If you haven't already please read the rules before you start nominating. The nomination guidelines are the same as last year, with the exception that we have increased the number of nominations allowed.

  • You may nominate up to ten fandoms with up to ten relationships in each.

  • All nominated characters must be women or gender questioning/queer people you'd be comfortable writing about in a femslash challenge
  • Please nominate crossovers as under the fandom: Crossovers - Fandom, and list the characters with their fandom after the character name (Example: Pepper Potts (MCU)/Seven of Nine (Star Trek: Voyager)

  • [Canonical Character]/Original Female Character is allowed. [Canonical Character]/Any is not allowed

  • [Canonical Character]/[Unnamed Character] is allowed in cases where there most likely was a woman, but we don't know exactly who she was, for example: Galadriel/Legolas' Mother in The Hobbit fandom.

  • There will be one category for Original Work, in which you may nominate things such as Princess/Handmaiden, Mermaid/Ship Captain, or Starship Captain/Chief Engineer.

Re: Wandering Tags
Sounds great, thank you! I'll make a note on the next post that we're using those three fandom tags, and if anyone wants other forms of Sailor Moon they should drop a comment so we can check splits/combos or names make sense before approving them.

I'm also looking at Persona now. Takeba Yukari/Yamagishi Fuuka should be correctly associated and no longer in Persona 4. I'll fix the other two once I know what the name should be edited to (if anything.)

What would be the best way to refer to Arisato? It looks like the canonical is 'Female Persona 3 Protagonist' - is the fan nickname widely used enough that it might be confusing to just swap the canon name in for the nickname? Or I see the canonical has two subtags, Arisato Minako and Shiomi Kotone. Would either canonical | Arisato Minako, or canonical | Arisato Minako | Shiomi Kotone, or canonical | Shiomi Kotone be better? I don't want to complicate the name unnecessarily and make the tag harder to read, but I also don't want people to think their nom is missing or end up continually declining duplicates because there's confusion.

Re: Wandering Tags
My opinion is "Female Persona 3 Protagonist".

The male Persona 3 protagonist is the original version. The manga gave him the name Arisato Minato. When Persona 3 Portable was brought out people dubbed her Arisato Minako because there was nothing else to call her. But since then the play came out and gave the male protagonist the name Sakuya Shiomi and her the name Kotone Shiomi, which is the only canonical name she's ever been given but I don't know how popular it is. Now, the anime and a new video game has given the male protagonist the name Makoto Yuki. Usually whatever name the anime uses is the one that sticks and becomes the permanent, official name.

I like Persona 3 Female Protagonist or canonical | other names because it let's people pick which one they want in their details.

Re: Wandering Tags
Okay, great, thank you so much for all your help as always! That all makes sense so I'll leave them wandering for the moment in case other people want to weigh in with their preferred options, and then I'll swap it for Female Protag or Female Protag | other name(s) when I move/edit it.
