I'm not the person who nominated Birds of Prey, but I remember seeing it mentioned on the Evidence Post with regards to the nomination of Oracle: http://yuletide-admin.livejournal.com/188088.html?thread=7980984#t7980984

I see! Thank you, I'm not sure why we missed that.

[kultiras]

Glad I could help a bit! =)

Thanks, kultiras!!!

My sister nominated John Tracy (Thunderbirds Are Go (2015)), or is this maybe a different John Tracy nomination? I think her AO3 name is River something.

[morbane]

That would definitely be different. (Thank you to your sister for helpfully disambiguating.) There were at least four different Thunderbirds nominations, with different labels.

We can't actually see the AO3 pseuds attached to nominations.

Not the one who nominated Epic Rap Battles of History but about Clyde Tombaugh: this is the real person's Wikipedia page. Given what I know about the series, seems the requester wants to create a new battle.

[morbane]

Indeed, and if that's all, they wouldn't be eligible, but we were hoping we'd missed something where the characters/planet have already appeared.

I nominated The Exeter Book, and I'm pretty sure that through the haze of my excitement at nominating such a thing, I meant for the works themselves to be the characters, or something similar. In which case, I should have put down 'The Wife's Lament'. My bad, I am terribly sorry.

[morbane]

Okay! The Wife's Lament it is. (and phew, that seemed rather easier than the alternative.)

For Dracula (TV): Should just be Mina Murray, she's not married to Jonathan Harker yet in the time the show takes place (though they are engaged for part of it).

We're just copying what was entered in the form - your suggested name change makes sense. But could you please say which TV series you mean?

[graycardinal]

Not the nominator, but I think this has to be the 2013-2014 NBC series for three reasons:

(1) Wikipedia doesn't indicate the existence of any other TV series titled simply Dracula.

(2) None of the other live-action Dracula-related series Wikipedia does list appear to feature both Lucy and Mina as characters under these names.

(3) If these are the only two characters listed, I think it's really likely that they've been nominated because Lucy in this series is explicitly described as (a) bisexual and (b) attracted to Mina. This characterization is unique to the 2013 series.

[morbane]

Thanks for looking into this. Your reasoning makes sense. I hope the nominator confirms.
