Nominations Open!

[justmarriedmod]

Nominations for Just Married 2020 are open! Find the tagset here: https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/4135.

Nominations will close 11:59pm UTC on the 12th of May. To convert UTC to your time zone, click here, adjust the date as necessary, and click “add a city or time zone.”

You may nominate up to 7 fandoms, 7 relationships per fandom, and 10 freeform tags. Mods will approve nominations throughout the time range, and clarification questions will be posted to this community.

For relationship tags, please nominate in the format 'Character A/Character B' for romantic relationships and use 'Character A & Character B' for non-romantic relationships. You may nominate more than two characters in a relationship.

Please disambiguate all relationship tags by adding "(Fandom Name)" at the end. Examples: Jake Peralta/Amy Santiago (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), Confused Male Demon & The Male Prime Minister He Accidentally Possessed (Original Work).

Freeform tags are for trope or situation matching. Examples include: arranged marriage, accidentally married, sedoretu, etc. Feel free to get creative but please aim for clarity. For example, “soulbond marriage” is ambiguous, “marriage with forced soulbonding” is clearer.

Last year's freeforms have been copied over! We recommend reviewing the tag set before nominating. Please also nominate only marriage tropes and situations! Freeforms unrelated to marriage will be rejected.

Specific fandom notes: Based on feedback from last year: All Dragon Age nominations go under Dragon Age: All Media Types. All of the associated movies go under Marvel Cinematic Universe, and all of the associated movies go under DC Extended Universe.

Original Works are welcome. Please nominate under the Original Work fandom tag. If you have specific genders in mind, include those in your nomination. Example: “Female Soldier/Male Assassin (Original Work).”

Crossovers are welcome. Please nominate crossover relationships under the Crossover Fandom tag. List the character name followed by their canon. Example: “Tony Stark (MCU)/Bruce Wayne (DCU).” Crossover nominations that do not follow this format may be rejected.

I just wanted to say thank you for pulling in last year's freeform tagset! I really loved the nominations, and it saves me a lot of work double-checking that my favorites are still there. :D

Thanks for running this again!

Question: I would like to nominate Vulcan OCs, and I don't care what era of Star Trek they go in. Do I pick one? Do I nominate it as "Star Trek - All Media Types"? Just "Star Trek"?

ETA: apparently, it's not Star Trek - All Media Types, just Star Trek. I shall do that.

[justmarriedmod]

Hello! For this round, we will be keeping Star Trek franchise noms separated into their individual TV shows and movies. We suggest you pick one or more ST eras and nominate the OC ships there. If you wish to, we can keep your noms under the general 'Star Trek' umbrella, but please note someone offering ST: TOS will not match a request under 'Star Trek' and vice versa. Let us know?

[beatrice_otter]

Done!

[klutzygirl]

9-1-1: Lone Star (TV 2020) ships are under 9-1-1: Lone Star RPF! Could have sworn I clicked the right option but apparently not. Could you please fix it?

[justmarriedmod]

Fixed, thanks for the heads-up!

[klutzygirl]

Thank you for fixing it!

[reine_des_corbeaux]

Iorek Byrnison/Lee Scoresby appears to have wandered into The Magnus Archives fandom tag. This is a ship from His Dark Materials (no idea whether the nominator meant it to be from the books or the show).

[justmarriedmod]

Thank you for the heads-up - I've deleted the tag from the TMA category and will make a note on the next clarification post. The tag was also nominated under His Dark Materials (TV) and can still be found there.

[mlravenwrites]

First of all, thank you so much for running this exchange again! It was the last one I did before I started grad school last fall, so I'm excited for it to be my first one back in the saddle, so to speak. Hope you're doing well and staying safe as much as possible!


A few questions (sorry for bothering you):
- Will Marvel TV be grouped with MCU? If not, there are a few tags that have wandered.

- Since you said all MCU movies will go into MCU, just a heads up that Black Panther is somehow its own fandom tag (maybe tags wandering again?)

- I know you said DC movies are going into DCEU. What about comics? Are they split up by main characters (ie Batman - All Media Types or Batman - Comics) or should they all go in DCU (Comics)?

[justmarriedmod]

Hello! Glad you're joining us again for this round of JM, and we hope you're doing all right and staying safe too. Thank you for your questions.

