Franchise Wrangling

  • Jan. 29th, 2021 at 8:56 PM
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 5 Feb at 19:00 am EET (when nominations open) will be used to decide how nominations are approved.

Star Wars
Please discuss how to split Star Wars into subfandoms in this thread.

The modly suggestion would be to at least separate out Legends, the new expanded universe, and the movies, plus a fandom for Star Wars internal crossovers (e.g. Leia Organa (SWOT)/Female Revan (KOTOR))

Star Wars Crossovers

Star Wars: Resistance (Cartoon)

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story (2016)
Solo: A Star Wars Story (2018)
Star Wars Original Trilogy
Star Wars Prequel Trilogy
Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
Star Wars: The Clone Wars (2008) - All Media Types
Star Wars: Rebels

Star Wars New EU - AMT

Star Wars Legends: The Old Republic (Video Game)
Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic (Video Games)
Star Wars Legends - All Media Types

Would a similar split be acceptable this year?

Star Trek
Star Trek - separate by series? And then the books by title/subject grouping as makes sense per situation? I'm not sure what is usually done about crossovers.

Re: Star Trek
I believe last year the consensus was

Star Trek: The Original Series
Star Trek: The Next Generation
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
Star Trek: Voyager
Star Trek: Enterprise
Star Trek: Discovery
Star Trek: Alternate Original Series
Star Trek: Picard

+ books by storyline (so e.g. the Rihannsu books would go under one fandom category), with standalones nominated on their own. As for franchise-internal crossovers, they'd be under the generic Crossover Fandom if none of the series fits. (If Crossover Fandom gets a huge slew of Star Trek internal crossovers, I'll ask the community about shifting those to a new Star Trek Crossovers fandom.)

Re: Star Trek
Storyline is what I meant by subject grouping but that's much clearer, lol. Sounds good! There's also Star Trek: Lower Decks if any fans of that come along.

Re: Star Trek
Noted! Lower Decks can be its own thing as well.

Hi, for MCU are all franchises under one umbrella, or will they be broke up (Thor, GOTG, etc.)?

Please break them up into whatever the sane subunits are.
