Nominations Clarification Post #1

[justmarriedmod]

Fandoms

• The Lord of the Rings (J.R.R. Tolkien) - Nominator, did you have a specific media type in mind, or will it be fine to put your nominated tags under “Lord of the Rings (All Media Types)”?
• Star Wars - The form bugged while we were accepting/disambiguating these tags. If you nominated for a Star Wars fandom, please doublecheck your noms. If any of them were rejected or missing or otherwise don’t seem in order, please get in touch with us? (Edit: If they are currently marked ?! Unapproved, this is fine for now and we'll get to them as soon as we can.)

Ships

• Arthur Curry/Namor the Sub-Mariner: We have moved this tag to Crossover Fandoms as Arthur Curry (DCEU)/Namor the Sub-Mariner (Marvel). Nominator, if you think it should stay in DCEU, let us know?
• Logan (X-Men)/Sara Pezzini (Witchblade) - We will move this from Marvel to Crossover Fandom. Nominator, if you think it should stay in Marvel, let us know?
• Iron Bull/James Vega - We will disambiguate this tag as Iron Bull (Dragon Age)/James Vega (Mass Effect). Nominator, if you meant a different Iron Bull or James Vega, please let us know?

Freeform Tags

• Ritualized Kink - Might you be able to clarify this tag to link it more explicitly to marriage?
• Romanticism - Might you be able to clarify this tag to link it more explicitly to marriage?
• Ritual marriage - Might you be able to make this tag more specific? (Is this a marriage where a ritual is involved, or the marriage is the ritual, or something else entirely??)
• oh no real feelings what do - we love this tag :) that said, might you be able to clarify the tag? (We think this means a fake marriage where one or both participants develop real feelings for each other, but just want to be sure.)

Merged Freeforms

• Cross-species Marriage has been merged with Interspecies Marriage.
• Las Vegas Wedding has been merged with Vegas Wedding.
• Married for a Green Card has been merged with Greencard Marriage.

re: Star Wars, I nommed these relationships and none of them have been approved:

?! Finn/Rose Tico
?! Ben Solo | Kylo Ren/Rose Tico
?! Rey/Ben Solo | Kylo Ren

Does that count as "not in order" at this stage?

[(Anonymous)]

No, the mod only sees a random assortment of nominations at a time, and it takes a while to approve them all.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm aware, but since they're asking and using past tense, I figured I'd ask if this is a sign that something's gone wrong or if they're asking for bug reports before they've finished going through all the nominations they have at the moment.

[justmarriedmod]

?! Unapproved is fine at this stage, and we'll get to them as soon as we can. Editing the original post to clarify. Thank you!

Ah, I took too long to write my second comment. Thank you, mod(s)! I'll keep an eye on the future status of my noms then.:)

[(Anonymous)]

Do you plan on cleaning up the tagset to merge stuff like the various MCU movies and all the Dragon Age noms?

[(Anonymous)]

Seconded. I see that some of the Agent Carter (TV) noms made it into MCU, but not all of them.

[justmarriedmod]

Agent Carter has been fixed and we will get to the rest soon, thank you.

[justmarriedmod]

Hello! Yes, we will be doing a mass tag cleanup (around the middle of this week, hopefully).

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks! Will that include similar freeforms, and if so, do you want suggestions about what to group?

[justmarriedmod]

Hello! We will merge freeforms if they're unambiguously the same (like the few examples above), but will otherwise leave all freeforms as nominated.

[(Anonymous)]

The Lord of the Rings (J.R.R. Tolkien) *is* a specific media type. That's the tag for the books. Please don't merge.

[justmarriedmod]

Thank you! We've approved it as is.

[(Anonymous)]

Hi, I’m responsible for “oh no real feelings what do”. You got it exactly right, but I will understand if it needs to be reworded for clarity.

[justmarriedmod]

Hello! Sorry for the very long delay and thank you for the clarification. Would "Fake Marriage Results in Surprise Real Feelings" be all right?

[(Anonymous)]

Is there a difference between "Greencard Marriage" and "Marrying for Visa and Immigration Purposes"?

[justmarriedmod]

Thanks for mentioning this! We plan to merge the tags, unless anyone has a strong objection.

I am not the nominator but I know that there was a Mephisto crossover event between Marvel & Top Cow called "Devil's Reign" which heavily featured both Wolverine and Witchblade than ran for about a dozen issues. That might still make it a Crossover item, since Top Cow & Marvel traded primary publication on those issues, I don't know.

[justmarriedmod]

Hello! Thank you for mentioning this, it hadn't come up in our research. We've decided to leave this ship in crossovers for now.

I nominated M'Baku/T'Challa and M'Baku/Okoye for MCU, and now they show up approved as M'Baku/T'Challa in both slots.

Could you please add M'Baku/Okoye manually?

[justmarriedmod]

Sorry about that! The tag has been added under MCU.

[kereia]

Thank you. :)

[mlravenwrites]

I nominated James "Bucky" Barnes/Steve Rogers/Sam Wilson (MCU), but it seems to have been approved as "ames "Bucky" Barnes...".

[justmarriedmod]

Sorry about that! The corrected tag has been added to the tag set and the misspelled one deleted. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi! I'm most likely jumping the gun here, but I know I'll forget later, so here goes: I nominated New Girl with three pairings and the fandom and all three pairings were approved, but only two of the pairings are showing up in the tag set. If this is AO3 needing a little time, that's fine, but could you please make sure "Schmidt/Nadia" makes it through when the time comes? Thanks so much!

[justmarriedmod]

Hello! We checked the tag set and Schmidt/Nadia appears under New Girl now, so it may have been a refresh delay.

[innie_darling]

Thanks!

"CHURCH - EmptyFeet" has gotten a canonical tag since I nominated it! Can you change it "Church (Short Film 2019)"?

[justmarriedmod]

Hello! We were able to re-add this fandom with the new tag name.

[(Anonymous)]

Thanks! \o/

[(Anonymous)]

I meant that Iron Bull and that James Vega, sorry for not disambiguating!

[justmarriedmod]

Thanks for getting back to us! No worries, we just wanted to make sure that you got the characters you wanted for the ship (instead of e.g. someone with the same name from a different canon). The nom should be good now.
