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.

Except it's about her history not what I'm wanting in the exchange. What I'm wanting in the exchange is her finding a relationship where she's actually attracted to the person she's with and being true to herself. The male character(s) doesn't have to be (and honestly I'd prefer he not) be in the work at all. If the tag was "lesbian who has only dated men before" it would be fine, right? This is the same thing, just with more bad decisions.

What about "lesbian who was just broken up with by a man she chose to date/woman she's attracted to"

I'm honestly pretty baffled I'm having to clarify this this much. The relationship I want is between two women. One of whom makes bad choices involving men, those men are irrelevant.

Or you said you'd be okay with "lesbian who keeps dating men/her female best friend who gets her to stop being stupid" I'd be fine with going with that, too, if you're still willing to accept it. (Or "lesbian who has repeatedly dated men/her female best friend who gets her to stop being stupid" if you want it to be really clear the man is not important) But honestly at this point I'm reluctant to request/offer it regardless.

This angle could work. We just need a tag that matches only on the f/f component, not what the f/m component lacked, if that makes sense? I apologise that it’s a bit like splitting hairs especially with the character limit, but we want to find a wording that leaves it optional how/if your creator delves into her (negative or otherwise) experiences with men.

Would this suit: Lesbian who has only dated men/Woman she is attracted to and feels true to herself with

You'd be welcome to pair this with optional requests that her experiences with men were negative or to DNW positive experiences with men, as long as you're also okay with a gift that skips over addressing them either way.

Forget it. The part that's important about the tag is the part you have an objection to.

I just wanted to ask for a story about a complicated disaster lesbian who makes bad choices and then changes because she finds someone she actually likes but you want to take all of the teeth out of it.
