The Yuletide 2012 Tag Set is now open for public review! This is the full list of fandom and character tags that will be available for Yuletide 2012, barring any changes made during the review period, which will last through October 14th at 9:00 pm Eastern US time. If we stop receiving reports, I'll go ahead and open signups early, although they'

Spotted three plays under Books & Literature instead of Theater:

Custard Boys - John Rae and Glenn Chandler (which should be The Custard Boys - John Rae and Glenn Chandler)

'Tis Pity She's a Whore - John Ford

Being Friends - Robert Holman

Good luck - such a huge job!

All fixed. Thanks for letting us know.

[oxoniensis]

That was fast! Thank you! ♥

I nominated June for RocknRolla (2008), but when it was approved it was changed to "June (RocknRolla)", and that's what's in the tag set under RocknRolla. Could it still be my June that you're trying to place?

[elynross]

It *might* be, although when we make the change during review, it *should* just replace the original. But there are gremlins!!! So, I'll leave it for now, in case it isn't "your" June (hee!), but keep this in mind. If nobody else speaks up, I'll delete her. Poor June.

So in terms of duplicate characters/fandoms is it okay then that the same characters appear in the umbrella listing as in the more specific one? Because Crusade characters appear in the Babylon 5 list even though there is a separate Crusade fandom listed, and that happens in Spartacus groupings as well.

If that's okay, then no problem, it just seems very duplicative when they are really the same 'verse.

[elynross]

In general, it's okay, given how we're handling fandoms, but in these cases I've merged the Spartacus series, as they really are a single series, and split out the B5/Crusade chars. Thanks!

I nominated Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, characters: Bruce Banner, Clint Barton and Hulk. And I can see that apparently Hulk didn't make the cut, and I kind of wonder why? I know that in most variations of Marvel, he'd be covered under Bruce Banner, but in A:EMH, they are very much distinct individuals - sharing a body, yes, but certainly not the same character. Is there any chance of getting Hulk on the list as a distinct character? Please?

[tamarind_rogue]

Seconding this - I actually am kind of sad by how little Bruce is in EMH, because I love Bruce but am not as fond of Hulk. They're definitely different characters in this medium anyway.

[themistoklis]

I didn't know EMH was being nominated but I'd offer this fandom, I think. And Hulk and Bruce are definitely different -- shown by Hulk only "letting Bruce out" on certain days, and the two of them occasionally talking to each other.

[elynross]

Split personalities are treated as a single character entry, for YT purposes, and Banner/Hulk have been treated as pretty separate people in all the incarnations. You can specify in the optional details that you're primarily interested in Hulk, though.

ETA: Reading the other commentaries, I can rename the character to "Hulk | Bruce Banner", giving Hulk the prominent role. But the "letting him out" aspect, that's appeared in the comics, too, particularly with Gray Hulk, and ultimately they are in the same body, only one in play at a time, so... It's kind of the exception to our "no collective characters as a single char" guideline.

Sure enough: "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams" (and I'm delighted that that's the nomination, instead of the unqualified "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy" that appeared yesterday; I wouldn't have minded if "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy (2005)" had also been nominated as long as the books were in; but anyway) has Marvin the Paranoid Android nominated twice, once with the name of the fandom (since it wouldn't let me include him without it) and once without.

[elynross]

Argh, I know I fixed that once -- but it should be fixed again soon!
