Nominations Clarification 3 & Late Nominations

[genfreeformmod]

Hello! I have a couple nomination clarification notes:

• Ace Attorney — The fandom "大逆転裁判 | Dai Gyakuten Saiban | The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (Video Games)" is already in the tagset (and there are a couple more relationship noms lingering in the tagset interface) but I also have relationship nominations for the fandom "逆転裁判 | Gyakuten Saiban | Ace Attorney" which...I guess includes the Professor Layton crossover? I would like to hear from nominators of both fandoms about if we really need two separate fandoms or if they can be merged and, if so, which fandom tag should be kept.
• Star Wars - that's not how the Force works! — I can't accept this tag because it's too vague/confusing. Do you want a work that explores how the Force works/elaborates on canon worldbuilding? Do you want a work that deliberately disregards canon worldbuilding? Please let me know!
I got an answer about this on Discord and the fandoms have been accepted separately! The DGS nominator who nominated Barok & Iris & Sholmes and Iris & Ryunosuke & Sholmes & Susato will have to provide those tags as correctly formatted tags using the character's full names as late nominations to get them into the tagset, however.
• Kino no Tabi | Kino's Journey - All Media Types — I miscommunicated with someone who was helping me with the tagset and this was accidentally accepted. I feel like removing it without hearing from you might mess with your sign up plans, so I guess it's in now! However, if there are Kino no Tabi adaptations/related fandoms that you don't want, please use the late nominations process to nominate a more specific fandom.

Late nominations

This exchange doesn't allow the use of the "any" ticky box during sign ups, so we can keep adding to the tagset if you realize you forgot something! I have to add tags manually, so please only ask for tags you're going to use on your requests and please format them for me in the manner described below. You can comment below or email me!

Freeforms

• Basic format: Freeform, freeform, freeform
• Example: Friendship, Exciting People You Meet In Prison, MDZS/CQL - Sunshot Campaign
• Special Notes: Check that your longer freeforms aren't more than 100 characters, because the interface will let me add them but won't let you use them to sign up!

Relationships

• Basic format: Fandom, Relationship (Disambiguation), Relationship (Disambiguation),Relationship (Disambiguation)
• Example: Critical Role (Web Series), Fresh Cut Grass & Ishir (Critical Role), Solo: Kiri (Critical Role), Group: Animals of the Mighty Nein (Critical Role)
• Special Notes: Check that your longer relationships aren't more than 100 characters, because the interface will let me add them but won't let you use them to sign up! Also, if you need tags for more than one fandom, put them on separate lines rather than mixing them all up together — I'm asking for them in the format above because that's how they have to be formatted to use the batch load tagset page.

Sign ups will open later today!

Could I add Crossing Jordan (TV), Jordan Cavanaugh & Garret Macy, and Thief (Video Game Original Series), Artemus & Garrett, Constantine & Garrett & Victoria?

Thank you sm--I opened up my laptop this morning and realized I never submitted these, because I have the attention span of a goldfish some days.

These tags are in the tagset! However, please read the instructions more carefully in the future. The format I needed these tags in was this:

Crossing Jordan (TV), Jordan Cavanaugh & Garret Macy (Crossing Jordan)
Thief (Video Game Original Series), Artemus & Garrett (Thief VG), Constantine & Garrett & Victoria (Thief VG)

I'm telling you this not to scold you, but because this is a common mistake that participants might not realize is a mistake unless they're told. What you probably don't know is that disambiguations (the part where the fandom is in the relationship tag in parenthesis) are important because they stop tags from wandering into the wrong fandom and let us know what fandom the tag belongs to if the tag falls out of its associated fandom. Correcting tags with missing disambiguations is absolutely the most labor intensive part of any exchange, so it really helps when participants add them for us!

In regards to needing each fandom on its own line, I asked for it that way because then I can copy/paste your nominations straight to the batch load tagset page without any silly mistakes on my part — for example, when copying your tags I almost added "Constantine & Garrett & Victoria? (Thief VG)" to the tagset, whoops — and although you'll run into late tagset additions like this a lot less than needing to disambiguate, it will still help out the next mod down the line if you do it.

Sorry for the mini tagset lecture and let me know if you've remembered more tags!

Sorry about that. I noticed that it wasn't right a few days ago, but sign-ups had opened so I figured it was too late anyway. Thanks for understanding!
