Nominations are now closed

[worldbuildingmod]

There will be a short grace period: if you really were just about to hit Submit, honest, comment on this post within the next fifteen minutes with the details, and I'll add your noms manually. (Please don't rely on email for this, it seems to be having a flaky moment.) Time's up!

After that the only modifications made will be corrections. Please do take one last look in case there's anything I've missed. (I should pick up any missing "No Characters" and "Original Character(s)" tags when I make the spreadsheet later, but if I haven't spotted spelling mistakes and other similar things already, I'm unlikely to suddenly notice them now.)

Fingers crossed for sign ups opening within the next 12-24 hours.

I was just about to correct two of my character nominations for Fairune (Video Game), since I realized they had been given proper names in the game's bestiary. Could you please change "The Maker (Fairune)" to "Morphoglia (Fairune)" and "The Layla Born In Fairune (Fairune)" to "This Layla (Fairune)"?

...and now that I'm looking at my noms again, I see that I accidentally placed "Worldbuilding: Regions of Fairune (Fairune)" as a character tag. -_- I actually don't have any relationship slots left... Could you replace "Worldbuilding: Underground (Fairune)" (also my nom)? If not, then go ahead and remove the Regions tag from the tag set. Sorry for the trouble.

[worldbuildingmod]

OK, done all those. I'll give you a freebie and just add the Regions instead of replacing Underground, though I've had to give it a slightly different name to avoid the issue that cropped up a little while ago (I went for "the Regions of Fairune", hope that's OK). And thanks for reminding me to check that no more worldbuilding tags had snuck into Characters!

PS I'm assuming there's a distinction between "Layla (Fairune)" and "This Layla (Fairune)", but please tell me if I'm wrong.

Thank you so much!

Yes, "Layla" and "This Layla" are distinct characters. :)

I'm assuming the Redwall glitch can be fixed, whatever it is? Or will it not impact signups?

[worldbuildingmod]

I don't know when it duplicated itself! Very odd, will have to investigate further.

[morbane]

It seems to be mostly a display glitch to me, but it's super weird.

[worldbuildingmod]

On the sign up form (that only I can see atm), it only comes up once in the drop down box. I'm cautiously optimistic that it is just a display glitch rather than anything more sinister.

[worldbuildingmod]

Definitely a display thing, I think. On the editing tab for the tag set, whichever of the two checkboxes for it I click on, the first one gets the tick.

[sirvalkyrie]

The glitch is an easy fix. Just delete the fandom from the tagset and then readd it.

[worldbuildingmod]

I was contemplating trying that, but I didn't like the idea of potentially not being able to get it back. Will give it a try. (As well as your reassurance, I have the entire tag set copied into a spreadsheet now, which makes me feel slightly less worried about playing with it.)

[worldbuildingmod]

It worked, yay, thank you! :D

[sirvalkyrie]

Welcome!

In Paksenarrion Series - Elizabeth Moon, the tag "Worldbuilding: Diplomatic Conact Between the 8 KIngdoms (Paksenarrion Series)", should be "Worldbuilding: Diplomatic Contact Between the 8 Kingdoms (Paksenarrion Series)". Sorry for not noticing the error when nomming it!

Edited to add: Also found a duplicate:
Weasley Squib Who Works As An Accountant (Harry Potter books only)
Weasley Squib Who Works As An Accountant (Harry Potter books)

[worldbuildingmod]

Good spots, thanks!

(It's entirely possible I introduced the typo if I fiddled with the disambiguation or something.)

[the_wavesinger]

There's a duplicate in Harry Potter - Books Only:
Arabella Figg (Harry Potter books only)
Arabella Figg (Harry Potter books)

[worldbuildingmod]

Thanks! Harry Potter books and the two Pokemon fandoms are going to get special attention above and beyond general cleanup, I think.

(Obviously if corrections like this are not made, the tags will still *work*. I'm looking for more serious errors, like duplicated tags or a lack of OC/NoC tags, but not seeing any yet, happily.)

[worldbuildingmod]

I think I'm going to fix actual errors like the ones you're finding (thank you!), but leave things like occasional inconsistent disambiguations alone, for the sake of my sanity.

Just spotted Mad Max is missing No and Original Chars! (Chrono Trigger was missing one of the two, can't remember which; I am hoping I don't miss any as I work down making the spreadsheet.)

Bungou Stray Dogs doesn't seem to have Original Character(s) (Bungou Stray Dogs) in it.

[morbane]

I see that Marvel (Comics) includes:

Maria Hill (MCU)
Scott Summers (X-Men Movieverse)
Tony Stark (MCU)

Are they meant to be there or have they wandered?

[morbane]

I'm also not sure about Akela Amador and Claire Temple in the MCU category. Is this meant to cover Marvel movies only, or TV shows as well? Akela Amador has only appeared in the Agents of SHIELD TV series, though this is in continuity with the movies; Claire Temple has appeared mostly in Daredevil and I think in others, but not in the movies.

[worldbuildingmod]

I accepted those noms on the principles of "everything in the same continuity shares the same worldbuilding" and "nominators know best what they're aiming at". Looking at the whole slate of noms they were part of it and the worldbuilding tags that went with them, it seemed pretty clear that the intention was to examine links between various female characters who don't often get the spotlight in canon.

[worldbuildingmod]

Noooooooooo!

(Yes, they have wandered. DAMMIT. It was all going so well.)

[morbane]

Whoops, yes, I should have checked MCU & X-Men first. As something cannot appear in two places, if it is, then ipso facto it must have wandered.

And cool re: MCU - just checking.

NASA "Mars Explorers Wanted" posters are in Other Media
NASA Visions of the Future travel posters are in Uncategorized Fandoms

[worldbuildingmod]

Neither of those are things I can do anything about, I'm afraid; where fandoms are categorized is down to the AO3 tag wranglers.
