For the record, this is what we did about more complicated fandoms last year:

• Songs with female singers and female or ambiguous pronouns are eligible.


• Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. is part of the Marvel Cinematic universe, so is Agent Carter.


• If it has Hugh Jackman and mutants in it, it's X-Men (Movies)


• Everything set in the Doctor Who universe can be nominated under Doctor Who (including Torchwood).


• Tolkien fandoms will be split into The Silmarillion – J.R.R. Tolkein; The Hobbit (All Media Types), and The Lord of the Rings (All Media Types).


• All of the Star Treks separate by series name.


• Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel the Series and assorted spinoffs will go together under "Buffy the Vampire Slayer & Related Fandoms."


• All variations of Sailor Moon will be nominated separately.


• All Pretty Cure series will be nominated together.


• FF X and FF X-2 will be nominated as "Final Fantasy X & Final Fantasy X-2"


• Marvel Comics will be nominated by universe, for example: Marvel 616, Marvel Adventures, etc.


• The Les Mis tag will be "Les Miserables (All Media Types)."

If you're unhappy with any of those combinations/divisions, the mods are willing to negotiate, but the sooner you mention it (either here or in the nomination discussions), the more likely we are to be able to change it.

How do people feel about Daredevil? Do you want it in with MCU, or standing alone?

What's the official stance on the Law & Order franchise--are they all under one umbrella, or is each series its own fandom? As a fan I'd prefer if they were kept separate because otherwise SVU tends to overshadow everything else. A few characters cross over in canon but otherwise each series pretty much kept to itself imo.

Erm, that was me. Didn't realize I was logged out.

I don't think we have an official stance, but then I think only SVU was nominated last year. I'm happy to keep them separate if that's what people in the fandom want.

As someone who could only write in SVU I'd appreciate the separation.

Honestly, you could probably have them together. I don't think there will be so many pairings that both sides couldn't just pick around the other shows. However, it's easy enough to keep them separate.

Actually, you're right, that would likely make more sense. I sort of driveby commented here.
