Or: how do you want to subcategorize large franchises, so people can actually view and use the tagset without breaking out Excel.

All Media Types? Into subfandoms? By time period? By location?

Make a thread for your canon (unless there is one already), and then discuss in the subcomments.


The end result of the threads on the 31st at 1am X-ray (when nominations open) will be used to decide how nominations are approved.

Oops, I wasn't thinking this through. I doubt that the Defenders shows are eligible so nevermind that. What about the DC shows and movies? Are them all eligible, or are there any ineligible? Maybe Constantine, Vixen and Suicide Squad are the ones ineligible?

The eligibility goes by fandom, not franchise. If a movie or show contains space travel, it is eligible. If it's set wholly on Earth and no-one's origin stories involve space travel, it's ineligible. Sci-fi elements by themselves aren't enough. So, Legends of Tomorrow in, Wonder Woman not.

I gather from your answer that we should nominate all of them separately, no groupings, am I correct?

Yes, please nominate them separately by fandom.

The only eligible Arrowverse is Supergirl and maaaaaybe Legends of Tomorrow. (The show bothers with space very rarely but there have been 2 or 3 episodes set there.) idk but I don't think Supergirl and Lot require being grouped together?

Why maybe Legends of Tomorrow? They travel in space on more than one occasion, and they meet aliens from space in a couple of episodes too.

On Arrow and The Flash, while rarely the focus, they also fought aliens coming from space once or two, so I think they should be in too.

I'm all for Legends of Tomorrow being in and that seems to be the case. For Arrow/Flash, if aliens only show up once a year during the corporate crossover, it's really not a space canon imo. But that's for the mod to decide, anyway.
