We are about halfway through the nomination period. So here is a mini update on a few things and the statuses of some nominations.
The following fandoms I am waiting until the end of nominations to accept:
Hawkeye (Comics)
Marvel (Comics)
The Flash (TV 2014)
The Hobbit - All Media Types
The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
The Silmarillion and other histories of Middle-Earth - J. R. R. Tolkien
The Transformers (IDW Generation One)
X-Men: Days of Future Past (2014)
All of these I want to see what happens with other related fandoms. As they stand if nothing changes all but Marvel and Hawkeye will be nominated with the fandoms being unchanged. I’d like to fold the Hawkeye comics nominations under Marvel comics if that is okay with the nominator.
The following fandoms will be rejected unless the nominator puts the name in the requested format:
サムライフラメンコ | Samurai Flamenco
The following nominations I have questions about:
group: Bobbi Brown & Skye - Is this another name for Bobbi Morse?
Souryuu Asuka Langley - Can I combine this with Shikiname Asuka Langley?
group: Luke Cage/Danny Rand (616) - Are they both 616?
group: Red Skull/Steve Rogers (616) - Are they both 616?
Now, when it comes to group nominations they are only meant to do two things A) make things easier on the people that like both OR and AND B) prevent people who are only interested in platonic/romantic being stuck with the other type. If a character couldn’t be nominated under a particular fandom on their own they won’t be accepted as part of a group.
The following nominations will be rejected for characters not being from the fandom:
group: Dorian Pavus/Fenris (under Dragon Age: Inquisition)
group: Fenris/Solas (under Dragon Age: Inquisition)
group: Clint Barton/Bobbi Morse (under MCU) - Yes, I know Agents of Shield is part of the MCU, but I’d rather keep the shows separate from the movies.
group: Chakotay(VOY)/Tom Paris (VOY)/Mirror Julian Bashir (DS9) (under Star Trek: Voyager)
The following groups need to be put in the requested format:
Bofur/Kíli (Hobbit - AMT)
Maglor/Gildor (Silmarillion)
There was a nomination for Captain America (Movies). I plan to fold it into MCU.
