Initial Query

Nominations are open, and we have one query.

People nominating for Star Wars Legends, do you want this fandom as an All Media Types fandom, split up by media, individual instalments, or something else entirely?

Not sure it would be easy to split. Star Wars Legends - All Media Types seems easiest to me, and what I see most tagged.

I'm considering nominating KOTOR (which is a part of Legends) and I'd really prefer for it to be a separate fandom.

Agreed when it comes to KOTOR.

Thanks! Any opinion on the rest of the things that could fall under the Legends label?

Hm. I'm less active in the fandom for the rest of Legends. There are some other cases like KOTOR that stand mostly on their own, but it might make sense to leave everything else as Legends until/unless a preference is expressed otherwise.

seconded... I am not used to seeing it lumped in with Legends, and not its own affair. Thought this was more aimed at dividing out by, like, the Thrawn Trilogy and the X-Wing books and such...

Would it make sense to approve KOTOR as one fandom and all the Legends books as another?

[personal profile] senmut 2021-03-22 12:31 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I think so.

I prefer individual installments.

Would you prefer it broken down farther than KOTOR as one fandom and Legends books as the another, for example?

Yes, but that's just my personal preference. If everyone else wants a Legends catch-all, that's fine. I'd just like to keep comics separate.

I noticed a tag under crossovers that is slightly wonky - this needs a slash or an ampersand:

Group: James "Bucky" Barnes (MCU) Geralt of Rivia (Witcher TV)

Oh yikes, that was me! It should have been a /.

Thank you to pointing this out!

Thanks--should be fixed now!

Related question: what about canon instalments that don't quite fit into the PT/OT/ST divide? ie the standalone movies (Solo, Rogue One) and the new EU books (Aftermath, Alphabet Squadron)

Group: Uzumaki Naruto/Nara Skikaku

This tag under the Naruto fandom is wrong, it should be Group: Uzumaki Naruto/Nara Shikaku

Question - on my list to nom is Holden McNeil/Banky Edwards, and the characters originally appeared in Chasing Amy but have also been in Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back and now in Jay & Silent Bob Reboot. In other exchanges this pairing/these movies have been slotted under the umbrella fandom of "Askewniverse". I see someone else has nominated Clerks, which would generally also fall under Askewniverse. Should I nominate the umbrella fandom, or use Chasing Amy?

If you'd prefer to use Chasing Amy, feel free to nominate there! If the umbrella fandom makes more sense to you, we can put out a query post and move the Clerks nominations into it if the other nominator has no problem with it. We'd probably just want to avoid having both the umbrella fandom and one of the individual movies.
