    [personal profile] kalloway
    Kissdum R Engage Planet - I almost feel like reading about the production of this series is as interesting as the series, also wtf this actual show. Kissdum is a 2007 Satelight anime with mecha designs by Shoji Kawamori, also it is not actually a mecha anime and I don't know what it is. It might've, at one point, been a mecha anime but it's basically the poster child for Troubled Production. Anyway, I actually want to watch this again someday.

    Dive!! - this is not actually a Free! rip-off, I swear. But it's mostly-naked anime boys diving so it's... a lot of what you'd expect. This has pretty terrible reviews and I actually ended up really liking it.

    VC Andrews Four-Film Collection - a Lifetime collection of Flowers in the Attic, Petals on the Wind, If There Be Thorns, and Seeds of Yesterday. Are these faithful to the source material? Yes and no. Flowers was okay, but Petals is impossible to squeeze into a made-for-tv movie and they cut a lot. Honestly, Petals is a really dense book, and I never much liked Thorns... It's probably been three decades since I've read the lot of them and don't actually remember much of Seeds but it seemed okay. The actors are all pretty good.

    WKRP in Cincinnati: In Concert - I had a post-it with a note on it from my father to watch this episode, and it's probably been in my planner for a year or more. This is the episode about The Who concert disaster, in Cincinnati, and it's a difficult watch. My father had a ticket to see The Who four days later and still talks about how difficult and polite and strange that concert was.

    Gundam Build Divers - I'm not sure how this ended up in the basket to watch, but it did, and the beginning is still a lot of fun and the second half is still an absolutely hot mess and there's a middle in there with some interesting gunpla at least?

    We are 214.5 hours into tag approving! We began with 6078 individual fandom nominations to sort (where if two people submitted the same fandom, that would count twice towards the total). We have 28 fandom nominations still to sort. (AO3-savvy users will note that that means we're no longer seeing a random display - instead we can view all remaining unapproved fandoms.)

    Please continue to review the questions below to help us sort them quickly and correctly! The sooner we sort out these issues, the sooner we can release the tag set.

    Please link your nominations page if telling us what to do about your nomination - thank you! Please either sign in to comment, or include a name with your anonymous comments, including replies to others' comments. Unsigned comments will stay screened. (You can find your own nominations at this link; keep in mind this gives you an 'Edit' screen where you can't actually submit any edits, but if you delete /edit, that's the page we're looking for.)

    If we've processed any of your nominations and something doesn't look right, please comment (with your nominations page) to tell us about the problem and how you think it should be corrected. Questions are welcome.


    The Baileys (Chuck Schumer's RPF) - We plan to approve this as something other than RPF, with Chuck Schumer as the creator of fictional material, since the characters involved aren’t real people. Additionally, we’re wondering about Eileen Bailey vs Eileen O’Reilly and Joe Bailey vs Joe O’Reilly. Nominator, do you see these as separate people, or should they be piped characters? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Dark Star Trilogy - Marlon James - Nominator, we couldn’t find a character named Panther. Did you mean Leopard? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Debí Tirar Más Fotos - Bad Bunny (Album) - Nominator, did you intend the visual album or the short film? The nomination of Señor suggests the latter, but Bad Bunny doesn’t appear as a character. We can combine them as (Album-related Videos) if you mean both. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Golden Hour pt 2 - ATEEZ (Album) and Golden Hour pt 3 : In Your Fantasy - ATEEZ (Album) - Both of these are nominated and so are the music videos for Ice On Your Teeth, Lemon Drop, and In Your Fantasy, which are songs on these albums. We're willing to approve music videos that can stand alone with clear and coherent fictional elements to build on, but it's not clear how the albums are distinct from ineligible lore or how they stand on their own, especially if the music videos also stand on their own. We're willing to hear arguments against, but otherwise will approve the music videos only. Nominators, if making a case, please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Marvel 1602 (Comics) - Nominator, from your character choices it's not clear you were interested in the original Marvel 1602 - could we approve as Marvel 1602: Fantastick Four (Comics), or have we misunderstood? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    The Racing Track (GrabFood Webseries) - Nominator, it looks like you’ve selected the actor names instead of character names for this fandom. Can we confirm you’re interested in RPF? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    She-Hulk (Marvel Comics) - Nominator, are you interested in multiple runs at once, or primarily in the 2023-2024 Sensational She-Hulk run? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    自転車屋さんの高橋くん | Takahashi from the Bike Shop - Nominator, did you want the manga or the 2022 drama adaptation? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Twin Peaks (TV 1990) - Nominator of Chantal Hutchens and Gary Hutchens, these characters are only in the 2017 sequel. We realize that tag is a synonym of the 1990 tag; still, would you prefer to split these out into a separate series? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    The Years of Apocalypse - A Time Loop Progression Fantasy - Uranium Phoenix - We could use some help identifying some of these characters. We can only find “Ceiba Yan” in the context of the Ceiba Yan Tree, and we can’t find Xecatl at all. Nominator, can you help us out? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Earlier queries…

