There are almost exactly three days left from the time of this post until the close of nominations (countdown).

Fandoms with missing tags

To be approved, all fandoms need to have the "Any or No Characters" and "Original Character(s)" character tags nominated, and at least one worldbuilding tag.

At present, the following five fandoms are missing at least one of the two character tags: The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells, Dark is Rising Sequence - Susan Cooper, Fallout: New Vegas, Midsummer Night's Dream - William Shakespeare, White Collar

And two fandoms have no worldbuilding tags: White Collar, X-Men - All Media Types

Queries about new tags in already approved fandoms
  • Chrono Trigger - WB: Janus' early life especially with his magic differing (Chrono Trigger), WB: post-game quest to rescue Crono's mother and/or the cats (Chrono Trigger) - I am willing to be convinced (particularly on the first of these two), but these seem more like character/plot prompts than specifically worldbuilding related.
  • Kingsman (Movies) - WB: Kingsman spies but set in Victorian London - the backstory has the Kingsman organisation being founded post-WWI, so this seems like a prompt for a non-canon AU; this tag will be rejected after 48 hours unless a pretty spectacular counterargument appears

Not-yet-approved fandoms
  • Jean Robertson Series - Janet Sandison - this seems to be a very-close-to-real-world canon (e.g. it's described as "semiautobiographical"), so I'm not sure that the worldbuilding tags nominated ("Country vs Town", "Honour vs Rules", "The Depression", "Women's Roles") constitute prompts for extrapolation of the fictional world, as opposed to historical research. I am not completely closed to being persuaded otherwise, but at present am leaning towards rejecting this fandom; I will do this after 48 hours.
  • The Reluctant Widow - Georgette Heyer - the only nominated worldbuilding tag is "How Francis saves the day as hinted onscreen in the book but not shown" - this seems to me to be filling in gaps in canon but not necessarily in a "worldbuilding" way

Previous queries
  • Supergirl (TV 2015) - WB: the Xenosexual Scene and Maggie's Bildungsroman - I have adjusted this tag to just "WB: the Xenosexual Scene" but am willing to change it back if a good argument is presented
  • Original Work - WB: Hallmark Channel Small Town Gothic - I still feel as though this is a setting in which more specific worldbuilding tags could be nominated, rather than a worldbuilding tag in and of itself. At present, I am leaning towards rejecting this, but I have the feeling I may be misunderstanding the intent.
  • End of Eternity | Resonance of Fate - WB: Massacre Cult details - I still can't find any evidence for the existence of this (e.g. searching for the word "cult" on the fandom's wiki gets no returns), so am leaning towards rejection. This is currently the only worldbuilding tag nominated for this fandom; I will not reject the whole fandom at this stage, but it will not be approved without worldbuilding tags

(I have decided to give it a bit longer before rejecting the last two tags mentioned above, either to allow the nominator to explain or use the slot for something else.)
