genfreeformmodSome or all of the nominations in the following fandoms were formatted with the prefix “Group:” – since we are using the Relationship slot for nominations, that prefix should not be used. All nominations that were formatted that way were changed to “Creator’s Choice of [x] Member(s)” and accepted. The affected fandoms:
Final Fantasy XV
Please use the full name of the characters when nominating. If we don’t hear from you with correctly formatted nominations, we will reject these tags.
Fire Emblem: Awakening
Are the pipings necessary? If no response, we will accept as-is
Severance (TV)
Helena Eagan & Helena Eagan - Googling has not shed light on whether or not there are two characters called Helena Eagan in this show or not. Are you looking for “Solo: Helena Eagan” or should we keep it as-is? If no response, we will change to “Solo: Helena Eagan” and accept.
Star Trek: Strange New Worlds
Is Dark Future a canon universe/version? If no response, we will accept as-is.
Hunger Games Series - All Media Types
We’d prefer not to accept an “All Media Types” fandom if possible. Is this the best fandom, or would the book series be better? If no response, we will accept as-is.
Sonic the Hedgehog - All Media Types
We’d prefer not to accept an “All Media Types” fandom if possible. Is this the best fandom, or would the game series be better? If no response, we will accept as-is.
The Last Of Us - All Media Types
We’d prefer not to accept an “All Media Types” fandom if possible. TLOU TV is already in the tagset; would your nominations work in that fandom? Or would you prefer the video games? Or is it important to keep this as AMT? If no response, we will accept under the TLOU TV fandom.
Some or all of the character and relationship nominations under the following fandoms were not disambiguated or contained tone marks. These nominations have been rejected. If the nominators wish to have those tags in the tagset, please leave a comment on this post with the correctly formatted nominations (in the form “Fandom,Relationship,Relationship,Relationship”) and the mod team will add your tags manually.
The affected fandoms:
Alternate Universe - Fortune Reversal - Does this refer to financial/monetary fortune, or luck? If we do not hear back, we will accept as-is.
Bargaining - Victim Offers/Sacrifices Self to Protect Others - I recognize this tag from Consent Issues and Nonconathon. Would “Character Offers/Sacrifices Self to Protect Others” work for you? The “victim” phrasing isn’t clear within a gen context. If we do not hear back, we will change “Victim” to “Character” and accept.
Burnout (emotional or job or other) - Would just “Burnout” work for you? If we do not hear back, we will delete the parenthetical and accept.
Constantly bickering “friends” realize that they genuinely do enjoy each other’s company - I’m not sure what the quotes around “friends” are supposed to convey. If we do not hear back, we will delete the quotes around “friends” and accept.
Dehumanization - Victim Considered Less Than Human Because of Who/What They Are - I recognize this tag from Consent Issues and Nonconathon. Would “Human Character Considered” etc. work for you? The “victim” phrasing isn’t clear within a gen context. If we do not hear back, we will change “Victim” to “Human Character” and accept.
Disapproving in-law slightly thawing - Could the nominator please rephrase to something that seems less centered on a relationship? Last year Learning to cope with unwelcome in-law was accepted, which seems more in the spirit of things. If we do not hear back, we will make that change and accept.
eldritch bestie - Could the nominator please explain what this tag is intended for? We are not sure what this means.
Ex-secret agent struggling to find purpose in normal society despite every1 telling them it's better - Could this be rephrased so there’s less abbreviation like “every1”? Perhaps something like “Ex-secret agent struggles to adjust to normal society despite others saying their life is better now”? If we do not hear back, we will make that change and accept.
Forehead Kisses - “Platonic Forehead Kisses” is already in the tagset. Does that work for you, or is there a broader nuance that requires the unmodified “Forehead Kisses” tag? If we do not hear back, we will change to “Platonic Forehead Kisses” and accept.
Girl Squad - Lady Friendships - What are you looking for from this tag? If you just want to make sure you receive F&F(&F, etc) relationships, you are welcome to request only relationship tags with women characters. If we do not hear back, we will reject this tag.
Magical Realism - Are you looking for the Latin American anticolonial genre, or something closer to “modern-with-magic”? If you’re looking for the second, there are already “Alternate Universe - Modern with Magic” and “Urban Fantasy” tags in the tagset. Would those get at what you’re looking for?
Ósanwe - Fandom-specific freeforms need the fandom in front (e.g. “Stargate - Atlantis Remains on Earth”). Should this say “Tolkien” at the beginning, or “Middle-Earth,” or something else? If we do not hear back, we will change it to “Tolkien - Ósanwe” and accept.
They have the same hair colour - This tag is unclear. Please let us know what exactly you’re looking for from this nomination. If we do not hear back, we will reject this tag.
Truth Curse (Character is forced to always to tell the truth) - Would this tag work as “Character cursed to always tell the truth” or similar? If we do not hear back, we will make that change and accept.
Truth Curse (Everything a character says becomes the truth) - Would this tag work as “Curse forces everything a character says to become the truth” or similar? If we do not hear back, we will make that change and accept.
Under Druess - I assume this was meant to be “Under Duress,” but what specifically are you looking for from this tag? A character being tortured? A friendship being put through the wringer? If we do not hear back, we will reject this tag.
Victim Considered Less Than Human Because of Who/What They Are - I recognize this tag from Consent Issues and Nonconathon. Would “Human Character Considered” etc. work for you? The “victim” phrasing isn’t clear within a gen context. If we do not hear back, we will change “Victim” to “Human Character” and accept.
We've Got Way Too Much In Common - I’m not sure how we’d be able to verify the inclusion of this tag. Could it be rephrased in a clearer way? If we do not hear back, we will reject this tag.
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!

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!
