Nominations for 2025 are closed! 🥳

Nominations are closed! I will be working through the remaining nominations that have yet to be reviewed. I do not have any plans on posting another query post, although I will if I have any questions.

A huge thank you to the tagmods for helping me tackle our massive nominations dashboard! We have over 3,000 nominations and I would not have been able to climb that mountain as quickly as I did without you. You have been a tremendous help. ♥

*

In the meantime, please have a look at the tagset, specifically what you're interested in requesting and offering, and let me know if you see any errors such as duplicates or strange typos by Tuesday 12 August at 11:59pm EDT. [ In your timezone. ] The tagset will be finalised by this time and will not be changing for any edit requests.

When flagging errors, please provide the fandom and the nomination as it sits in the tagset so I can easily find them! Thank you to everyone who has already flagged duplicates and errors!

Sign-ups will open on Wednesday 13 August, time unspecified. Please be aware that Tuesday 12 August at 11:59pm EDT. [ In your timezone. ] is the deadline for 2024's participants to have commented on their gifts from that round. Here is a handy link for the 2024 collection. (If your nominations are fine, perhaps have a look around at our previous collections and comment on some of the gifts! We have fantastic works in our collections!)

Thoughts on fandom
Fantastic Four (2025) vs Marvel Cinematic Universe
I have several nominations for Fantastic Four: First Steps characters, but we have them split across MCU and FF:FS in the nominations dashboard. Did the nominators—or those who are interested in requesting/offering—oppose me placing them under "Fantastic Four (2025)"? I know that this movie is technically in the MCU, but as it takes place on another Earth, I'm considering accepting it as a different "continuity" to the other MCU relationships.

All the nominations that have been submitted for this sub-fandom are approved, even though, at the publishing of this post, I have not officially approved them yet. I just need to know where to put them.


*

Rejected nominations
If you oppose a rejection because it's eligible or I've made a mistake (it happens—I have been hit with AO3's "Retry Later" and "You're clicking too quickly" messages repeatedly over the last 48 hours that has reset my progress when approving nominations 😫), please let me know before 11:59pm on Tuesday 12 August so these nominations can be reinstated into the tagset.

These nominations were rejected during the last round of nomination review:

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling
Neville Longbottom/Luna Lovegood (HP) - Over 250 works.

Duplicates/errors
Thank you to everyone who has flagged duplicates in the tagset.

If you see any duplicates/errors in the tagset, please flag them before Tuesday 12 August at 11:59pm EDT. [ In your timezone. ] I won't be editing any tags once the sign-up period commences.

*

Please amend fandom

Could the nominator please amend the fandom to "Pokemon Main Video Game Series", as that is the fandom we've placed other canon relationships under.

Jurassic Park - All Media Types
Billy Brennan/Alan Grant (JP)
Gray Mitchell/Zach Mitchell (JP)

We do not accept All Media Types. I will be amending Jurassic Park movie nominations (including Rebirth) to sit under "Jurassic Park (Movies)" as a fandom in the tagset.


*

Please renominate under Crossover Fandom
Star Wars - All Media Types
Poe Dameron (SW ST)/Jacen Syndulla (SW Ahsoka)

Multi-Fandom
Roberta (L'ultimo Terrestre)/Majid Zamari

As per this comment, it seems this relationship belongs under Crossover Fandom. Can the nominator please amend the disambiguations as per our crossover guidelines, too.


*

Rejected nominations
If your nomination is rejected and you have a case for why it shouldn't be (or if we have made a mistake), please discuss it with us before nominations close; otherwise it will remain rejected.

Angel/Lindsey McDonald (Angel: the Series)
Larry Blaisdell/Daniel "Oz" Osbourne

Appaloosa - All Media Types
Virgil Cole/Everett Hitch (Appaloosa)

We do not accept "All Media Types" nominations. We're happy to hear cases about why this should remain under the AMT umbrella from the nominator. If we don't hear back, or if this is not amended per our guidelines, this nomination will be rejected.
Accepted as is.

