Nominations Clarifications  
Please double check the list of combined fandoms in the last nominations post before nominating large fandoms and franchises that may be combined! Some things may be approved and moved to the umbrella fandom to make space in the queue, but we will largely avoid approving incorrect tags for now wherever we can so we can wrangle correct nominations faster. 

Particular fandoms we've noticed issues with so far, though others may be buried in the queue: 
  • Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow instead of Arrowverse (CW TV)
  • Black PantherThor, and Agents of SHIELD instead of Marvel Cinematic Universe
  • Wonder Woman instead of DC Cinematic Universe
  • Marvel (Comics) instead of specific Marvel titles
  • Sarah Jane Adventures instead of Doctor Who.
Please update your noms with the correct fandom tag if they are still unapproved and on the combined list!


Fandoms that may require clarification or combination:
  • Pocket Monsters SPECIAL | Pokemon Adventures: is this different to the Pokemon Main Games tag we've seen before, or would a combined tag be better?
  • The Runaways (TV): should this be combined with MCU or Marvel Netflix, or left stand-alone?
  • Disney Descendents: does the live action diverge from the rest of Disney enough to stand-alone, or should it be combined under AMT?
  • DuckTales 2017: again, stand-alone or AMT?
  • Tolkien: we have been discussing changing the fandom tags to split book and movie canon, but most likely to combine in different ways if we make changes, and would love more input from other nominators
  • Sunless Sea, Fallen London: should an umbrella fandom be used?
  • Star Trek: Discovery is to be nominated as part of Star Trek: Classic Timeline (All Series). All Mirror characters should be nominated under Classic.
  • Sailor Moon combinations have been changed slightly. Crystal/Manga is combined, 90s anime and live action are separate. If you wish to nominate another part of Sailor Moon, please drop a comment before nominating so we can discuss the most appropriate split/combination and fandom tag
  • Dangan Rompa. We have a nomination for Super Dangan Ronpa 2, and also All Media Types. Can these nominations be combined or is Super a separate fandom?

Pairings that may require clarification:
  • ASOIAF/Game of Thrones - can the nominator(s) of the following pairings confirm if they were meant to be TV or book requests/check their pairing is still available in the correct fandom? We had some wandering, and we think they were intended as ASOIAF but we want to double check. 
    • Cersei Lannister/Catelyn Stark
    • Cersei Lannister/Sansa Stark
    • Elia Martell/Lyanna Stark
    • Myrcella Baratheon/Sansa Stark
    • Sansa Stark/Margaery Tyrell
  • Ghostbusters (2016): Erin Gilbert/Female Ghost and Jillian Holtzmann/Female Ghost. Do these tags refer to specific female ghosts or original ghosts?
  • Tomb Raider/Crossover: Lara Croft/Diana (Wonder Woman). We are assuming this was meant to be a crossover (please correct us if there's a Diana in canon we aren't aware of that you meant to choose instead), which version of Wonder Woman did the nominator want?
  • Sailor Moon: can the nominator of Chibiusa/Tomoe Hotaru please confirm which fandom they wanted?
  • Crossover: Joan Jett/Kristen Stewart. What are the best RPF fandom groupings to assign to each half of this pairing?
  • Crossover/Xena: Aya | Amunet (Assassin's Creed)/Cleopatra VII of Egypt. This has popped up under Xena, we assume as a crossover intended to include Xena's Cleopatra. Can the nominator please confirm that, or if they meant the historical or another version of Cleopatra?
  • Crossovers: Trixie Belden/Nancy Drew. Did the nominator intend the book Nancy Drew or another version?

There's still a decent sized queue that we are working down, we will keep you updated if you're waiting to see what's already approved before nominating.

Wandering tags

Everything under Fate/Zero is also under Fate/stay night - All Media Types. Fate/Zero is a prequel to Fate/stay night. My guess is that Irisviel von Einzbern/Arturia Pendragon | Saber was intended under Fate/Zero and Arturia Pendragon/Tohsaka Rin | Saber/Tohsaka Rin, Matou Sakura/Arturia Pendragon | Saber, and Matou Sakura/Tohsaka Rin were intended under Fate/stay night.

