Nominations post - Round 4

[worldbuildingmod]

Nominations are now open here. Full nominations information is available in this section of this round's rules post; this post is intended to summarise the most important points, particularly where there are differences from what is typical in most other exchanges.

You can nominate up to five fandoms, with seven character slots and five "worldbuilding" slots (using the AO3 relationship fields) for each.

Fandom names used should make it clear what the scope of the source material intended is. This may mean using AO3 non-canonicals. It is OK in this exchange for nominated fandoms to overlap in whole or in part (e.g. "Star Wars - Movies Only", "Star Wars - Legends", "Star Wars - New EU" would have some elements in common and others not). Crossovers are OK if and only if the crossover happened in canon; in this case, nominate under both fandoms, divided by a / (e.g. "How To Get Away With Murder/Scandal").

Please do:

• disambiguate all tags with the name of the fandom (please ignore the instructions on the nomination page itself to choose AO3 canonicals - these only occasionally have the disambiguations; unfortunately, this is standard AO3 text that I can't override)
  
• nominate the two "default" character tags used in the exchange -- "Original Character(s) (name of fandom)" and "Any or No Characters (name of fandom)" -- in each fandom you nominate
  
• preface all worldbuilding tags with "WB: "
  
• double check that your character tags are in character fields and your worldbuilding tags are in relationship fields (on the approval interface, I have no way to see which tags were nominated as which)
  
• be patient while waiting for your tags to be approved*

Please don't:

• nominate actual relationships (e.g. A/B, C&D) in the Relationship fields
  
• nominate RPF, or worldbuilding tags for close-to-real-world canons that would similarly constitute solely RL research with no use of creativity to answer the questions
  
• nominate AU ideas, unless the AU in question appears within the canon
  
• nominate fandoms without at least one worldbuilding tag

This post doubles as an evidence post and a brainstorming post. Feel free to comment here to provide extra information you think may help me deal with your nominations, or to discuss with other fans how best to organise your shared fandoms.

I will post clarifications posts regularly during the tag set sorting period; please keep an eye on the comm to see if any of your tags appear with issues or queries.

*Please note that I will be changing how I approach the tag set behind the scenes (in particular, I am trying to build the spreadsheet as I go), which means that it is likely there will be a slightly longer wait for your tags to be approved compared to previous years.

Nominations will close at 1655 UTC on Wednesday 15th January (countdown).

Re: DC Live Action Multiverse

They just finished airing it a few hours ago.

There are still a number of DC live action properties that aren't Arrowverse canon. I can make a list for you, but the biggest ones missing are the Dark Knight Trilogy, Watchmen, and the 70s Wonder Woman show, but there is more missing than that.

Also, a heads up that as of tonight the world that Arrow/Flash/Legends of Tomorrow/Batwoman took place on, Supergirl's Earth, and Black Lightning Earth have all been merged into a single Earth designated Earth-Prime, with massive status quo changes and complete histories altered. I don't know if you want to give a heads up to requesters only asking for a single show that they might want to specify Pre-Crisis or Post-Crisis since it's such a big change.

I think this will definitely have to be a matter for ODs, but given that your umbrella tag is going in, that will help as people who do want Prime Earth can request under that, whereas people who want to stick to the individual Earths can probably use the other shows.
