Nominations clarifications #2  
General reminder to please check the shared fandom list. We will not be approving incorrect franchise fandoms, and you risk your nominations being rejected if they start to block the queue - Star Trek nominators in particular currently need to double check their fandom tags. Update: Kamen Rider, Super Sentai, and Dragon Age fans, please also double check your nominations against the shared fandom list.

Also a reminder that & relationships (ie. gen) are not allowed in this exchange. All pairings should be femslash pairings, with a / to indicate romance. We usually correct gen tags into ships as we go, assuming errors, but we’ve now had a spread of nominations where the same characters are nominated twice - once as gen and once as femslash. Duplicate gen nominations are and will continue to be rejected. If anyone has questions or is confused about this, feel free to drop by our rules post to discuss.



Bishoujo Senshi Sailor Moon | Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon (Anime & Manga)
We have approved these nominations as (Manga/Crystal). If another version was intended, please check the shared fandom list and drop us a comment to discuss. We have also moved all nominations under the umbrella fandom into (Manga/Crystal) as mentioned on the last post. If you have nominated for Sailor Moon, please double check the tagset and let us know if your nominations are in the wrong spot.

Hannibal Lecter Series - All Media Types
We believe the TV and movie series are adaptions of the books, so a shared universe tag may not be appropriate. Could Hannibal fans please drop into the comments to discuss how they’d like these fandoms handled? Update: Hannibal (TV) will be kept separate, but we would still like to hear from book and movie fans.

Law & Order
We have nominations for Law & Order, and Law & Order: SVO. Can the nominator(s) confirm whether these shows share a universe? These shows have been combined, and the shared fandom list updated.

Motherland: Fort Salem
Sarah Alder & Biddies was rejected as gen. If the nominator wanted a poly nomination, please drop us a comment and also confirm which Biddies you wanted included in your ship.

Persona series
We are discussing whether to combine Persona as a shared fandom. If anyone feels strongly either way, please join the thread to discuss.

Star Trek: Lower Decks
Lower Decks looks like it should be included as part of Star Trek Classic canon. If this is incorrect, can Lower Decks fans please drop into the comments to discuss. Please check the shared universe list and alter nominations accordingly, Lower Decks ships should be nominated under Classic.

The Legend of Heroes (Video Games)
We have Trails of Cold Steel and Trails in the Sky nominated. It appears to be an 'interconnected' series of games according to wikis - is this a shared universe, or should it be handled separately like Final Fantasy? Update: The Legend of Heroes: Trails is currently proposed as a shared universe fandom tag. Please drop into the comments to discuss if you would prefer a different shared tag.



Don't forget to read the rules before you start nominating, and let us know if anything looks odd. We are approaching the last 48 hours of nominations (countdown) so make sure to get your fandoms and relationships in on time!

I forgot to check this to see how my nomination was doing, so I might be too late. But I nominated Bedelia Du Maurier/Clarice Starling under Hannibal Lecter Series - All Media Types.

I'm not sure how to handle this, as it's a crossover between the TV show and the books/movies.

Bedelia's in the TV show, Clarice is only in the books/movies. The pairing does have a tag and people use a variety of Hannibal options for it, but I think Hannibal Lecter Series - All Media Types is the most common pick.

I wrote it for the exchange in 2017 and tagged my fic under Hannibal (TV) and Hannibal Lecter Series - All Media Types. Maybe a mod can see how it was originally nominated?

I don't know if any of that helps.

Thanks for popping in! Because we use Hannibal (TV) as a separate fandom, any pairing with only one Hannibal (TV) pairing should be nominated under crossovers. Just make sure you note which character is Hannibal TV and which ones are books and/or movies when you format the tag.

Can you shed any light for us on whether the books and movies should be considered the same universe in future, or separate adaptions with different versions of Clarice?

Oh, okay. It might have been a crossover back then, I couldn't figure out a way to quickly check the old nominations.

I cannot, sorry! I haven't seen/read everything so I don't know.
