Nominations Clarification #3

  • Feb. 6th, 2018 at 2:02 PM
The final 24h stretch! After nominations close, we'll look for any typo'd Characte:s, Realtionship, and the like. ETA: All resolved! <3

Star Trek - Various Authors
This fandom is not acceptable in its current scope. Please split into series instead. Note that the tag used doesn't have to be canonical on AO3.

Star Wars Legends: X-wing Series - Aaron Allston & Michael Stackpole
Is it acceptable to merge this with the Star Wars Legends: X-wing Series - All Media Types tag we seem to have already?

Star Wars Legends - All Media Types
The nominator(s) of Relationship: Exar Kun/Ulic Qel-Droma and Relationship: Jagged Fel/Jaina Solo/Zekk may suggest migrating the tags to beneath a new, different fandom tag, for ease of offering. (As a reminder, to offer a fandom, one must be able to offer two tags in it – or all of them. People might be able to write about Exar Kun/Ulic Qel-Droma, but not any of the Thrawn stuff, leading them unable to offer it.)

I guess Relationship: Exar Kun/Ulic Qel-Droma could go under "Star Wars Legends: Tales of the Jedi"? I could also always nominate a second relevant tag under general legends if you think offering is an issue, though I doubt anyone but me is requesting/offering it in any case. (But I live in hope.)

Relationship: Jagged Fel/Jaina Solo/Zekk is trickier since the three of them show up in various series (New Jedi Order, Dark Nest, Legacy of the Force, Fate of the Jedi), not all of which I've read, so idk where exactly I'd put them.

I nommed "Star Wars Legends: X-wing Series - All Media Types" since for whatever reason ao3 doesn't have a tag for the comics, and the books and comics include a lot of the same characters anyway. I've included a mix of novel and comic characters already, so coming from that direction I don't have an issue with merging, though of course it depends on what the other person wants.

I am cool with going AMT on the X-Wing.

Not the nominator, but I think "Star Trek - Various Authors" is referred to Star Trek novels, so IMHO the nominations shouldn't get nominated with the series or movies at all. Many characters from the novels are exclusive novel characters, and happenings and backgrounds can be really different and not overlapping with the TV or Theater versions.

Yeah, 'Various Authors' means anything from the published novels, and it's often characters who weren't on any of the shows.

I would agree with this. There are characters in the novels that really can't be slotted into one of the series, especially since many of the novels span series.

We're looking more for the characters and such to be split up into "Star Trek Novel Series A - Authorname", "Star Trek Novel Series B - Authorname", etc, not forced into the TV shows.

I'm the nominator of the Novels one. I can shoehorn most of them into 1 of 3 "series" either Diane Duane Rihannsu novels, Jean Lorrah novels, or DC Fontana novels...if all my noms are still editable.

ETA: I have nominated under Rihannsu Novels - Diane Duane and Vulcan's Glory - DC Fontana, and disposed of the X-Wing nominations. I'll just hold them until May the Fourth!
