Nominations discussion 2013

[aphrodite_mine]

(*whispers*: please read the info post before hopping in here!)There was some confusion last year with the designation of large and small-sized fandoms. This year, the answers should be a bit simpler! Fandom size does NOT matter, and aside from a little wiggle room, there are only two rules for nomination eligibility

Would Barbara Gordon be eligible? It looks like she has 604 complete works on the AO3, but she shows up in several of the rarewomen stories from last year. Although that could be because she was an optional detail from someone's request, or she had fewer stories last year? (Or do Batgirl-Babs and Oracle-Babs count separately, or something like that?)

I don't think the A03 tags differentiate which Barbara Gordon it is - so those 604 works could be the sum total of comics Barbaras, the various animated Barbaras, and live action Barbara.

I think you're right. So it might be possible to nominate, say, comics Barbara, even though there are more than 500 works for the sum total of all forms of Barbara? Although it looks like most of those works come from various comics incarnations (Birds of Prey, Batgirl, DCU, etc.).

Oh, cool!

I have another question--after nominations, when you pick your women to offer/request, do they all need to be from distinct fandoms, or does that not matter? Sorry, I feel like this was covered already in the main post, but I wasn't clear on the specifics.

Sorry, I think I phrased that unclearly. I wasn't wondering if their fandoms needed to be specified, I was wondering if we would need to choose 3-4 women from different fandoms, or just 3-4 different women, period.
