Nominations queries #6
Jan. 11th, 2018 06:06 pmTags in already-approved fandoms
Not yet approved fandoms
- Original Work - some worldbuilding tags have been added without disambiguations. Please disambiguate with "Original Work" and some sort of suggestion of a broad genre, e.g. "(Original Work - high fantasy)", "(Original Work - pulp SF)", "(Original Work - soulmates)", etc.

- Black Mirror - the two worldbuilding tags nominated so far are from different episodes, with completely different worldbuilding. Mostly, this has made me realise that I should have considered anthology series at some point in setting up the rules! I'm quite happy to approve this as-is for now and make a note to work things out properly before next round, but I'll give it 24 hours or so from this post in case anyone wants to discuss it in the comments.
- Obernewtyn Chronicles - Isobelle Carmody and Pokemon (Main Video Games) are new additions to the missing character tags list. Given that no character tags at all are nominated under the Pokemon one, I did wonder whether the nominator's intention was to add extra worldbuilding nominations to "Pokemon (Main Video Games & Colosseum/XD)", which is already in the tag set in the Uncategorized Fandoms section.

Date: 2018-01-11 09:27 pm (UTC)I think the tag itself should be changed to Pokemon - All Media Types, imo.
The general rule for this exchange is that the fandom tag gives an indication of what source material is fair game to extrapolate worldbuilding from, so I'm wary of changing those without all nominators agreeing, as people may be planning to make their requests and/or offers based on the material they're most familiar with.
On the other hand, fandoms overlapping with each other is allowed. (For example, there are three types of Harry Potter in the tag set - just the books, everything except the website, absolutely everything including the website - and four different Star Warses - one for just the films, one for the whole of the old Expanded Universe, and two for different eras of the new Expanded Universe.) So you're welcome to change your Pokemon noms to be for an AMT tag, as long as you're happy that that would encompass all the various strands of Pokemon canon, including the anime, Pokemon Special (which is already in the tag set separately, fwiw), etc. in one big bundle.
I won't approve just yet in case you do want to change your noms again. (If you do go for a fandom that's not already in the tag set, though, please add the Any or No ... and Original Characters tags.)