Fire Emblem Series
Edelgard von Hresvelg (FE3H)/Karin (FE5)

The disambiguations dictate this is a crossover. Please renominate under "Crossover Fandom". This nomination will be rejected if it is not amended.

Real Person Fiction
Aaron Taylor-Johnson/Fred Hechinger
Aaron Taylor-Johnson/Original Female Character(s)

Please renominate under "Actor RPF".

苍兰诀 | Love Between Fairy and Devil (TV) RPF

Dongfang Qingcang/Shangque (Love Between Fairy and Devil)
Dongfang Qingcang/Shangque/Xiao Lanhua (Love Between Fairy and Devil)
Jieli/Xiao Lanhua (Love Between Fairy and Devil)

This is nominated under an RPF tag, but it looks like all the relationships are fictional characters. Can the nominator please correct the fandom for this nomination, or explain why this should be accepted as is. This nomination set will be rejected if not amended/if case is not made.
Accepted.

Final Fantasy VII Remake and Rebirth (Video Games 2020-2024)
Cloud Strife/Wedge

Should this be under "Compilation of Final Fantasy VII" as a fandom? Please amend the fandom or this nomination will be rejected.
Accepted.


*

Queries
Multi-Fandom
Roberta (L'ultimo Terrestre)/Majid Zamari

This looks like it is fandoms thrown together under one umbrella. Is this a canon? (Google says it is fan-created content.) Or is this an AO3 canon? We will not accept this if this is an AO3 canon as it looks like recursive work. Please amend to Crossover Fandom and correctly disambiguate.

Severance (TV)
Irving B./Burt G.
Irving Bailiff/Burt Goodman

I am assuming this are the same characters nominated under different formats. Can someone canon familiar please confirm?
Both tags accepted, assuming it's clear that they are asking for two different versions of the pairing.

2024 Final nominations clarifications

Our final nominations clarification post is the smallest of this round! Thank you to everyone who has informed us of wandering tags and duplicates. Please check your nominations and their fandoms to ensure there aren't duplicates—we won't be able to remove these once sign-ups open.

We have a few queries regarding a small handful of nominations, and we would appreciate advice from the nominator or anyone with canon knowledge.

陈情令 | The Untamed (TV)
Lan An/Wen Mao (Modao Zushi)

Is this a crossover? Leaving as is.

魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù
Jin Guangshan/Meng Yao | Jin Guangyao

Is this a crossover? Leaving as is.

Crossover Fandom
Achroma | Colress (Pokemon: Black 2 & White 2)/Giima | Grimsley (Pokemon: Black & White)

Would these two Pokemon fandoms be considered the same fandom? Can we move it out of Crossover Fandom and under Pocket Monsters: Black & White | Pokemon Black and White Versions fandom? Deleted from Crossover Fandom as it is in the Main Video Game Series tag.

Crossover Fandom
Christopher Pike/Vina (any series)

Can the nominator please select a series? Did you want Star Trek: The Original Series or Star Trek: Discovery? We do not accept "any series" for this exchange.

Star Trek: Voyager
Kathryn Janeway/Justin Tighe (Star Trek: Voyager)

Can the nominator or someone familiar with Star Trek: Voyager please let us know if the Star Trek: Voyager novels are considered to be episode tie-ins? We are assuming that they are, but we only have Wikipedia to go off. Leaving as is.

Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Main Video Game Series) and Pocket Monsters: Sword & Shield | Pokemon Sword & Shield Versions
Beet | Bede/Hop (Pokemon MVGS)
Beet | Bede/Hop (Pocket Monsters: Sword & Shield | Pokemon Sword & Shield Versions)
Mary | Marnie/Yuuri | Gloria (Pokemon MVGS)
Mary | Marnie/Yuuri | Gloria (Pocket Monsters: Sword & Shield | Pokemon Sword & Shield Versions)

Can we please get guidance as to which fandom these pairings belong under? We have duplicates of both in the fandoms listed above in bold.

Currently seeking guidance as to whether we can merge all Pocket Monster fandoms under "Main Video Game Series" with the intentions of leaving the disambiguations intact given how many tags have been nominated.
All Pocket Monster fandoms under Video Games have been mered under "Pocket Monsters (Main Video Game Series)".

