I am not the nominator, but I believe some characters from Sunless Sea have wandered into Fallen London | Echo Bazaar.

The characters in question are:
The Brisk Campaigner
The Sigil-Ridden Navigator
The Tireless Mechanic

These characters are Sunless Sea specific, and AFAIK do not appear in Fallen London.

Thank you! We'll see if we can pin them down to one.

Misspelling! Under fandom Drunk History RPF, the character "Mark Galgiardi (Drunk History RPF)", that last name should be Gagliardi

[morbane]

Got it - thanks!

Both "X -エックス- | X/1999" and "Tokyo Babylon" contain the "Sumeragi Hokuto" tag. She does appear in both but one of them should probably have disambiguating text.

[morbane]

Thanks! She was probably nominated in only one; we'll have to figure out which one that was.

(Edit: and checking spreadsheets, it looks like it was Tokyo Babylon.)

Dark Souls video games

Something's a bit odd with the Dark souls video games - I don't know the canon so I don't know how helpful this is, but you have 2 fandoms called "Dark Souls (Video Games)" and "Dark Souls III" and they have two characters in common with no disambiguation. I'd suggest either combining if they are one canon or adding disambiguations to "Dark Souls (Video Games)" and to the characters "Lothric Younger Prince" and "Darkmoon Knightess"

I'm one of the Dark Souls III nominators. Dark Souls III is a sequel to the original Dark Souls and they have a few characters in common, they take place a few centuries apart. In my experience most people use Dark Souls (Video Games) for the first game only and not as a franchise tag, but if thats' what it's meant to be, I'm okay with my noms being looped into it.

Either way Lothric Younger Prince only appears in Dark Souls III, if that makes a difference.

Re: Dark Souls video games

[morbane]

Thanks for adding information! We'll pin Lothric to Dark Souls III and I suspect Darkmoon Knightess should only be appearing in Dark Souls (Video Games).

Re: Dark Souls video games

[morbane]

Thanks for pointing that out! It looks like one character from each has wandered into the other. I don't think we'll combine them at this stage unless several participants would prefer that.

Hi! I nominated Presidential (Podcast) without characters. The podcast is a non-fiction series of US presidents' portraits. I was wondering why it was rejected?

The reason why I nominated the podcast and not, say, US Presidents RPF, is because on the podcast the host always asks what would it be like to go on a date with the subject of that week's episode. I wanted to request something where any/all president(s) (hence no characters) were suddenly going on blind dates and wondering what was going on. I feel that asking for US Presidents RPF and then springing that kind of request on a writer would be kind of mean!

Thanks for all your hard work and sorry to be creating more work for you this year with my wacky nomination ;)

[morbane]

I see! Thank you - we were very puzzled by this nomination. We will add it to the list for discussion.

Thank you!