Under Monster High, Blondie Lockes is an Ever After High character. C. A, Cupid is a character in both and explicitly is mentioned transferring schools.

Other Issues

You have Neon Genesis Evangelion and Rebuild of Evangelion | Evangelion: New Theatrical Edition. Rebuild is an alternate universe movie series that diverges from the timeline of the original anime. It isn't uncommon for people to historically nominate characters and ships for either under regular Neon Genesis Evangelion. But since you have them separate, Makinami Mari Illustrious/Shikinami Asuka Langley makes more sense under Rebuild. Mari only exists in Rebuild and Asuka's last name is Shikinami only in the Rebuild movies.

Re: Tagset stuff
Thank you so much! I've fixed Power Rangers and Neon Genesis.

For Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night, if one is a prequel to the other is that something we should be combining as opposed to fixing wandering tags? Ditto with Ever After and Monster High, if there's canonic character crossover. It sounds like they meet our shared universe rule, but I don't want to make assumptions when I'm not familiar with either. I'll also add both to the next clarification post to make sure any other people familiar with the fandoms can weigh in if necessary.

Re: Tagset stuff
Fate/ is a very complicated question. It involves alternate timelines very heavily. I personally prefer combined and it used to be common in exchanges to combine the canons, but since Fate/Grand Order came out it's been becoming more common to split them up. I like merged because I did nominate for Fate/stay night and my ships contain the original concept of a female lead before she was replaced by a male character (she was later used in Fate/Prototype). I think it is a fandom that would make sense to open it to discussion.

Ever After High and Monster High take place in different worlds and there are only three mentions of them taking place in the same multiverse. Giles Grimm has a cameo in a Monster High movie. C. A. Cupid is explicitly mentioned as transferring between schools. A character in a later Monster High movie speaks to Apple and Raven on the phone for a very short scene. So while you could make an argument for combining them, most of the connections can be easily ignored and the fandom largely treats them as two separate things. If you want to be technical, that's fewer references than Marvel and DC have about taking place in the same multiverse.

Re: Tagset stuff
Great, thank you! I'll leave Fate/ for the upcoming clarification post, but I've moved C. A. Cupid/Blondie Lockes to just Ever After.

Re: Tagset stuff
I nominated Fate/Zero before other stuff showed up in the tagset and tbh, am only interested in a Fate/Zero pairing for this. But I don't think there's any misinterpretation possible by having Irisviel/Saber under the umbrella tag, so I'll defer to whatever the mod wants.

Re: Tagset stuff
Another Fate/ nominator here. I suppose I have no problems with merging! Mostly alternate universe iterations of the same character tend to also have different names, for example Rin and Ishtar are the same character but in different iterations. I don't see any exceptions to this in the current tagset, so it should be safe to combine imo.

(Also I want to point out that the ship I nominated, Irisviel von Einzbern/Hisau Maiya/Arturia Pendragon | Saber, is not currently under the general Fate/ tag, so if you do merge them, please don't lose it! ;A;)

Re: Tagset stuff
Thanks for popping by, it sounds like merging suits people but I'll leave it an open issue until closer to the end of nominations so anyone who disagrees has plenty of time to join the discussion. And I'll make sure to be careful with your relationship tag. With issues like this I make a record of everything under both fandoms before making any changes so we don't have anything go astray in the process, but comments to refer back to and double check against never hurt so thanks for heads up.

Re: Tagset stuff
I have merged them, and I just double checked your tag is in the right spot under Fate/stay night. You're good to go! :)

Re: Tagset stuff
Just a quick heads up that somebody has commented that Rebuilt could be folded under Neon Genesis Evangelion if you had any opinions on the subject beyond what you've already said here.

Re: Tagset stuff
Thanks for the heads up. Not a fandom I feel strongly about in regards to merge vs splitting, just one I wanted to point out the wandering tags if they were kept split.
