Space Swap Nominations Closed

  • Dec. 10th, 2013 at 11:55 PM
Hello, Space Fans!

It's past midnight in EST-land, which means nominations are now officially closed. We have 101 fandoms, and a whole lot of characters.

We've gone through and approved the nominations. We approved all of the fandoms nominated except for two:

* The Matrix (Movies)
* Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magika | Puella Magi Madoka Magica

We can't seem to find a space connection with these two fandoms. However, if the nominators (or other interested parties) want to explain how space fits in, please leave a comment! We're holding off rejecting them to give you a chance to talk to us. If we haven't heard from anyone by December 29th (the end of the dispute period), then they will be rejected.

We approved all characters in approved fandoms, except in the case of duplicate nominations. If your character was rejected, that's why.

You can see the whole tag set here.

Please take a look and tell us if we've missed anything (i.e., duplicate characters, etc.). Please note that some fandoms are uncategorized, so if it's not in the correct category, take a look in the uncategorized section.

I also have a question for the Doctor Who fans. We currently have Doctor Who in there three times: Old Who, New Who, and a general category that includes both. Would you like to leave it that way, or would you like us to keep the divide between Old and New? The current set-up means you'll be able to request and offer Old, New, or the joint category, but it also means that if you request the joint, you won't be matched with someone who only offered Old or New. If you have an opinion on keeping it this way vs. changing it, please leave a comment here.

Disputes close on December 29th, and sign-ups open on January 4th!

Sorry, I meant there was no way I was going to eliminate those categories. I might have collapsed new and old into one, but not Fatal Death and the audio. If I had collapsed new and old, I would have taken out Fatal Death and the audio to increase the chances of someone offering 'any' for the general Doctor Who (non-parody) TV category. Since it looks like new and old are going to remain separate categories as well, I'm inclined to leave it as is for the sake of people who may have been hoping to combine them in an unofficial crossover. Unless you have a reason you think I should separate them out?

Tags don't just appear under the fandom they were nominated for. They automatically appear in every fandom in the tagset that they are wrangled into by ao3. Because of that the curse of fatal death characters and at least one audio drama character are automatically in the main Doctor Who set.

Gotcha. The first time running an exchange on AO3 is a learning experience, isn't it?

In that case, I guess things will have to stay the way they are, unless people say they want to completely eliminate the non-specific Doctor Who category.