    Batman: Arkham Shadow (Video Game) - we received evidence for this but would like more information, please. Could the nominator, or anyone else who knows this family of games, please help us understand how it is distinct? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Ghost in the Shell (Anime & Manga) - this is nominated with Kusanagi Motoko, Batou, Kogusa, and Saito; meanwhile, we also have a nomination for Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex (Anime) with Batou, Hideo Kuze, Motoko Kusanagi, and Togusa. We would prefer to combine these under Stand Alone Complex but are open to hearing otherwise. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Hear Me Cry (1984) (CBS Schoolbreak Special) Craig and David’s parents are distinct characters and so we are not willing to approve each set of parents as a single unit. Nominator, would you like to pick two of the four parents? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    History Boys - All Media Types - Nominator, we won’t approve this nomination as All Media Types. Would you prefer the movie or the play? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Riddick (2013) - Could we please get some information about how this stands alone from the rest of the Chronicles of Riddick saga? If you nominated this, please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Trash Taste (Podcast) - This podcast is nominated without characters, but it's difficult to see what you're looking for aside from RPF of the hosts, as this doesn't seem to contain a fictional narrative. Nominator, please clarify what you were hoping for? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Tron - All Media Types - We won't approve this nomination as All Media Types. Nominator, please pick a canon. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    West Coast Avengers (Marvel Comics) - Nominator, did you mean the 2018-19 reboot series? Your character nominations seem to relate to that run, so we'd like to approve as West Coast Avengers (Comics 2018-19), assuming that matches your intention. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    rionaleonhart: kingdom hearts: sora, riku and kairi having a friendly chat. (and they returned home)
    [personal profile] rionaleonhart
    For each of my major fandoms, I do a short writeup talking about how it fits into my fandom history. A fandom qualifies as 'major' if I've written five fics for it, or ten thousand words across at least three fics.

    With my recent fills for the kinkmeme, Kingdom Hearts now qualifies!


    Kingdom Hearts

    When I was in my early teens, I got most of my videogame news from magazines - my brother and I used to buy Official PlayStation 2 Magazine UK and PSM2 every month - so one of those magazines (most likely the official one) was where I first heard that there was an upcoming Disney and Square collaboration. As a Final Fantasy fan, I was surprised but intrigued; it sounded like fun! The magazine had some art of Sora on Destiny Islands, and I cut it out and put it up on the wall of my childhood bedroom.

    The original Kingdom Hearts came out when I was fourteen, Sora's age, so I was exactly the right audience for it! I absolutely loved it. It was fun and charming, and I shipped Sora and Riku hard. I read a lot of Sora/Riku fanfiction on fanfiction.net, although the Sora/Riku writers of the time tended to bash Kairi to a pretty ludicrous extent; I didn't have much interest in Kairi at the time, but I could see that the monstrous character she was presented as in fanfiction wasn't Kairi!

    As further Kingdom Hearts games came out, my investment only grew. The cast expanded, the plot became steadily more involved, and the series started to focus heavily on memory and identity, which are a couple of my favourite themes in fiction.

    I've played and hugely enjoyed most games in the Kingdom Hearts series, and I have to give 358/2 Days a special mention for being the hardest a videogame has ever made me cry, but Dream Drop Distance is my favourite. It's fun to play, it lets you explore new worlds rather than just reusing old ones, and, most importantly, it contains plenty of Riku/Sora material.

