Nominations Guidelines - Winter 2021/2022 Round

[littlefics]

Nominations are now open for the Winter 2021/2022 round of Seasons of Drabbles!

Guidelines

• The tagset is here. Nominations will remain open until signups close on January 16.

• You may nominate up to 10 fandoms with up to 10 characters each.

• The tagset will be re-used through the end of 2022. Nominations will be wiped ahead of each new round to allow you to nominate new fandoms/characters for that round. If your fandom existed prior to September 2021, please check the tagset before nominating, as the fandoms/characters you want may already be there.

• All character nominations should be disambiguated, for example: Steve Rogers (Captain America (Movies)). Characters may be nominated in any/every fandom in which they appear.

• With some exceptions, both umbrella fandoms and sub-fandoms are allowed. For instance, you may nominate under Marvel Cinematic Universe or Star Wars - All Media Types. You may also nominate under sub-fandoms such as Thor (Movies) or Star Wars Original Trilogy. (Please remember that if you request Any for an umbrella fandom, you will be requesting any character who appears in any of the fandoms below the umbrella - NOT just characters in the tagset. So if you plan to request Any, you may want to request under a specific sub-fandom rather than the umbrella.) Please check the fandom notes section for exceptions prior to nominating!

• RPF is allowed. Nominated RPF characters must be famous in their own right, and must be 18+ for modern RPF.

• Crossovers are allowed. Crossover fandoms should be nominated as Fandom A/Fandom B. Character nominations for crossovers should be nominated as Character's Name (Fandom A/Fandom B). For example, if nominating Luke Skywalker for a Narnia/Star Wars crossover, the fandom would be nominated as Chronicles of Narnia/Star Wars, while the character would be nominated as Luke Skywalker (Narnia/Star Wars).

• Recursive fandoms are allowed. The required format is Recursive: Fic/Series title - Creator. Recursive fandoms may be nominated under two circumstances: 1. the creator has posted a blanket permission statement, 2. you are the creator. In either case, please contact us when nominating so that we have the pertinent permissions. Characters nominated under recursive fandoms should be disambiguated with the title of the recursive fandom.

• Since we will be re-using the tagset all year, recursive fandoms will be removed on an as-needed basis between rounds (only if a blanket permission statement comes down, or the creator asks for it to be removed).

• Original Works are allowed. When nominating characters, please disambiguate with (Original Work). If an original character's gender is important to you, please specify it in your nomination.

• Original characters may also be nominated in existing fandoms. When nominating an original character within an existing fandom, please disambiguate with the name of the fandom. If an original character's gender is important to you, please specify it in your nomination.

Objects/concepts/etc may be nominated in the character slot for any canon in which they appear. For Original Works, you can make some up if you would like.


Fandom notes:

• Do not nominate The Avengers (Marvel Movies). Any MCU character who appears only in The Avengers movies should be nominated under Marvel Cinematic Universe.

• For Disney's What If...?, characters should include the season/episode number in the disambiguation. E.g. if nominating Peggy from the first episode of s1, the character tag should be Peggy Carter (What If s1e1). Characters may be nominated for any episode in which that specific version of the character appeared.

• There may be other special cases we are currently unaware of. If your fandom requires unique consideration, please reply to this post to let us know. Additionally, please keep an eye on the dreamwidth community, as we are likely to post clarification requests as nominations come in.

Re: Creator's Choice of Fandom

Sure thing! Please feel free to nominate it. Thanks for the question, and we're glad you're excited for this new round. :)

Hi, I submitted a couple of nominations that appear to have been conflated together, under Grimm (TV): Kelly Burkhart and Kelly Burkhart-Schade were both approved as Kelly Burkhardt-Schade. But they are indeed supposed to be two separate characters: Nick Burkhardt's mother and his infant son.

[littlefics]

Thanks for the heads-up! When I googled this, the wiki said either name could be used for the son, so I figured it was two disparate nominators using slightly different names for the same character. I've added the mother character back as "Kelly Burkhart (Nick's mother) (Grimm (TV))" :)

[jedibuttercup]

Thanks! Yeah, in the show they only call him Kelly, but since his mother's Adalind Schade, the hyphenation was a handy way to disambiguate him from Nick's mom, who was there in prior seasons. I suppose now that the fandom's closed and aging "Kelly Kessler Burkhardt" might be a clearer way for me to nominate her in future. :)

Dunno if this is helpful now, but looking at the tagset (to decide what to nominate), I noticed:

1) Witcher TV has duplicates for Geralt, Jaskier, and Yennefer, each with slightly different disambiguations

2) Brittania (TV 2017) and its characters are all in Uncategorized Fandoms because the nominator misspelled it - Britannia (TV 2017) is the canonical fandom, though most of the nominated characters aren't canonical. (Antedia, Aulus Plautius, Lucius Validus, and Kerra are canonical; the single-named characters have the disambig (Britannia TV)

[littlefics]

Thank you, that's very helpful! Both should be sorted now.

There are duplicates in 9-1-1 (TV):

Harry Grant (9-1-1 TV)
Harry Grant (9-1-1)

May Grant (9-1-1 TV)
May Grant (9-1-1)

Michael Grant (9-1-1 TV)
Michael Grant (9-1-1)

Thanks! These should be fixed. :)