Crossover Fandom
James Bond/Austin Powers

Which James Bond does the nominator want? If you want a specific James Bond, we need to make this clear in the disambiguation. If James Bond is not disambiguated, we will not enforce any requests that specify which James Bond actor in the optional sign-up details. (If you want Daniel Craig but get Sean Connery, we will not send the request to pinch hit if the tag remains as is.)

逆転裁判 | Gyakuten Saiban | Ace Attorney
Garyuu Kyouya | Klavier Gavin/Ichijou Mikumo | Kay Faraday/Ichiyanagi Yumihiko | Sebastian Debeste

This has been accepted as "Garyuu Kyouya/Ichijou Mikumo/Ichiyanagi Yumihiko (AA)" as the original tag was too long.


This nomination has been changed to - "Klavier Gavin/Kay Faraday/Sebastian Debeste (AA)".

Thank you!

2024 Nominations clarifications #3

Please ensure you familiarise yourself with our rules and the nominations post before nominating. We still have outstanding queries from our second nominations post that we would appreciate nominators providing feedback on or editing their nominations so that they can be approved.

Please disambiguate your nominations and ensure that they are correct! Disambiguations are causing a few issues for us this year.

Thank you to everyone who has commented or emailed about duplicates, wandering tags, and disambiguations that can be firmer. We'll be responding to you as soon as possible. (Apologies if some of those queries are duplicated here.)

*

We do not accept "All Media Types" nominations unless the fandom has been specified in our nominations post as the exception to this rule, or a participant makes a case for it. Please specify the single canon source you are nominating.

Ivanhoe - All Media Types
Brian de Bois-Guilbert/Rebecca of York

Is this film, TV, theatre, books? Please amend the fandom and add the disambiguation. This has been moved to "Ivanhoe - Walter Scott".

Star Wars - All Media Types
Armitage Hux/Jannah
Finn/Anakin Skywalker
Finn/Armitage Hux
Finn/Armitage Hux/Kylo Ren
Finn/Jannah (Star Wars)
Finn/Kylo Ren
Jannah/Rose Tico
Rey/Rose Tico

These nominations have been moved to sit under Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. Please let us know if any of the ships have been incorrectly placed in this subfandom.

A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms
Jojen Reed/Bran Stark

Please amend your nomination to specify whether this is from "Game of Thrones (TV)" or "A Song of Ice and Fire (Books)". Please add the correct disambiguation. This has been moved to "ASOIAF — George R.R. Martin".

Baldur's Gate (Video Games)
Aradin/Zevlor (Baldur's Gate)

Please specify which video game. Is this Baldur's Gate 3? Thank you! This has been accepted under BG3.

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Edmund (Daredevil TV)/Matt Murdock
Lester | Benjamin "Dex" Poindexter/Matt Murdock

Please amend your nomination to "Daredevil (TV)" and add the disambiguation. This has been moved to "Daredevil".

PIERCE Tamora - Works
Dedicate Lark/Dedicate Rosethorn (Emelan)
Lalasa Isran/Tianine Plowman
Rizuka fa Dalach/Daja Kisubo

Do these all exist in the same universe? When checking, we saw that these ships came up with the subfandoms of Tortalls, The Immortals, etc. The mods are unfamiliar with this canon, so guidance would be greatly appreciated. Can the nominator please amend the fandom so Dedicate Lark/Dedicate Rosethorn is nominated under "Emelan - Tamora Pierce" and the other two ships are under "Tortall - Tamora Pierce"? If the nominator does not have space to nominate another fandom, please let us know and we will add it. These have been moved to "Emelan - Tamora Pierce" and "Tortall - Tamora Pierce".

If these nominations are not amended by the time nominations close, we will reject them.

*

We believe these nominations belong under "Crossover Fandom". Can the nominators please edit their nominations to place these ships under the correct fandom ("Crossover Fandom") or confirm that they belong in the nominated fandoms listed below. Please ensure you disambiguate your nominations.

