just wondering if we're going to have a date soon for the spring round since it's about the end of april? Thanks!

[littlefics]

Unscreening so you can see—I apologize about the spring round not happening, and for the lack of communication. I (the current mod) took an unexpected hiatus from fandom as a whole for several months. The summer round is in the works, and more information will be coming shortly once I've found a new co-mod, as the previous co-mod had to step down due to time conflicts.

If my submission says “unapproved” does that mean it just hasn’t been reviewed and approved yet, or that there’s an issue with it?

[littlefics]

It means it hasn't been reviewed yet. We will reach out via email if there is an issue.

I submitted nominations about a day ago and they haven't been approved. I think I did them correctly. Are nominations closed now?

[littlefics]

Hi, we've just done a round of approvals! Let us know if yours are still not through.

Hi, I'm having trouble attaching characters to my request. I've selected a fandom and only one character seems to be available for selection, even though I see many more in the tagset.

[littlefics]

Hi, if you copy-paste the tag exactly from the tagset and put it in your request, are you able to request it? There is an AO3 bug where sometimes tags don't show up in the drop-down.

If that still doesn't work, please let us know what the error says and the exact fandom and character tags, and we'll see if we can fix it.

Thanks!

Hi! Thanks for running this again. For this round, are Compilation of FFVII and FFVII Remake considered the same fandom, or can they be separate?

Tagset duplicates

[(Anonymous)]

Hi! No need to reply. I just noticed some tagset duplicates and was hoping this would help save you some cleanup time.

The fandom is Anime > Mr. Villain's Day Off (Webcomic)

Akatsuki Red (Mr. Villain Webcomic)
Akatsuki Red (Mr. Villain's Day Off)
Rooney (Mr. Villain Webcomic)
Rooney (Mr. Villain's Day Off)
Shinonome Pink (Mr. Villain Webcomic)
Shinonome Pink (Mr. Villain's Day Off)
Souten Blue (Mr. Villain Webcomic)
Souten Blue (Mr. Villain's Day Off)
Shogun (Mr. Villain Webcomic)
Shogun (Mr. Villain's Day Off)
C018 (Mr. Villain Webcomic)
C018 (Mr. Villain's Day Off)

The Mr. Villain anime was also nominated using "Mr. Villain's Day Off" as the disambiguation, so I recommend keeping the webcomic-specific versions here :)

Nominations

[(Anonymous)]

I made noms on Monday under the ao3 username Oz_Writes and they haven’t been approved yet. I remembered to disambiguated them all, and my friends said I should reach out since it has taken longer than usual for my noms to be approved. Thanks!

Re: Nominations

[littlefics]

Hello! Unscreening your comment so you can see our response. There's just been a round of approvals, so they should be through now. Apologies for the delay, and thanks for checking!

As a sidenote, on the mods' end we can't see who nominated what (it's all anonymous and combined together), so if you would like us to check your specific noms, you can link us the URL from the "My Nominations" page.

Unapproved noms

Oz_Writes again…
My friend told me noms are anonymous, so my noms were…

Yanqing (Honkai: Star Rail)
Misha (Honkai: Star Rail)
Arlan (Honkai: Star Rail)
Himeko (Honkai: Star Rail)
Firefly (Honkai: Star Rail)

Re: Unapproved noms

[littlefics]

Thanks! I can confirm that those should all be in the tagset now. Let us know if you have any issues signing up with them.

Hi, can we nominate a fandom tag that does not exist yet on AO3?

Re: Tags Nomination

[littlefics]

Unscreening so you can see the response.

Yes, you may!

Ao3 request glitch?

[(Anonymous)]

Hello lovely mods! I am in the process of signing up and have been able to hit the "add request" button beyond 10, even though it says "up to 10 requests" on the button!

I've deleted my extra requests, so this is just a heads-up for you.

Re: Ao3 request glitch?

[littlefics]

Hello, unscreening so you can see our response. Were you able to save or submit the signup when it had more than 10 requests? On our end it seems AO3 doesn't permit participants to actually submit a signup like that, even if you do hit the "add request" button past 10.

I'm not on the PH list but seem to have no gift. Does my writer have an extension, perhaps?

[littlefics]

Unscreening so you can see the response: could you leave a comment here or email us with your AO3 username so we can double-check this?