    Although I've loved the Kingdom Hearts series consistently for a couple of decades, my fics for it have been scattered and rare. I wrote my first Kingdom Hearts fic in the June of 2003, my second in 2009, my third in 2019, and my fourth and fifth here, in late 2025. I've always wanted to write more for it, but it's so sprawling and confusing that it's hard to know where to start!

    Favourite character: I mean, Squall Leonhart is technically a character in the Kingdom Hearts universe, and you know how I feel about Squall Leonhart. But my favourite Kingdom Hearts character is Riku. He spent the entire first game making terrible decisions and has quietly hated himself for it ever since, and that's what I want in a character.
    Favourite pairing: Sora/Riku must have been one of the earliest pairings I ever got really invested in, and every new Kingdom Hearts instalment since has only made them shippier. I've said before that one of my favourite pairing dynamics is 'I'm quietly and intensely in love with you, but I don't ever expect my feelings to be returned, and I don't have any plans to pursue you romantically. I'm just in love with you; it's an inescapable fact of my life,' and I wrote that description while thinking of Riku's feelings towards Sora.
    Number of words written: 9,303, across five fics. Unusually, I've never written from the same character's perspective twice in my Kingdom Hearts fanfiction; I've got one Kingdom Hearts fic from Sora's perspective, one from Kairi's, one from Roxas's, one from Riku's, and one - please don't ask questions - from the perspective of real-life stage magician Derren Brown.

    Snippet: I've got a few unfinished attempts at Kingdom Hearts fanfiction lying around. Here's a snippet I scribbled down around 2021 for a never-finished fic, with the slightly silly concept 'Riku confesses his love, and Sora is absolutely mystified because he had literally no idea it was possible for boys to fall in love with each other'.

    Kingdom Hearts unfinished snippet, Sora/Riku, 2021. )

    kalloway: Strings of Star-shaped lights (Xmas Lights 13 Stars)
    [personal profile] kalloway
    A strange week...

    September was a decidedly expensive month, so October's personal theme involves being a bit frugal if possible. Nothing is wrong! It was a just a collision of larger bills + events.

    This last week was busy: house-sat, had some grout come loose in my shower and had to acquire grout supplies and learn all about grout, got the windows washed (and finally got the screens back in), took the big comforter to the laundromat and washed it...

    [community profile] ficortreat is live, as is [community profile] octobercest, though the latter hasn't had any activity yet. I suppose I'll advertise both in the days to come.

    Finished up the... 1/72(?) Mailes Kenbu, who was a decent-enough build. I might still get the Ghost from that line.

    Working on MG Astray Blue Frame D, and when I get annoyed with her, I'll get back to Zwei? No polls for awhile; I really want to enjoy the feeling of grabbing whatever looks interesting and building it. (Next MG-or-1/100 will be a Wing kit though.) I have another kit on the way as audition for Revenant's backpack since I'm not entirely sold on my current choice. Eventually I'll have to decide on colors. IIRC Reverent was mostly white and Revenant decidedly is not.
    rionaleonhart: final fantasy versus xiii: a young woman at night, her back to you, the moon high above. (nor women neither)
    [personal profile] rionaleonhart
    Another fic for the Kingdom Hearts kinkmeme! NB: the prompt was 'Kairi/Riku, villains made them do it', so this one's pretty dark.

    (I spent a moment thinking 'what Disney villain would force two teenagers to have sex??' and then 'Frollo. Frollo, obviously.')

    I just accidentally started typing 'kinkdom hearts' instead of 'kingdom hearts' while trying to tag this entry.


    Title: Lessons on Desire
    Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
    Rating: 16
    Pairing: Riku/Kairi
    Wordcount: 1,200
    Summary: She's going to hate him, isn't she?
    Warnings: Mutual noncon.

    We are 168 hours into tag approving! We began with 6078 individual fandom nominations to sort (where if two people submitted the same fandom, that would count twice towards the total). We have 210 fandom nominations still to sort. Please review the questions below to help us sort them quickly and correctly!

    Please link your nominations page if telling us what to do about your nomination - thank you! Please either sign in to comment, or include a name with your anonymous comments, including replies to others' comments. Unsigned comments will stay screened. (You can find your own nominations at this link; keep in mind this gives you an 'Edit' screen where you can't actually submit any edits, but if you delete /edit, that's the page we're looking for.)