Overwatch (Video Game)
Alexstrasza (Warcraft)/Hanzo Shimada

Should this be Warcraft/Overwatch? Please update the fandom to "Crossover Fandom" and add the disambiguation for Hanzo. This has been moved to "Crossover Fandom".

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Erik Lehnsherr/Wade Wilson
James "Bucky" Barnes/Wade Wilson
Steve Rogers/Wade Wilson
Tony Stark/Wade Wilson

Erik Lensherr and Wade Wilson are not a part of the MCU yet. Please amend your nomination and add disambiguations. We are happy to hear cases that Wade Wilson is prior to the release of Deadpool & Wolverine, but currently we do not consider him as such as his big MCU appearance is anticipated with this movie.

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Frank Castle/Wade Wilson
Frank Castle/Steve Rogers
James "Bucky" Barnes/Frank Castle

Frank Castle is not a part of the MCU but Marvel TV. Please amend his disambiguation to Daredevil or The Punisher. The other characters require a disambiguation. This nomination belongs under "Crossover Fandom".

Marvel Cinematic Universe
Steve Rogers/Claire Temple (MCU)

Claire Temple is not a part of the MCU but Marvel TV. Please amend her disambiguation to Daredevil or Luke Cage. Please add Steve Rogers' disambiguation. This nomination belongs under "Crossover Fandom".

Video Blogging RPF
Mark Fischbach/Ellie Goulding
Mark Fischbach/Ellie Goulding/Amy Nelson/Ethan Nestor

When we checked these tags, Ellie Goulding works were also tagged with "Music RPF". We believe Ellie belongs under "Music RPF", making this a crossover. Please amend your nomination and add the disambiguations.

Star Wars Sequel Trilogy
Finn/Anakin Skywalker

Should this be a crossover with the Original Trilogy? If so, please amend the fandom and add the disambiguation. This has been moved to "Crossover Fandom".

The Mandalorian (TV)
Din Djarin/Anakin Skywalker (Mandalorian)

Should this be a crossover with the Original Trilogy? Wikipedia tells us Anakin Skywalker is only mentioned in The Mandalorian. Thank you!

The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo
Kaz Brekker/Nikolai Lantsov (Six of Crows Grishaverse)

Kaz Brekker does not appear in The Grisha Trilogy. This needs to be moved to sit under "Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo" if you want Nikolai Lantsov as he appears in Crooked Kingdom or be nominated as "Crossover Fandom" if you want Nikolai Lantsov from The Grisha Trilogy. Please add disambiguations. (Please avoid using "Grishaverse" as a disambiguation.) This has been moved to "Six of Crows Series - Leigh Bardugo".

The Grisha Trilogy - Leigh Bardugo
Kaz Brekker/The Darkling | Aleksander Morozova (Six of Crows Grishaverse)

The Darkling does not appear in Six of Crows and Kaz Brekker does not appear in The Grisha Trilogy. Please amend your nomination with "Crossover Fandom" as the fandom and disambiguate your nomination. (Please avoid using "Grishaverse" as a disambiguation.) This has been moved to "Crossover Fandom".

Black Sails

If these nominations are not amended by the time nominations close, we will reject them.

The following nominations are approved, but we can't process them as they're over AO3's character limit! We were going to shorten these, but we worried doing so canonblind might lead them to lose their meaning to those familiar with the canons.

Inoue Miyako | Yolei Inoue/Yagami Hikari | Kari Kamiya

We want to merge Final Fantasy X and Final Fantasy X-2 nominations to sit under "Final Fantasy X Series". These are the ships accepted in the tagset that would be impacted by this:

Baralai/Gippal/Nooj/Paine (Final Fantasy X Series)
Lulu/Rikku/Wakka (Final Fantasy X Series)

Rikku/Tidus (Final Fantasy X Series)
Rikku/Tidus/Yuna (Final Fantasy X Series)

Can the nominators (and those familiar with these games who intend to request them) please let us know if they see any issues with this? The mods are not familiar with FFX and we'd appreciate any guidance as to whether this may muddle sign-ups. (Please let us know if we need to include another fandom subcategory that's already accepted in the tagset to sit under "Final Fantasy X Series".)

