Thanks for all of your corrections!

Some corrections require a bit more input. If you were the nominator, or are closely involved in the fandom, could you please comment on the following questions by 9pm UTC 30th Sept (When is this for me?):

Re the Inheritance Trilogy by N. K. Jemisin, I think I'd be the nominator for Shahar, and I meant the descendant. (I went with the existing AO3 tag, rather than trying to specify.)

[morbane]

Thanks! Any suggestions for what we might change the label to, to avoid anyone else being confused?

[kikibug13]

I am still trying to think of a good way. The comment below brings up two options and I'm kind of in favor of the second. (I was thinking of Shahar (Ancestor) and Shahar (Twin) but the descendant Shahar having no qualification makes sense since she's the one who actually appears as a character in the books, rather than a memory.)

Though if tag wranglers have specific preferences, I'd go with what works the easiest.

The trouble is if there's only one Shahar in the tagset and there's no qualifications, signups and matching could be confusing. I mean, I could request "Shahar Arameri" asking for priestess!Shahar/Itempas fic, and you could offer "Shahar Arameri" meaning the descendant, and then you'd be matched to me even though we were thinking of different characters.

I can't think of a good way to label her either though. Wikipedia sometimes calls her "Shahar Arameri the younger," maybe that? Or I'd vote for Shahar (Twin) too.

I meant Emily Davidson, thank you!

[morbane]

Much appreciated.

I can't believe it... I completely missed the nominations and tere are no fandoms (or characters) I want to write about or receive fic from.

I kinda want to cuss but I am at work.

[morbane]

I can only imagine how disappointing that is. I hope on closer inspection of the tag set you find some more things you love.

[floranna]

So do I... =(

D: Opportunity to discover a new fandom? Sorry, that really sucks.

Under Terminator, I nominated John and Kate and Enrique meaning the characters from the T2/T3/Salvation timeline. Sorry, I was thinking Genisys would be its own fandom, otherwise I would have disambiguated John! Wasn't thinking. I'd be happy with either adding disambiguation tags or separating them, as long as John and Kate wind up in the same category.

[morbane]

Thank you for the information! Huh, I thought Salvation was more its own thing than that; if we do go with disambiguation tags, do you have a suggestion as to what they might be? If splitting, do you have a preference as to where they should land? "Movies that are not Genisys" seems possible but a little awkward, though we can also check with the Salvation nominator.

[of_carabas]

Salvation's kind of in a weird grey area, because time-travel shenanigans. Kyle's the only character who'd need disambiguating for that, though.

If you go with splitting, maybe "original movie timeline" and "Genisys"? And Salvation if the nominator wants that one split out too. Either way, I'd prefer if my nominations for John, Kate, and Enrique are all under the original movie timeline.

If you go with disambiguation tags, then John, Sarah, and Kyle are the only characters who should need disambiguation. Would "John Connor (T2/T3/Salvation)" work?

And I don't know which versions of Sarah and Kyle were nominated, but it would be either Sarah Connor (T1/T2), Sarah Connor (Genisys), Kyle Reese (T1), Kyle Reese (Salvation), or Kyle Reese (Genisys).

[ardentaislinn]

Maybe "Original Timeline" and then "Genisys" to distinguish between the two?

Since you said people, just in case... I nom'd the Midnighter (New 52 Comics) run, do you need any more input from me? :)

[morbane]

Heh. Thank you, but no.