    If we've processed any of your nominations and something doesn't look right, please comment (with your nominations page) to tell us about the problem and how you think it should be corrected. Questions are welcome.


    Dragon's Dogma - Nominator, we won’t approve the group tag Pawn(s) (Dragon’s Dogma) as there is at least one specific Pawn. We can replace it with Arisen's Companion Pawn (Dragon's Dogma), which we approved last year, or remove this character, as you prefer. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    The Fox and the Hound (Disney Movies) - Nominator, we can't find characters who could be Tod And Vixie's Kits - could you clarify what you were thinking there please? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Ghost in the Shell (Anime & Manga) - this is nominated with Kusanagi Motoko, Batou, Kogusa, and Saito; meanwhile, we also have a nomination for Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex (Anime) with Batou, Hideo Kuze, Motoko Kusanagi, and Togusa. We would prefer to combine these under Stand Alone Complex but are open to hearing otherwise. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Hell's Belles - Jaysea Lynn and Hell's Belles Series - Jaysea Lynn - Nominators, is For Whom the Belle Tolls the first in a series, or are these nominations a reference to the TikTok series related to the book? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Inner Gold - Lindsey Stirling feat. Royal & the Serpent (Music Video) - We’re wondering about “Lindsey Stirling's Character | Golden Dancer” specifically. Is that the violinist in the gold mesh played by Lindsey Stirling, or the character in red who becomes covered in gold also played by Lindsey Stirling, or are these the same character? Would you be open to us approving the video without characters, to more easily leave these interpretations up to a creator? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    LEGO Castle - This seems to combine more than one playset. Nominator, could you clarify what you are hoping for please? Also, which wizard? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Nestle's Alpine White "Sweet Dreams" Commercials - We'd appreciate some help with the character nominations. Characters nominated are:
    • Dancing Girl with sparkler #1 (Nestle)

    • Man in Farmyard (Nestle)

    • Man in Sweater (Nestle Ad)

    • White Wolf (Nestle Ad)

    • Woman in Coat (Nestle Ad)

    • Woman in White Hood (Nestle)

    • Woman on Beach (Nestle)

    • Woman on Swing (Nestle Ad)
    Could we please check if the Man in Sweater is the same as the Man in Turtleneck approved last year? We'd like to approve Dancing Girls with Sparklers as a single unit, as it's not clear which one is #1 or what distinguishes her from the others. Lastly, we think that might be a fox rather than a wolf? For anyone curious, though please note the video does contain strobing lights… If you nominated this, please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Overcooked (Video Games) - Nominator, we’re not sure how “Customers (Overcooked - Video Games)” and “Passers-by (Overcooked - Video Games)” are two separate groups of characters that also cannot be distinguished from each other within the group. Can you help us understand what you were going for? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Phasmophobia (Video Game) - Nominator, could you please clarify the nomination of Ghost(s)? There seem to be several classes of ghost NPCs - we'd be willing to approve one of the other specific types, or potentially two, since you only used up three character slots. It also looks like 'Shade' is a subset of 'Ghosts' - please clarify? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Relic Master Series - Catherine Fisher - There is a group nomination for The Makers, but it appears to us that some of the makers are named and given individual characteristics. Nominator, could you choose a maker? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Riddick (2013) - Could we please get some information about how this stands alone from the rest of the Chronicles of Riddick saga? If you nominated this, please link your nominations page when you reply.

    The Secret Garden - Simon/Norman - We're a little unsure if the character nomination of "the Dreamers" works, since it includes at least two named characters. Nominate, could you expand on your thinking or pick a specific character please? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Soulmate Goose of Enforcement Fandom Trope (Anthropomorphic) - This is causing us some difficulty! We feel this isn’t an anthropomophic fandom, as the goose is already a character, who isn’t in need of anthropomorphising. We don’t generally approve tropes as fandoms; nominator, would it work to nominate under the original tumblr post instead? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Trash Taste (Podcast) - This podcast is nominated without characters, but it's difficult to see what you're looking for aside from RPF of the hosts, as this doesn't seem to contain a fictional narrative. Nominator, please clarify what you were hoping for? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    We Are คือเรารักกัน | We Are (Thailand TV 2024) RPF, เขาจ้างให้ผมจีบนักฆ่า | The Heart Killers (Thailand TV) RPF, รักไม่ระบุสถานะ | Dark Blue Kiss (TV) RPF, เลือดนายลมหายใจฉัน | My Golden Blood (Thailand TV 2024) RPF - Many of these characters were also nominated under GMMTV Actor RPF, so we plan to combine all of these nominations into GMMTV Actor RPF. If you're making a case for an alternate arrangement, please link your nominations page when you reply.

