Fandom: The Room Series (2012 Video Game)
Possible Issue:The fandom you have nominated has a generic name that is extremely hard to google or can be confused with other fandoms, AND your fandom has no canonical fandom tag on AO3.
Evidence for Eligibility: I have checked the AO3 Fandom tags and there is no Video Game: The Room tag. It's an esoteric fandom, like Monument Valley. The game is produced by Fireproof Studios under the Fireproof Games umbrella. There are several characters in the series, including the player, and a lot of explorable ambiguity.

love these games :)

I do toooooo!

And I was kind of shocked there wasn't any fic for it. Or at least, that I can't find any fic.

Edited to add: and I'm DYING for The Room: Old Sins to come out, too. :)

I've mentioned this before, but am posting just to be safe.

Fandom: Good Game (Web Series)
Possible issue with the fandom: Close connection to Game Grumps, which is ineligible
Evidence for why this fandom should be considered eligible: While the show stars the Game Grumps, Arin Hanson and Dan Avidan, they play fictional characters (Ryland and Alex, respectively) and the entire show is scripted. The fandom currently only has 5 fics on AO3 and none on FFN.

Fandom: Dark Shadows - The Tony and Cassandra Mysteries (BF audio)
Possible issue with the fandom: might appear to be unreleased
Evidence for why this fandom should be considered eligible: This is a spin-off series due to be released in October, so it might not come out until after the deadline. However, there are five Tony and Cassandra stories in the Dark Shadows Audiobooks line, so there is already a decent canon to work with for these characters in this universe even before the spinoff appears. I could just request Dark Shadows Audiobooks and nominate these two characters, but it seems like it would be easier for people offering to see "Tony and Cassandra" and instantly know what I'm asking for.

Here is what is already out (link) and here is what will be coming out in October (a href="https://www.bigfinish.com/releases/v/the-tony-and-cassandra-mysteries-1657">link)

I KNOW, RIGHT!!! I'm super excited about this; glad to hear I'm not the only one. :)

Wolfman-Perez New Teen Titans

[whimsicalnixie]

Fandom: Wolfman-Perez New Teen Titans
Possible issue with the fandom: A particular run of the Teen Titans comic book, which is eligible
Evidence for why this fandom should be considered eligible:This was a specific era of the comic with a distinct team of characters unique to this particular run of the book. The Teen Titans comics itself is not eligible as a Yuletide fandom, with 517 fics eligible including crossovers on FanFiction.Net and 735 fics on AO3

Beast Boy Miniseries (DC Comics)

[whimsicalnixie]

Fandom: Beast Boy Miniseries (DC Comics)
Possible issue with the fandom: Lack of information/series confusion
Evidence for why this fandom should be considered eligible:This was a miniseries released in the early 2000's by Geoff Johns. I'm posting here just to be safe, because the miniseries is often grouped together with Geoff Johns's run on Teen Titans, but the events within the mini are entirely separate from Johns's run on the main series
