I have a nomination question! On Dark Matter, the canonical AO3 form of most of the characters' names are "piped" names (e.g. "Portia Lin | Two"). However, since we're not using the canonicals here, is it okay to just nominate them using the most common form of their name (e.g. "Character: Two") as long as it's unambiguous who is meant? It'll make the tags easier to read and for most of the characters there's no ambiguity; it's just that they use different names in canon.
Also, do you want the fandom name in parentheses (e.g. "Character: Two (Dark Matter)") for tag-associating, or just the character/ship/worldbuilding name by itself?
If it's obvious that Two would be the same person as Portia Lin, and there are no ambiguities, use "Character: Two (Dark Matter)" so there's no conflict should another fandom also have a character called just Two. Otherwise, piping.