    West Coast Avengers (Marvel Comics) - Nominator, did you mean the 2018-19 reboot series? Your character nominations seem to relate to that run, so we'd like to approve as West Coast Avengers (Comics 2018-19), assuming that matches your intention. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Zoo (TV 2015) - We can’t find the character “Alyssa Diaz”, but that seems to be one of the actresses. Did you mean the character “Dariela Marzan”? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold and World of the Five Gods - Lois McMaster Bujold - given that the characters nominated under the canonical tag include some from Hallowed Hunt & the Penric and Desdemona stories, we would like to approve all of these together under World of the Five Gods. Any objections? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Corbenic (Catherine Fisher) - We won’t approve Arthur's Company Ensemble (Corbenic) as this is a group with named members. Nominator, would you like to pick one or two (since you’ve only nominated two other characters)? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Dream Cycle - H. P. Lovecraft - All characters nominated for this fandom (other than Worldbuilding) were approved last year in the fandom Cthulhu Mythos - H. P.

Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Hear Me Cry (1984) (CBS Schoolbreak Special) Craig and David’s parents are distinct characters and so we are not willing to approve each set of parents as a single unit. Nominator, would you like to pick two of the four parents? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Attention to Kingdom Hearts fans: there's a new Kingdom Hearts kinkmeme over at [community profile] khkinkanon, if you'd like to request or write some Kingdom Hearts smut! (Or non-smut, which is fortunate for me, given my general lack of smut-writing abilities! Although it isn't mentioned on the prompt post itself, the FAQ post specifies that all ratings are welcomed.)

    I saw a cute prompt for Hayner/Pence/Olette/Roxas, which is an OT4 I've always liked the idea of but never actually managed to write, so here's a fic! I... think this is actually the first fill on the kinkmeme, and I'm slightly embarrassed to kick things off with something so unkinky, but I enjoyed getting these four together nonetheless.


    Title: The Taking Part
    Fandom: Kingdom Hearts
    Rating: PG-13
    Pairing: Hayner/Pence/Olette/Roxas
    Wordcount: 1,500
    Summary: “A kissing contest?” Hayner demands. “Seriously?”

    Community Thursday challenge: every Thursday, try to make an effort to engage with a community on Dreamwidth, whether that's posting, commenting, promoting, etc.


    Over the last week...

    Commented on [community profile] booknook.

    Commented on [community profile] getyourwordsout.

    Posted on [community profile] bnha_fans... Going to go back to doing that weekly for a few months as the watch-along for the FINAL (!!! 🤯) anime season begins this weekend!

    Signal boosts:

    kalloway: Captain Coffee holding out sauce (GS Captain Coffee - 'This!')
    [personal profile] kalloway
    I started, as far as print matter goes, working my way across a shelf with some random floppies. I thought they were Robotech, possibly L*, but I wasn't entirely correct.

    Macross II (1-6) - probably of about 10, but I actually have the collected volume so... no need to keep these. This was actually pretty good. (Also Macross and Robotech take up overlapping brainspace for obvious reasons so half right here?)

    SpellBound Art Preview (Tomoko Taniguchi) - possibly one issue of this NA-original ever came out. This is a preview that's mostly art. I should really try to get that rogue issue at some point.

    Princess Prince (Tomoko Taniguchi) - I don't have a full set of Princess Prince floppies and I have no idea why or how they got on this shelf. Anyway, another where I dug out the collected volume and read that instead. Princess Prince is some of my first manga and first shoujo so it's all staying put. I either never noticed or memory-holed that the last of the floppies mentions an all-new NA-original three-part story but I don't have nay of it and don't know if it ever actually came out. Hmm... Something for the research hole in the future.

