Nomination clarification post #1

[soulstoned]

I have some questions about a few relationship nominations. If one of these is yours, please comment here or send me an email (idficmod@gmail.com) with a link to your nomination page to clarify it.

Original Work

knight/blacksmith met on the adventure
Does "knight/blacksmith they met on an adventure" work here? Or maybe "knight/blacksmith they met on this adventure"


detective/criminal mastermind who doesn't know each other's jobs
is "detective/criminal mastermind who don't know each other's jobs" okay?

New Queen Grieving & Besieged/Her Badass Bisexual Harem
Is the & in this tag just the word "and?" I just want to make sure I'm not missing something and it isn't supposed to be a combo gen and ship tag.


Star Trek Deep Space Nine

Benjamin Sisko & Voyager "Threshold" Lizard Babies
Is this a crossover?

Also, if anyone has spotted any duplicates, please let me know!

Comments

[pauraque]

Not the nominator, but yes, Benjamin Sisko & Voyager "Threshold" Lizard Babies would be a crossover: Star Trek Deep Space Nine/Star Trek Voyager.

(I would also like to say that this nomination is amazing and it made my day.)

I'm a person who nominated the detective and blacksmith ships! I'm so sorry for spelling error in detective one and making the blacksmith nomination unclear! Both versions you suggested work for me!

[sheliak]

New Queen Grieving & Besieged/Her Badass Bisexual Harem

Yes, that's supposed to be an and &.

New Queen Grieving and Besieged/Her Badass Bisexual Harem

would be fine.

Noticed one duplicate tag in the free forms

A/B/O - alpha agrees to be knotted not knowing it could lead to them becoming omega

[sholio]

A couple more freeform duplicates:

Touch-Starved - Stoic Character Falls Apart When Someone Touches Them
Touch-Starved Stoic Character Falling Apart Under Someone's Touch

Casefic: Undercover as a couple
Undercover as a Couple

[(Anonymous)]

A duplicate:

Formulaic hierarchical stuff like saluting or kneeling but FELT SO DEEPLY AND SINCERELY
Loyalty Kink: Formulaic hierarchical saluting/kneeling/etc. but FELT SO DEEPLY AND SINCERELY

[(Anonymous)]

There’s a mispelling under the crossover section.

Laura Croft (Tomb Raider)/Nathan Drake (Uncharted)

Needs to be corrected to:

Lara Croft (Tomb Raider)/Nathan Drake (Uncharted)

Thanks!

The second isn't a duplicate.

[sholio]

They look like it to me - as a participant I would interpret those as requests for an identical kink, in the same way as the tags in the comment right below this one, where it's basically the same request with or without "loyalty kink" tagged on the front - and that's why I mentioned it. The mod and/or nominator may or may not agree in each instance. If they don't to you, that's also a good point of view to have!

Misspelling under "The Defender's (Marvel TV)" in the the TV Section. Matt's last name is spelled wrong.

Incorrect: Matt Mudock/Ray Nadeem (Defenders TV)

Correct: Matt Murdock/Ray Nadeem (Defenders TV)

Thanks! :)

[thedevilchicken]

Just to confirm: that's now fixed.

[thedevilchicken]

And this is also fixed!

Spotted some doubles!
Hate Sex - Characters Having Hate Sex Develop Feelings For Each Other
Hate Sex - Characters having hate sex gradually catch feelings

Hate Sex Turns Unexpectedly Tender
Hate sex turns unexpectly tender

Ritual Public Sex
Ritual Sex - Public

[desertvixen]

X-Wing pilots are roaming around and trying to join other fandoms.

Wedge Antilles & Tycho Celchu & Wes Janson & Derek "Hobbie" Klivian & Luke Skywalker

Not my nom, but they probably belong to Legends AMT. They're also showing up in SW:OT and Rogue One, and SW: ST as well.

[thedevilchicken]

They do belong in Legends, and it's on my list to fix when I've come up with a suitable disambiguation tag that fits in the 100 character limit!

Well, to me "Casefic: Undercover as a couple" reads like the nominator wants the focus on the case, and the undercover as couple not necessarily being played for eventual sex or leading to a relationship.

Unlike the "Undercover as Couple" that in fic exchanges can in some cases be just a romantic trope set up, where the case-part could be downplayed to give more focus to the characters' real feelings revelation. Like stuck in an elevator, a trope that forces the characters in intimate, revealing situations, but in undercover as couple the elevator is abstract.

I'm not very good to explain, I'm sorry. But I feel that the casefic nominator could not want the trope played for eventual romance, making the tag not redundant?

[sholio]

Yeah, I see what you're saying! And you explained perfectly fine, no worries. :)

Hi,

I am the person who nominated Casefic: Undercover as a couple. What I had in mind is that in order to solve a case, A and B need to be undercover as a couple, otherwise the case doesn't get solved and while they are on the case, they develop feelings. Next time I should add the feelings to be more precise.

Dupes/similar tags:

A dies; B will not stand for this
A is dead; B will not stand for this

Accidental Bonding
Accidental Soulbond
(I would be unsurprised to find that these aren't actually dupes but I'm not really sure what exactly the difference would be -- just metaphysical/empathic bonding without mention of a soul specifically?)

Hurt/Comfort - comfort after a nightmare
Hurt/Comfort: Comfort after a nightmare

[shamebucket]

Duplicate I found:

Hate Sex Turns Unexpectedly Tender
Hate sex turns unexpectly tender

Wandering Tag in “Lucifer Tv” and “MCU” section!

Loki (Marvel)/Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV)

Needs to be in “Crossover Fabdom”, thanks!

~Kameiko

[thedevilchicken]

Thank you, AO3, for this ridiculousness! I'll pick that up (and anything else that's wandering) once noms close - I have a script to find them.

[izayoi_no_mikoto]

Given the discussion above, I'm not sure whether or not we're going to distinguish between tags that are otherwise the same but one has [Category:] attached on the front, but just in case, here's another potential duplicate:

Gestures of loyalty performed in private
Loyalty Kink: Gestures of loyalty performed in private

[(Anonymous)]

Awesome! Don't feel bad, when I tried to sign-up for the WB exchange i couldn't get passed nominating because of the silliness of Ao3, haha!

Thank you! That's all I've seen so far. Thank you for everything!

I noticed a duplicate for The Magnus Archives:

Martin Blackwood/Jonathan "Jon" Sims | The Archivist/Tim Stoker (TMA)
Martin Blackwood/Jonathan Sims/Tim Stoker (TMA)

I'd definitely interpret Accidental Bonding totally different from Accidental Soulbonding, for what it's worth! Like the first being how you can bond with a person normally in real life over the things you have in common or w/e. "Whoops, I didn't mean to end up feeling any connection to this person," sort of thing.

[fencesit]

Ohhhhh of course!!! Thank you anon.
