Crossover Fandom

[longficmod]

Hello, all! We seem to have run into some odd behavior with the Crossover Fandom nominations, where anything submitted to that fandom will be auto-rejected. I have some idea how this happened, but there doesn't seem to be a way to fix it. I'll report this issue to AO3, but in order to keep things moving, please submit your crossover nominations to the following fandom instead:

Crossover Fandom Relationships

Nominations for this new fandom should follow the same guidelines as usual:

• "Character A (Fandom)/Character B (Fandom)" - this means that you are nominating Character A/Character B shipfic, and that it is a crossover. Please be specific about fandoms, especially if there are a lot of adaptations featuring Character A and/or Character B.
• "Character A (Fandom) & Character B (Fandom)" this means you are nominating Character A and Character B in a gen configuration, and that it is a crossover. Please be specific about fandoms, especially if there are a lot of adaptations featuring Character A and/or Character B.

Sorry for the confusion!

If your nominations were already submitted and auto-rejected, please drop me a link to your nominations page or put the list of relationships you would like in these comments, and I'll add them manually.

Yes, Zhang Rishan across the adaptations - unfortunately, each of the adaptations corresponds to basically one of the books, which occur chronologically. (So it would be the same as if each books of Game of Thrones had its own tv series.) And most of the characters are across multiple shows, but they exist in different adaptations/places in the timeline, or in the novels but different times. The thing I want is how Zhang Rishan and this character he dates in one of the tv adaptations interact with other novel characters present day. But Zhang Rishan only exist in present day in the tv series (in the books he exists only in the Old Nine Gates|Mystic Nine novel, but in that book he has special bug-proof longlived blood that is very relevant to the other characters I want him to interact with and more generally to the DMBJ plot). And other characters exist only in the novels. I could leave it as just novel!Zhang Rishan, but he doesn't exist in the novels past the Old Nine Gates|Mystic Nine book! So there is no way to nominate this dramaverse ship interacting with these novelverse characters, with only one tv show.

The novels already have this covered as they are all politely under a single fandom name and not under each chronologically set drama name. But dramaverse, unfortunately, is not a single tag!

That was why I originally asked how I should put it in!

Let me see if I can pick an individual adaptation and then specify in the optional details that I also want him as he was in the Sha Hai tv show including in the canon ship from that.

Or should I just "DMBJ - all media types" which was what I put for Candy Hearts Exchange?

Sorry, I didn't realize quite how complicated this was!

If it's easiest to do it as All Media Types, I'm fine with that in this case, if you're comfortable with the possibility of a writer or recipient only being familiar with parts of the canon. I usually prefer not to do AMT in cases where multiple sub-types are also nominated, but I don't believe that's the case for these fandoms.

Could you please link your nominations page?

Thanks! Just to confirm, would you prefer AMT for these nominations?

[lacommunarde]

If it's easiest (and more closely follows what crossover nominations are for), yes please! (Otherwise, if it's fine to put in the actual fandom tags and if they can be added with the maximum letter/character length, that works too!)

I think I have most of those sorted under Daomu Biji - All Media Types now! (Just to be clear, the concern is mostly with the crossover nominations that specified multiple canons for a single character in the relationship--crossovers are generally intended for Character A (Fandom #1)/Character B (Fandom #2)-type nominations.)

Can you please confirm whether Zhang Xueliang (Shao Shuai | Young Marshal - historical figure) & Zhang Qishan (Daomu Biji) is a crossover between DMBJ and historical RPF, or whether Zhang Xueliang is in DMBJ AMT and that should also go in AMT?

[lacommunarde]

Zhang Xueliang (Shao Shuai | Young Marshal - historical figure) & Zhang Qishan (Daomu Biji) is a crossover between DMBJ and historical RPF!

Thank you!
