Nominations Closed + Final Clarifications  
Nominations have closed! If yours haven't been approved, please check the below clarifications. Signups will open no later than Saturday, Sept 25 at 9 pm Eastern.

Marvel
Could the nominators of ships under the fandom "Marvel" please clarify which of our Marvel fandoms they meant these ships to fall under? If no one replies, the ships will be rejected.

The following fandoms have been combined:
  • Private Practice and Grey’s Anatomy have even combined under ‘Grey’s Anatomy’. In future rounds, we’ll have this listed in the Shared Universe list under a broader fandom title.
  • The L word 2004 and Generation Q have been approved under ‘The L Word (2004 and 2019)’

The Adventures of Tom Bombadil
Can Tolkien fans comment on how this should (or shouldn’t) be combined as part of the Hobbit books or with one of the other existing Tolkien tags?

Arrowverse
There are two nominations ("Astra/Alex Danvers" and "Astra/Cat Danvers") for Astra that don’t specify either General Astra or Astra Logue. If we don’t hear back, we will approve as General Astra.

There were several ships containing Zari nominated using the canonical tags, which include both canonical Zaris ("Sara Lance/Ava Sharpe/Zari Tomaz | Zari Tarazi (Arrowverse)", "Sara Lance/Zari Tomaz | Zari Tarazi (Arrowverse)"). Could the nominators clarify which version of Zari they wanted?

Original Work
We are unclear on the intended scope of the following tag: "lesbian who dates men/her best friend who calls her on being stupid though it doesn't stop her". F/M and F/F/M etc. requests may only be included as optional details in this exchange. If the nominator wishes to clarify or reword the tag please let us know, otherwise we will reject.

EDIT: We also need clarification on "Succubus/Incubus" - typically, incubuses are male. Does the nominator have a specified gender for the incubus? We've removed the tag for now but are happy to add back in.

Are the settings etc. all consistent with the books, even if the characters aren't shared? If they are, it sounds like it might fit the shared universe requirements. I'm happy to leave these until closer to sign-ups opening to see if anyone else wants to weigh in either way though, particularly if the poetry format limits how clear it is that the setting is shared or if there's any other issues like that.

It's complicated; many of the poems aren't explicitly set in Middle-earth and there are some tonal inconsistencies, but that can be explained by them being intended as in-world documents. I would say the setting is less "shared" than The Silmarillion, though, which is in as a separate fandom, despite very definitely existing in the same continuity as LotR and The Hobbit.

All that said, I don't have a strong preference, and I'm happy to wait and see if other Tolkien fans have a view!

Ah, gotcha, thanks for the Silmarillion comparison, that helps a lot. I'll leave it open a bit just in case anyone else has a strong opinion, but if there's no further comments then I'll approve it as a separate fandom.
