Nominations Clarification 2

[genfreeformmod]

\o/ So many good tags and only a few clarifications. New items are bolded.

Relationships Slot

Aizawa Shouta | Eraserhead & Class 1-A — As mentioned in clarification 1, is not a crossover relationship but is nominated in Crossover Fandom. Will be rejected soon if the nominator doesn't remove it.

Aphra Marsh & Yith!Catherine Trumbull (Innsmouth) — As mentioned in clarification 1, I'd like the nominator or someone else who knows the fandom (The Innsmouth Legacy - Ruthanna Emrys) to clarify if Yith!Catherine Trumbull is a separate character from regular Catherine Trumbull or if the bang path is being used here the way it would be used in genderbent!Catherine or ghost!Catherine.

Donna Noble (DW) & Creator's Choice of Atlantis expedition member(s) — Nominator I'm 95% sure you mean this to have (SGA) on the end like your other nomination but I feel like there's a chance you were thinking about some other Atlantis expedition so I don't want to fix it for you.

Creator's Choice of Azazel's Special Children (SPN) — Do you want "Solo: Creator's Choice of Azazel's Special Children (SPN)" or "Group: Creator's Choice of Azazel's Special Children (SPN)"? The former will give you a work focused on one of the special children, the later a work focused on two or more.

Freeforms

A Day in the Life of Solo Character — Nominator, I'd like to accept this as "A Day in the Life of Requested Character" unless 'Solo Character' has some meaning I'm not understanding?

Character thinks no one is coming to save them; EVERYONE teams up for the rescue. — Nominator, I went :DDD at this nomination because it smacks me right in the id, but from the perspective of a mod who might have to decide if a fic has adequately shown that "everyone" has teamed up for a rescue in a mere 1,500 words I'm a little unsure at accepting it, especially considering we're not allowing relationship tags like "Character A & Everyone" for pretty much the same reason. I mean, any claim that a work hasn't fulfilled a freeform will most likely involve a subjective mod judgement call and I definitely understand that this is hyperbolic, but if you can think of a slight rephrasing that still gets at what you want from the tag I would appreciate it. Maybe something like "multiple people" or "multiple unlikely fractions" or even something canon-specific? If you can think of something, please comment or email with a link to your noms page. If not, I will eventually accept as-is.

The Donna Noble & Atlantis expedition members nomination is indeed meant to be SGA, and it's been fixed now - sorry about that!

[genfreeformmod]

No problem!!! I was just like "oh no, what if they secretly meant Atlantis: the Lost Empire??" 😂

Hello! The SPN nom is mine. Since I can still edit it, I am pretty sure I'll put it in as Group: rather than Solo. Thanks for asking and clarifying, because one reason I did some noms last night and some this morning is I wasn't sure about use of Group: (in this exchange) or not!

I'll fix it shortly and send it back in!

[genfreeformmod]

You haven't change it yet so I've accepted it with "Group:" for you!

Hi, I'm sorry, this isn't part of this inquiries post but I wasn't sure where else to ask... I was doing nominations really late and made a typo in one of the tags and didn't realize until today when I saw it was accepted and now I can't edit it. Would it be possible for the mods to edit it to fix the typo?

"Friendship that's more important that Character(s)'s romantic relationship(s)" should be "than" not "that."

[genfreeformmod]

Hi! Yes, we'll fix typos and this is a perfect place to ask about it :) I'll switch that tag around. Thank you!

Hi, I'm the nominator for A Day in the Life of Solo Character. Sure, go ahead! That's exactly what I meant.

Btw, I have a question regarding matching. Is it possible for a matching to happen on a solo character but with a freeform that demands two characters? For example, character matching on Solo: character X, but the freeform match is on "Character A and Character B are forced to work together"? What would happen if such a case occur?

[genfreeformmod]

Thanks, we've accepted it!

About your matching question: Yes, it's possible for that kind of match to happen because the system can't tell any meaningful difference between the "Solo:" tags and the & tags. Plus, there's pinch hits and treats that don't rely on matching! All gifts need to match one tag from each category in one of the recipient's requests, so if a participant requests "Solo: Character X" and the freeform "Character A and Character B are forced to work together" in the same request, they could recieve a work that involves Character X being forced to work with another character of the creator's choice.

Both requests and offers will allow repeat fandoms, so the way for creators and recips to avoid that kind of thing is to make one offer/request with "Solo: Character X" + tags that work for solo characters and a second request with "Character Y & Character Z" + tags that work for relationships.

Noted, thanks!

A/B/O: platonic submission rituals and instincts

Hi, platonic got added to this tag and I think it changes my meaning a bit. The strange urge to dominate/submit to strangers and people you don't even like can be a big thing in a/b/o. Non-sexual could work okay?

[genfreeformmod]

Hi! Yes as discussed on Discord I swapped this out to non-sexual, sorry about that!
