine Mayerling and Augustus Mayerling/Madeline Mayerling. The correct spelling is Madeleine. I'd probably list her as Madeleine Trepagier Mayerling myself - which would also mirror Rose Vitrac January in other pairings in the fandom - because she was Madeleine Trepagier for the whole book she was a main character in, but that's YMMV.

[samuraiter]

Good catch! I deleted the misspelled pairing.
