worldbuildingmod: The Nebra Sky Disc (nebra)
[personal profile] worldbuildingmod
I haven't reached the point of clearing all nominations except the ones I have queries about, but I have wrestled it down to the point where I can see everything that's left on the same page, so I'm pausing there for now to put up this post.

I'm relatively less able to get online over the weekend - I will probably do one big push on approving tags at some point over the next couple of days, and then everything else will have to wait until after nominations close on Monday (I have given myself a three-day buffer zone in the schedule for a reason). Please be patient, but do note if you're still mulling noms that 0755 UTC is early on Monday in many time zones, and even potentially Sunday night if you're somewhere like the US West Coast - countdown here.

Missing character tags

The following fandoms are missing one or both of "Any or No Characters (Name of Fandom)" and "Original Character(s) (Name of Fandom)". They will not be approved without both these tags present.

  • Disco Elysium (Video Game)
  • Discworld - Terry Pratchett
  • Dragonriders of Pern - Anne McCaffrey
  • Ever After Academy (Visual Novel)
  • Fate/Grand Order
  • The Elementalists (Visual Novel)
  • The Left Hand of Darkness - Ursula K. Le Guin*
  • Where the Sky is Silver and the Earth is Brass - Sonya Taaffe

*I do appreciate that the two nominated tags "Original Gethenian Characters" and "Original Hainish Characters" cover 99%+ of potential OCs, but I don't see a compelling reason to create an exemption from the general rule.

Specific queries in already-approved fandoms

  • All the Wrong Questions - Lemony Snicket - The Bellerophon Brothers In general, character tags should be for individuals (or "Any" type tags) although I have made exceptions int he past for definite groups within the canon whose members have little or no separate existence from one another; it seems from a bit of wiki-diving that that might be the case here, but it's hard to tell. Some clarification would be appreciated.
  • Team Fortress 2 - WB: Life after the war There seem to be two wars in the timeline, the Gravel War and the Robot War; it seems more likely that the intended one is the Gravel War?


Specific queries in yet-to-be-approved fandoms

  • Motherland: Fort Salem - please check that your tags are in the right categories; the overall number of worldbuilding tags nominated here exceeds the number of "Relationship" slots available so I think some of them must have been nominated in "Character" slots.
  • Pokemon (Main video game series) - Worldbuilding: Sinnoh Legends and/or Johto Rituals (Pokemon MVGS) Are there sufficient similarities between these that the "and/or" makes sense, or would this work better as two different tags?
