Tag set | Countdown to close of noms


I was hoping to get all the tags for which there weren't any queries approved before posting one of these, but between the high pace at which people are nominating (a Good Thing) and the slow pace at which AO3 is letting me approve (a Bad Thing), I haven't yet got anywhere near, and I have a sufficiently large number of queries that doing this now seems worthwhile. If your fandom is not mentioned below and has not been approved yet, thank you for your continuing patience.

(NB: I am continuing to take people's thoughts on Original Works and the Silmarillion here until around 2200 UTC on Saturday.)

Specific fandom queries

  • Harry Potter Wizarding World - No Pottermore - Teacher Character(s) (HP Wizarding World - No Pottermore) - is the intent of this effectively "Original Teacher Character(s)" or "your pick of any of the canon Hogwarts teachers"? I'd need a fair bit of convincing to approve the latter over a series of tags for named characters.
  • Oblivion (2013) - several characters are nominated as "Any [character name]" - could the nominator expand on what's intended here? (I don't know this movie, and while it seems from the tags as though I should rectify that I don't have time to do so right now.)
  • Outcast - Rosemary Sutcliff - Centurion headed to Dacia (Outcast) - is this a particular identifiable character within the narrative, or just a type of character? (If the latter, I think an "Original" in front might be warranted.)

Fandoms that will not currently be approved

John Wick (Movies) has been nominated with a slate consisting entirely of canonical character and relationship tags. Please see here for details of how worldbuildingex tags are structured - it is somewhat different from most other exchanges.

The Sixth World - Rebecca Roanhorse has no worldbuilding tags nominated. Please add one or more tags (starting "WB: " and using the relationship field) for worldbuilding elements you would like to see explored in fanworks - these can be as broad or as specific as you like.

Beyond these, there are a significant number of fandoms in tag set which do not have the two "default" character tags of "Any or No Character (Fandom)" and "Original Character(s) (Fandom)" nominated. These fandoms will not be approved until these two tags are added (if you are not the original nominator, but want to see these fandoms in the tag set, feel free to nominate them using any spare fandom slots you have).

Since I cannot currently see all of the remaining tags to be approved at once, I cannot be certain that the below is a complete list, but fandoms falling into this category include:

  • DC's Legends of Tomorrow (TV)
  • The Godwhale (TJ Bass)
  • Serial Experiments Lain
  • Silicon Valley (TV)
  • Star Trek: The Original Series, Star Trek: The Next Generation AND Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
  • Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
  • Steven Universe (Cartoon)
  • Veep (TV)


Please double check your tags!

Several of the fandoms that haven't yet been approved but are not mentioned above have missing or inconsistent disambiguations, or slight formatting variations (eg there seems to be at least one nominator using "None or Any Characters" instead of "Any or No Characters", and another prefacing worldbuilding tags with "DW: " instead of "WB: "). These are all things that I can (and eventually will) fix, but doing so slows down the rate of approvals even further - if you can assist by modifying them on your end that would be greatly appreciated.

ETA: Harry Potter

Something strange has happened to Harry Potter. I approved "Harry Potter - Books 1-7" and for some reason this seems to have brought "Harry Potter - J K Rowling" into "Already Approved Fandoms", even though it does not appear on the tag set, either the publicly visible version or the back end. I do not currently intend to approve "Harry Potter - J K Rowling" and I am now not at all certain that I would be able to do so even if I did. I do not think that this will have an impact on other Harry Potter tags nominated under other fandom names, but please be alert for possible weirdness and let me know if you spot anything.