- Marvel TV will be grouped separately from the MCU.
- Thanks for the heads-up. For this round, Black Panther is considered part of the MCU and we will move the tags when we do cleanup.
- All comics can all go under DCU (Comics), unless a nominator wants otherwise (if so, please let us know).

I nominated some Netflix Marvel TV pairings as Defenders (TV) - does that work? If it's a non-canonical fandom tag, those pairings will automatically synn to MCU; we've had this happen before in some exchanges when using, for example, Marvel TV or Netflix Marvel as the umbrella tag. Or would you rather have them nominated as the individual shows?

[justmarriedmod]

Thanks for the heads-up! For this round, we will be grouping Defenders tags under Marvel TV. It's fine to leave your noms as-is (we'll re-categorize them under Marvel TV during tag cleanup) but also feel free to change your noms if we haven't gotten to them yet.

[sholio]

I'm happy to go with that, but just so you know, unless things have changed with AO3's back-end synning, anyone who tries to nominate tags under both Marvel TV and MCU (as separate fandoms) will be locked out of their nominations control panel and unable to add new tags once any of their tags in either of those fandoms are accepted, because AO3 thinks these are the same fandom and anytime you try to resave tags (in that fandom, other fandoms, doesn't matter), it gives an error about having the same fandom twice and refuses to let you save. This happened to me and other people in two different exchanges last year.

[justmarriedmod]

Thanks for the heads-up - that's tough. I've changed the fandom name to Marvel - TV and moved the current noms over, and from my end of things the nom page doesn't lock you out any more if you have accepted MCU and Marvel - TV noms. Would this work better?

Alternatively, feel free to leave your noms as they are right now, and we'll accept them as-is and move them during cleanup so your noms page isn't affected?

[sholio]

I'm fine with moving them over - my experience last year was that it doesn't matter if you put them in that way or if the mods move them, it locks you out either way. (The other thing about the Marvel TV tag is that it does not show up under TV - I think it was generally showing up under Movies last year.)

I don't know what the tag with the dash will do, but if it doesn't lock me out and preferably shows up in the TV category, I'm all for it!

[scioscribe]

This locking-out thing happened to me, too--I'd nominated under both Marvel - TV and Marvel Cinematic Universe, and now I can't edit anything because the system says, "You seem to be trying to nominate Marvel Cinematic Universe more than once." It's okay in my case--I was just going to play around with some more freeforms--but I thought I'd confirm that it's a weird bug that apparently pops up with the Marvel split.

Is RPF allowed? Specifically The Beatles (Band)?

[justmarriedmod]

Hello! Yes, RPF is allowed.

Parade's End AMT

[ashling]

Hiya,

While the Parade's End tv series and book series do have a few differences, they're close enough that the AMT tag is apparently used. for most things on AO3. There isn't really a canonical separate book tag that I'm aware of, so in this and other exchanges I'm defaulting to AMT. Sorry, I know AMTs are a pain but I promise I won't make a fuss since I've seen both tv and book and like them both anyway. This is just kinda how the fandom is and I don't know why.

Re: Parade's End AMT

[justmarriedmod]

Hello! Thanks for the heads-up. We've accepted the All Media Types nominations.

all of the associated movies go under DC Extended Universe

Isn't Birds of Prey part of the DCEU? Right now it's appearing separately for me, and there's already a duplicate nomination as a result - "Helena Bertinelli/Dinah Lance (DCEU)" is nommed under DC Extended Universe, and "Helena Bertinelli/Dinah Lance (BOP)" is nommed under Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn) (2020), even though AFAIK these are the same pairing.

Where should Birds of Prey movieverse nominations actually be going?

[justmarriedmod]

Hello! Thanks for the heads-up. We have moved the Birds of Prey movieverse nominations to DCEU and have removed the duplicate tag, so now there is only one Helena Bertinelli/Dinah Lance tag under DCEU.

[(Anonymous)]

Understood, and thanks for addressing it so quickly! I just didn't want to nominate things to the wrong spot and make more work for you later.

I've noticed a duplicate ship under crossovers:
Spock (AOS)/Three (Dark Matter TV)
Spock (AOS)/Three (Dark Matter)

[justmarriedmod]

Fixed, thank you!
