If I find a nom that has an error in it, is this the right place to note it?

Elementary has Joan Watson
Sherlock has Mary Watson

But Mary was named in the Elementary nom - it's likely to confuse writers; it certainly did me.

I'm not a mod, but that's not an error - Mary Watson is the mother of Joan Watson in Elementary. The tag is specifically named for Elementary, too.

As much as I watch that show, that escaped me - thanks! (of course, I was watching Sherlock this week as well - that may have colored my memory ;>)

Aurora (Once Upon a Time) is coming up as ineligible on the nomination form. I get 255 works >1000 words on AO3, and 207 on FF.net. AO3 is way under the cutoff, and FF.net just barely over, but so borderline I feel she should probably still be eligible? (If necessary, I could probably go through and pull out seven fics that aren't actually about her, but I'd rather not unless I have to.)

Thank you!

Hi! The profile information for the parent collection Rarewomen still has the dates and discontinued fandom restrictions from 2012, so the 2014 subcollection has those in the profile as well.

Sign Up Summary not updating

I know you don't have much control over it, but the sign up summary is not updating.

It's working again now. Last updated: Tue 25 Feb 2014 07:39PM CST, which was less than an hour ago, so hopefully it is updating on the hour again :)

I'm going through the nominated characters and I've noticed at least two characters on there who don't belong: Xavin (under Runaways (Comics))), and Inukashi (under No. 6 - All Media Types). Neither of these characters have self-identified as women; they are frequently gendered as such by fandom, but in their respective canons they refuse to self-identify with a binary gender, and as the rules state, If the character actively refuses to self-identify with a gender, we will not arbitrarily assign them one. That character is ineligible.

Is it possible at this point to make these characters ineligible? As a non-binary person, it's honestly pretty upsetting to see two examples of the closest thing I have to non-binary representation gendered as women for a challenge.

My apologies for not seeing that Xavin had been discussed already - I'm usually more thorough in checking out previous discussion than that! Thank you for your reply.
