Arrow (TV) vs. Arrowverse, and other questions

[longficmod]

Updated list of questions below:

Nominations will close Friday, 22 Mar at 11:59 PM, EDT. What time is that for me?

We have some outstanding questions. If these are your nominations, please provide clarification and a link to your nomination form ASAP--we'll need to resolve these one way or another before we open signups on 23 March.

If you notice any errors, misspellings, duplicates, or confusing fandom/tag associations, please give us a heads-up on that, too!

1. We've had at least two nominations for Arrow (TV), and one of the nominators wanted them under Arrowverse instead. Can the nominators of that and related fandoms please let us know which they would prefer, and if we go with Arrowverse, which related fandoms also belong there?
2. Group: Yelena Belova & Kate Bishop was nominated under MCU, but to our knowledge, Kate Bishop hasn't appeared in the MCU. Please nominate this under Crossover Fandom instead.
3. Could the nominator of Oxenfree (Video Game) please clarify whether their character tag The Drowned is different from the canonical character tag The Sunken?

I nominated the two under Arrow (TV) because at the time there were no other nominations. I'm more than happy with the move if it makes things easier. 😊

[longficmod]

Thanks! We've gone with combining based on responses.

I nominated Flash and Legends of Tomorrow as separate fandoms. Even though some of the characters appear in both shows (and for that matter in Supergirl and Arrow), there are often distinct differences in characterization.

I'd prefer if they stay separate. If I recall correctly, that's the way you've done it in the past.

Thank you! Could you provide a link to your nominations?

Thanks--we have done it that way in the past, but most responses seem to prefer combining them, which is more similar to how we're handling MCU this year. Sorry for the inconvenience!

I've had a look at the new tag set. I nominated Leonard Snart & Mick Rory (Legends of Tomorrow) and Leonard Snart & Mick Rory (Flash), each under the appropriate fandom.

Now that you've merged the four tag sets, I could understand if you also merged the two tags into one, i.e. Leonard Snart & Mick Rory. However, you don't seem to have done that. Instead, one of them doesn't appear at all.

I want to be able either to request both, or to be able to request the merged version.

I'm not sure I understand--we do have Leonard Snart & Mick Rory under the Arrowverse (TV) fandom. Is the problem that (Legends of Tomorrow) still appears in that tag from the merge? If so, I can update the tag so it just lists the characters.

[greerwatson]

Yes, that's what I meant by "merging the tags". If you'd just list the characters, please.

[longficmod]

Done!

I nominated Arrowverse and I prefer it be combined, similarly to how you handle MCU.

[longficmod]

Wound up doing that based on the responses. Thank you!

I had a couple nominations that I also prefer be grouped under Arrowverse. There are so many crossovers among the four shows that most characters have technically been on all three of the other shows, so it just makes more sense, I think, to have them all together than have them separate.

[longficmod]

Thank you! Could you provide a link to your nominations?

I really need to get a Dreamwidth account so I can get replies. Sorry this is late!

No worries--thank you!

[sandrine]

I nominated several Flash ships and since there is an overlap with Legends of Tomorrow characters, I'd be okay with grouping them under Arrowverse.

Thank you! That's what we've gone with, based on responses.