    Protoculture Addicts # 15 (Nov-Dec 1991) - a lot of Gundam in this issue, F91 & 0083, and long before standardized spellings so it's pretty interesting. There's an interview with Frederik L. Schodt that's hopefully been posted elsewhere at some point.

    Query Post Two

    We are ~93 hours into tag approving! We began with 6078 individual fandom nominations to sort (where if two people submitted the same fandom, that would count twice towards the total). We have 1449 fandom nominations still to sort. Please review the questions below to help us sort them quickly and correctly! And thank you very much for your help so far.

    Please link your nominations page if telling us what to do about your nomination - thank you! Please either sign in to comment, or include a name with your anonymous comments, including replies to others' comments. Unsigned comments will stay screened. (You can find your own nominations at this link; keep in mind this gives you an 'Edit' screen where you can't actually submit any edits, but if you delete /edit, that's the page we're looking for.)

    If we've processed any of your nominations and something doesn't look right, please comment (with your nominations page) to tell us about the problem and how you think it should be corrected. Questions are welcome.


    13th Century CE Plantagenet Dynasty RPF - this category contains Edward II and Piers Gaveston, who are also both nominated in 14th Century CE RPF. We intend to approve these under the former category like we did last year; let us know if you have concerns. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Akkadian Empire RPF - We would like to change this to the slightly more general Mesopotamian RPF, which also has a nomination for Enheduanna. Does this work for the nominator? (See also below for another Mesopotamian query.) Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Antiques Roadshow RPF - Nominator, we can’t find Melissa Meuwly. Do you mean Meredith Meuwly? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Batman: Arkham Shadow (Video Game) - we received evidence for this but would like more information, please. Could the nominator, or anyone else who knows this family of games, please help us understand how it is distinct? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    The Breakfast Club (1985) - Brian Johnson’s parents are distinct characters and so we are not willing to approve them as a unit. Nominator, would you like to pick a parent? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Brilliant Minds (TV 2024) - We have nominations for Nico Silva and Scotty Silva. As far as we can tell, these are names given at different times in promotional material for a character played by Al Calderon, and the character hasn't yet appeared on the show. Since the most recent information we can find refers to Nico Silva, we're inclined to approve as that, but please let us know if this may be a twin situation or something else is going on! Please also note that if we can't be sure this character is appearing in any episodes before the end of sign-ups, we may need to remove them from the tag set. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid RPF - Both Paul Newman and Robert Redford are also nominated under the fandom Post-Classical Hollywood RPF, so we plan to merge this to that fandom, since people will be free to request or offer only these two characters. Please let us know if you have any concerns. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold and World of the Five Gods - Lois McMaster Bujold - given that the characters nominated under the canonical tag include some from Hallowed Hunt & the Penric and Desdemona stories, we would like to approve all of these together under World of the Five Gods. Any objections? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Control (Video Game) - We can’t determine if the character “Oldest House” possesses enough sentience to be approved. Nominator, could you describe how the Oldest House is a character please? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Corbenic (Catherine Fisher) - We won’t approve Arthur's Company Ensemble (Corbenic) as this is a group with named members. Nominator, would you like to pick one or two (since you’ve only nominated two other characters)? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Dream Cycle - H. P. Lovecraft - All characters nominated for this fandom (other than Worldbuilding) were approved last year in the fandom Cthulhu Mythos - H. P. Lovecraft; as we have overlapping nominations, we’d like to combine again the same way. Nominator of Worldbuilding (Dream Cycle - H. P. Lovecraft), would Worldbuilding (Cthulhu Mythos) in the fandom Cthulhu Mythos - H. P. Lovecraft work for you, or would you prefer for us to approve Dream Cycle with Worldbuilding as the only character tag? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    End of Summer (1998) - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer). Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Game Changer (Web Series) - Nominator of Brennan Lee Mulligan and Sam Reich, we’d like to approve these characters but add them instead to the fandom CollegeHumor | Dropout RPF; nominator of Cerberus (Game Changer), Minotaur Brennan Lee Mulligan, Elaine Carroll, and Sam Reich, we’d like to approve these characters under Game Changer: Samalamadingdong (see below), with disambiguations for Elaine and Sam to indicate the fictional-ish versions they portrayed there. Alternatively, if you intended the actual versions of Elaine and Sam, we can move them as well to CollegeHumor | Dropout RPF as you do have a free fandom nomination slot - please let us know if you’d prefer that, or if you have any concerns. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Game Changer RPF - as the nominated characters are not RPF but rather characters from Game Changer: Samalamadingdong, we’ll approve them under this fandom - please let us know if you have concerns. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Hear Me Cry (1984) (CBS Schoolbreak Special) Craig and David’s parents are distinct characters and so we are not willing to approve each set of parents as a single unit. Nominator, would you like to pick two of the four parents? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    History Boys - All Media Types - Nominator, we won’t approve this nomination as All Media Types. Would you prefer the film or the play? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Imperial Radch Series - Ann Leckie and Translation State - Ann Leckie - Last year we approved Translation State separately and also approved the Ancillary Trilogy as its own fandom. Imperial Radch - Ann Leckie nominators, it looks like all your characters are in the original trilogy–any concerns with the same solution this year? Please link your nominations page when you reply. (edited slightly for clarity)