Final Fantasy X-2 has been merged with Final Fantasy X Series.

We have also merged Valkyrie Profile: Lenneth with Valkyrie Profile Series.

Can we please get some guidance from our Tolkien and Rings of Power nominators? We have a few disambiguations that risk muddling sign-ups.

As it currently stands, we have the below in the tagset:

The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien
Arwen/Éowyn (Lord of the Rings)
Elladan/Elrohir (Lord of the Rings)
Éowyn/Lothíriel (Lord of the Rings)
Imrahil/Legolas (Lord of the Rings)
Théodred/Gríma Wormtongue (The Lord of the Rings - J. R. R. Tolkien)
Celeborn/Galadriel (Tolkien)
Celeborn/Galadriel/Sauron (Tolkien)
Celeborn/Glorfindel (Tolkien)
Celeborn/Sauron (Tolkien)
Galadriel (Tolkien)/Halbrand (The Rings of Power)

The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power (TV 2022)
Galadriel (Tolkien)/Halbrand (The Rings of Power)
Celeborn/Galadriel (Tolkien)
Celeborn/Galadriel/Sauron (Tolkien)
Celeborn/Sauron (Tolkien)

Can the nominators please let us know if:
  • the tags with the "(Tolkien)" disambiguation in "The Rings of Power (TV)" fandom need to be either corrected to reflect that they want the television version of these ships or if they need to be moved to the book fandom?
  • if "Galadriel (Tolkien)/Halbrand (The Rings of Power)"'s disambiguation needs to be corrected to "(Rings of Power)" and moved to sit under the TV show, or if it needs to be amended to "(Tolkien)" and remain where it is under the LOTR books?
  • if any of the ships are sitting under the wrong canon source and need to be moved?

  • Thank you, everyone! Please feel free to provide us with further guidance if you see errors in the tagset for any LOTR-related properties.

    General clarification enquiries:

      Zelda II: The Adventure of Link
      Link/Zelda (Zelda1)/Zelda (Zelda 2)

      Can the nominator please confirm if this is a crossover? We aren't familiar with this canon, and we were wondering if the "Zelda 1" and "Zelda 2" indicated different games?

      악역의 엔딩은 죽음뿐 - 권겨을 | Villains Are Destined to Die (Webcomic)

      Can the nominator please confirm if this canon can be edited to "'악역의 엔딩은 죽음뿐 - 권겨을 | Death Is The Only Ending For The Villain - Kwon Gyeoeul"?

      Temeraire - Naomi Novik
      Josephine de Beauharnais Bonaparte/Napoléon I de France | Napoléon Bonaparte/William Laurence

      AO3 won't allow us to approve this as it's too long. Can the nominator please let us know if we can approve this as "Josephine de Beauharnais Bonaparte/Napoléon Bonaparte/William Laurence" without causing any confusion as to who the characters are? (Can the nominator also let us know if there's a shorter way to express these characters in case our suggestion is still too long?)

      Supernatural (TV 2005)
      Paul (Supernatural: 99 Problems)/Sam Winchester (SPN)

      We're wondering if this needs to be renominated under "Crossover Fandom". Can the nominator please confirm if "Supernatural: 99 Problems" is a subfandom?


      Doctor Who (2005)
      Queen Perpugilliam of the Brown/Sixth Doctor (DW 2005)

      Can the nominator please confirm if this is the same ship as "Peri Brown/Sixth Doctor", which belongs under "Doctor Who (1963)"?

      Original Work
      Older Woman/Older Man (OW)

    Disambiguation is including the fandom after the relationship, i.e. when nominating Laurie/Amy from Little Women 2019, the tag should read "Theodore "Laurie" Laurence/Amy March (Little Women — Gerwig 2019)". Disambiguations can be acronyms of the fandom as well.

    If you are waiting for your nominations to be accepted and have not disambiguated, please edit your nominations to include disambiguations. If nominations are not disambiguated, you risk having them rejected.
