2025 Nominations Clarification Post 3

[longficmod]

Thanks to all who have replied to nominations queries or alerted me to errors in the tagset! I'm hoping to resolve a few more items before signups open later today--the more we can fix now, the easier signups will be. Please let me know if you see any other problems.

I will be clearing nominations at the start of signups, then reopening them to allow everyone to nominate an additional 3 fandoms with 4 characters or relationships during signups. I'll make a note of any unapproved nominations with unresolved queries at that time and will add the tags myself once the nominators reply to those queries.

Speaking of which!

Two new items:

• Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Original Series (Movies): Apologies, I approved without noticing this potential duplicate! Are these distinct fandoms? My understanding is the movies are in continuity with the show and they are often combined, but if it makes sense to leave them separate, I'm happy to do so.
• Warhammer 40.000 and Warhammer 40k (Novels) - Various Authors: if you nominated one of these fandoms, please check the tagset to confirm your chosen tags are in the correct fandom. There were some oddities with disambiguation and wandering relationships, and I think I've resolved them correctly, but please let me know if they're wrong.

Queries from last post: 

House of the Dragon (TV):

• For Aegon Targaryen/Aemond "One-Eye" Targaryen (HotD) and Aegon Targaryen/Aemond "One-Eye" Targaryen/Helaena Targaryen (HotD), is this specifically Aegon II Targaryen and not Aegon III? If I don't hear otherwise, I will assume you mean Aegon II.
• Character: Cannibal the Wild Dragon (HotD): Can someone confirm that Cannibal has appeared in the show?

Hunger Games Series - All Media Types:

• We already have nominations for the book trilogy and for Sunrise on the Reaping as their own fandoms. Can you please specify whether you're looking for the books or the films?

Marvel Cinematic Universe, WandaVision:

• We have nominations for Wanda/Vision under both MCU and WandaVision, as well as Agatha Harkness & Wanda Maximoff under the MCU I've heard from the person who nominated Wanda/Vision under the show and is fine with combining it into the MCU. Can the Wanda/Agatha nominator let me know if they have a strong preference for keeping the fandoms separate?

not the nominator but Star Trek: The Original Series and Star Trek: The Original Series (Movies) are very different! Star Trek: The Original Series is the original TV series with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy while the movies are Star Trek: The Original Series (Movies) with Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto and a reboot.

Hi, thanks for commenting! I thought the Pine & Quinto reboot was usually called Star Trek: Alternate Original Series (Movies) (which is also nominated) and not Star Trek: The Original Series (Movies) (nominated separately)--do I have that wrong? If so, what does the AOS refer to? This is a franchise I'm only casually familiar with, so appreciate the help.

You are correct. The Pine & Quinto are normally referred to as the AOS.

The distinction in the tags of TOS is purely a practical matter of 'these actors changed their interpretations' but would easily be disregarded in this exchange. Not the original nominator, but definitely one of the original users who argued for the two tags due to tonal shifts.

Thanks, that makes sense!

Hi. I'm the nominator who kept their "Star Trek: The Original Series" and their "Star Trek: The Original Series (Movies)" nominations as separated:

Yes, it's true that the series and the movies have the same characters/actors and the movies are sequels of the series. However, they have rather different vibes, and in my opinion it makes sense to keep them separated. More specifically, TOS series was made in the 60s, it aired on television and it was very episodic in nature, so people could watch random episodes with almost no references to the previous ones. On the other hand, TOS movies were made mostly around the 80s, they have some new characters and they have a specific continuity, to the point where some movies don't make much sense without watching them in the right order.

As someone who has requested and offered TOS movies multiple times in different exchanges, I've always had positive experiences when I could nominate the movies as their own fandom, because it was always clear to anyone requesting or offering that we were on the same page.

Hello, thanks for confirming! I'm fine leaving them separate if that makes sense to participants--mostly wanted to make sure it wasn't two different nominators who happened to grab different tags but were interested in the same thing.

Hi! Yes, the HotD nominations are for Aegon II. And Cannibal hasn't appeared in the show yet, so if you want to delete it, works for me.

[longficmod]

Got it, thanks! You're welcome to nominate Cannibal in a crossover with characters from the show, if you like--the idea would be that anyone offering HotD TV would be able to write for all the relationships without having to consume other sources. Crossover Fandom would work for this, though!