    Mesopotamian RPF - this includes a nomination for the religious figure Avraham | Abraham | Ibrāhīm. We can see the logic but as the sources for his life are quite different to those of other figures nominated in this category, could we check what you were interested in, please, nominator? We note that Ea-Nasir is also nominated and that Ea-Nasir and Abraham have been discussed together; is there a specific source combining them you would be interested in? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Midsomer Murders - All Media Types - Nominator, we won't approve this nomination as All Media Types. Would you prefer TV or books? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis and To Say Nothing of the Dog: or How We Found the Bishop's Bird Stump at Last - Connie Willis - To Say Nothing nominator, do you have any concerns about combining your nominations with the larger universe? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Palais de Reine (Visual Novel) - We can’t find the character “Astrud”. Nominator, is this “Astrad”, or is it just a different localization? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Strange Antiquities (Video Game) - Could we check please, is the nominated Thaumaturge the player character or the player character's mentor? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Terminator (Movies), Terminator: Genesis (2015), and Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) - Nominators, please make your cases for splitting or combining these. Would it work to keep Genesis separate and combine (Movies 1984 1991 2019) for the rest, since Dark Fate follows Terminator 2? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Tron - All Media Types - We won't approve this nomination as All Media Types. Nominator, please pick a canon. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Previous queries

    Aliens (1986) - Nominator, these characters are also nominated under the broader fandom Alien (Original Movies 1979-1997), so we would like to merge your nominations in with the rest of the original movies. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Bibi Blocksberg (2002) - Nominator, do you specifically only want the first movie, or may we approve this as the canonical Bibi Blocksberg (Movies 2002 2004)? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Dragonfly - Ursula K. Le Guin, Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin, The Tombs of Atuan - Ursula K. Le Guin - Our understanding is that these are all in the same continuity. We are planning to combine Earthsea and Tombs of Atuan, especially as there is character overlap in those nominations. Dragonfly nominator, do you have concerns with folding that nomination into Earthsea as well? If so, we would appreciate help understanding exactly what you’re looking for and how to differentiate the larger Earthsea universe. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Patricia Wrede - We won’t approve the character nomination Morwen's Cats (Enchanted Forest) as they are all individually named. Nominators, could you please each choose a cat? (Scorn has already been nominated, and another nominator is fine with either Trouble or Fiddlesticks.) Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    MAIJO Otaro - Works - We don’t approve fandoms consisting of all of a creator’s works, and the nominated characters appear to come from at least 2 novels. Nominator, could you pick one of Maijō’s works to nominate, along with the associated characters? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    夢中さ きみに。| Muchuu sa Kimi ni (Manga) - We also have a nomination for the Anime; the nominator of that fandom says they have not read the manga but believes these could be combined if needed. We've heard from two Manga nominators who are OK with combining under Anime & Manga; could we hear from the third please? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    [personal profile] vriddy
    Checked in for [community profile] getyourwordsout! It feels gooood to have met my monthly goal, for once :D I'm still desperately behind but it feels like I'm happily waddling along so it's all good. I'm learning and making progress!

