Not yet accepted:

• Marriage: Someone's trying to kill me and I think it's my spouse
  • Would it be all right for us to accept this as "Established Marriage - Suspects that Spouse is Trying to Kill Them"?

  • Would it be all right for us to accept this as "Marriage - Finding Out Spouse is Enemy"?
• Identity Porn - Finding Out to Be/Getting Married to Unexpected Person

I'm the Identity Porn nominator. I checked the tagset and seeing that there was no Identity Porn tags yet seemed a lost opportunity for great marriage with a cool spin requests/fic. I feel that taking out the 'Identity Porn' bit makes the meaning of the tag less clear about the shocking secret reveal aspect, and the new tag ends up sounding more like an arranged marriage scenario where the spouses never met each other. The idea of an idenitiy porn scenario is instead about two people in love and married/engaged, but one or neither is aware of their partner's secret identity (yet).

I'd really prefer to keep the Idenity Porn bit in the tags. If you really prefer to get them listed as 'Marriage', then maybe not deleting the identity porn part could be an alternative solution.

Marriage: Someone's trying to kill me and I think it's my spouse

Would it be all right for us to accept this as "Established Marriage - Suspects that Spouse is Trying to Kill Them"?

That's fine. Last year it didn't have a category, so I just took a guess.

We've accepted the tag. Thank you!

Thank you for clarifying, and the tags have been accepted under your rewording.

We are totally on board for identity porn with marriage tropes! The rewording was requested because identity porn is not intrinsically a marriage trope, and for organization purposes we are trying to keep the categories marriage-relevant where possible.

Hi, sorry for the delay and the confusion! It might be too late, but for the record, I'm the Marriage - Largely for practical/legal reasons (and they're also very in love) nominator and just Marriage of Convenience - Both Agree for Both Practical Reasons and Love would work perfectly, I was just hoping to avoid one or both not believing it.

Hello! Thank you for getting back to us and for clarifying the tag. Signups have started so we're no longer making changes to the tag set, but we will include Marriage of Convenience - Both Agree for Both Practical Reasons and Love next year.

[malachiical]

No problem! I can definitely wait until next year for that. Thanks for getting back to me as well!
