Nomination Clarifications #1  
A note on Character/Reader ships - they're eligible for the exchange, but please specify gender of the reader in your nomination. We've been changing any nominated */Reader ships to */Female Reader.

The following fandom tags do not match the shared universe rules. These will not be approved until the fandoms are corrected, so please double check the nomination guidelines for the shared universe list and alter your nominations:
  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV)

  • Dragon Age (Video Games)

  • Marvel

  • Persona 5

  • Pocket Monsters: Sword & Shield | Pokemon Sword & Shield Versions (we believe this should be included as part of the main games, but please comment if we’ve got that wrong)

  • Star Trek: Deep Space Nine

  • Star Trek: Discovery

  • Supergirl (TV 2015)


We will be approving all crossover nominations this year without clarifying non-specific franchise fandoms. Please be aware that if you use a broad fandom tag like Character (Tomb Raider) or Character (Marvel), any optional details you give on which parts of the franchise you’d like to see in your gift will remain entirely optional for your creator. If anyone would like to make a broad approved nomination more specific, drop us a comment.

Baby-Sitters Club & California Diaries
The California Diaries appears to be a spinoff series of The Baby-Sitters Club. Do the two take place in the same universe, or should they be kept as separate fandoms?

Critical Role
Exandria Unlimited (Webseries) has been nominated separately, but it takes place in the same universe as Critical Role. Does the nominator/s have a reason why they should be kept separate? Otherwise we'll be combining them.

Doctor Who
Thirteenth Doctor/Clara Oswald was rejected when Thirteenth Doctor/Clara Oswin Oswald was approved. If the nominator of the first was intending to nominate a specific Clara fragment, drop us a comment.

The DoctorDonna has been approved as a separate character to Donna Noble. We dropped the ‘Donna Noble component of the character tag to avoid confusion with Donna Noble (the original all human version), but if this is unclear or confusing to anyone please let us know.

Fire Emblem Awakening
We have approved My Unit | Reflet | Robin/Sallya | Tharja, and rejected Female Robin/Tharja as a duplicate. If we’ve misunderstood and these are actually different characters, please let us know.

Naruto
Emporio Ivanakov is listed on the wiki as a man, and the mods are both unfamiliar with the canon. Could the nominator or anyone else clarify that this character is female or genderqueer?

I did not nominate BSC/CD, however my vote is for keeping them separate. They do share a handful of characters but the storylines are completely dissimilar. California Diaries can be read alone and it would not shock me if people picked that up who did not ever read a BSC book. There are characters in CD that do not exist in the BSC that would be impossible for people who nominate BSC characters to write. Same goes for those who only read CD if they are merged. Just my two cents.

Not the nominator but came here to say the same thing. They take place in completely different locations (BSC - East Coast, CD - West Coast). While they do share a couple of characters, the characters in Cali Diaries are older versions and don't share storylines with their younger selves.