    Not having a title for the cursed witch is starting to feel like a loose teeth I can't stop poking at. I have a potential "series" title, although I just had an insight that if that feels like too much, I probably can smash the two sequel ideas I had into one book and make it into a hopefully more manageable duology instead, BUT also I know everything often ends up longer than expected, but also I end up thinking about how to contrast the book titles except that I have no titles at all yet!! Lol.

    Come to me, title, come to me... *lays down breadcrumbs and hides around a corner in wait*

    This is the roundup where I get to firmly say things aren't working and didn't work and that's okay! When I first set this up at the beginning of the year, I certainly wasn't expecting to bellyflop back into Gundam and Gunpla and not really be doing any writing or for the great work reorganization to still be in-progress nearly a year later. ^^;;

    Like, nothing is bad but it's certainly unexpected!

    September Plans! )

    So, October-

    Run around screaming.

    Clean and declutter as needed. I'm currently patching a damaged bit of grout in my shower and I can see that I need to spend some time scrubbing everything up and fixing any other patches that look questionable. There are some older patches that are far from professional so at least I'm not intimidated with a need to make it look perfect. ^^;; Living room still needs the most work clutter-wise and I need to get everything dug out and sorted for November's comic-con.

    Write & Archive as inspired. Continue the accidental advent. Work on zines as inspired. Play games. Chill. There will always be more to do and that's okay.

    Aliens (1986) - These characters are also nominated under the broader fandom Alien (Original Movies 1979-1997), so we would like to merge your nominations in with the rest of the original movies.

    Bibi Blocksberg (2002) - Nominator, do you specifically only want the first movie, or may we approve this as the canonical Bibi Blocksberg (Movies 2002 2004)? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Book of Night - Holly Black - We also have evidence for this fandom as the Charlatan Duology, and another participant has nominated it under that name. We’d like to combine your nominations, but please get us in touch if there’s a reason that won’t work. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Clocktaur War Series - T. Kingfisher, Swordheart - T. Kingfisher, Temple of the White Rat Universe - T. Kingfisher, The Saint of Steel - T. Kingfisher - We have some overlap in these nominations. The fandom as a whole is eligible, so we could combine them under Temple of the White Rat Universe, or the Temple of the White Rat Universe nominator could have their characters split into the other fandoms if you are willing to do that. Please comment with a link to your nominations to help us sort this out!

    Cousin Bette - Honoré de Balzac - Nominator, you may see some oddities as we get this set up separately from La Comédie Humaine. Pardon our dust, and hopefully you’re used to it by now! Let us know if anything looks wrong when the final tagset is released.

    Designing Women - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer).

    Dragonfly - Ursula K. Le Guin, Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin, The Tombs of Atuan - Ursula K. Le Guin - Our understanding is that these are all in the same continuity.

Does the Manga nominator have a preference? Please link your nominations page when you reply. ETA: sorry, we have 3 manga nominators and have heard from 2, so it would be great to hear from the third!

    Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer).

    Nescafe Advertisment - While this is a canonical fandom on AO3, it’s under review to be renamed, so we’ll approve this as Nescafe "Arctica" | "Polar Explorers" Advertisments (Russia) which is the likely new name. However, we’d like more information on the characters. We’re not sure which of the men is “First Polar” and which is “Second Polar”; some works in the fandom use Ivanov and Petrov. Also, we haven’t seen a polar bear in the 3 ads we’ve found - can you link us to the one that has the polar bear, please?

    老洞 | The Old Miao Myth (TV) - Nominator, for the character Jin Bong, are you looking for Chin Pong? We’ve checked several sources and want to confirm whether this is a romanization issue or something else.

    Outcast (Video Game series) - this has been nominated with character 'Any' and no other characters. If you mean you are interested in any characters, we will approve this without characters, but we wanted to check just in case there is a character actually named Any. Please link your nominations page when you reply.

    Phantom of the Paradise (1974) - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer).

    Prophet - Sin Blaché & Helen Macdonald - could we please get more information about 'Prophet' as a character (aside from being the title)?

    Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer)

    Tennis RPF - We have separate nominations for 2020's Men's Tennis RPF (characters: Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, Terence Atmane) and 2025 Grand Slam Season (Tennis) RPF (characters: Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner) - may we combine these under the former fandom name? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
