2025: Nominations Clarifications 2

We have a returning clarification and a few new ones:

Original Work

FM: Cis Male Serial Rapist/Serial Killer Who Is Not Cis Male (OW)

This nomination seems to fit better under “Other:” unless you mean that the Serial Killer Character is female (either cis or trans), which could be clarified as FM: Cis Male Serial Rapist/Female Serial Killer (OW). If we do not receive clarification, this tag will be approved as Other: Cis Male Serial Rapist/Serial Killer Who Is Not Cis Male (OW)

Deranged Queen/Unwaveringly Loyal Knight (OW)

Nominator, this tag is missing a category. If you have a preference for the gender of the Loyal Knight, please let us know if this tag should be FM or FF. If you do not have a preference, or if we do not hear from you, we will approve this tag as Other: Deranged Queen/Unwaveringly Loyal Knight (F/Any) (OW).

Man Who Doesn't Believe In Magic/His Witch Girlfriend Who Is Secretly Turning Him Into Her Ideal Man One Spell At A Time (OW)

Nominator, this tag is missing a category, would it be alright to approve this as “FM: Man Who Doesn't Believe In Magic/His Witch Girlfriend Who Is Secretly Turning Him Into Her Ideal Man One Spell At A Time (OW)” ?

MF: Older Brother Picking her Up from a Party/Wild Child Younger Sister Clad only in Body Pain (OW)

Nominator, did you mean: MF: Older Brother Picking her Up from a Party/Wild Child Younger Sister Clad only in Body Paint (OW)? If we do not hear from you we will approve this tag as it was originally nominated.

Multi: Dragon who Can Assume Human Form/Monster Huntress Pursuing Him (OW)

Nominator, this tag appears to consist of two individuals, would you prefer us to approve this as: Multi: Dragon who Can Assume Human Form/Monster Huntresses Pursuing Him (OW) or Other: Dragon who Can Assume Human Form/Monster Huntress Pursuing Him (OW)? If we do not hear from you, we will approve this tag as Other: Dragon who Can Assume Human Form/Monster Huntress Pursuing Him (OW).

Princess & Her Emotional Support Dragon & Her Parents Who Don't Approve (OW)

Nominator, this tag is missing a category. We would like to approve it under Multi: Princess & Her Emotional Support Dragon & Her Parents Who Don't Approve (OW), would that be alright with you?

Warrior Abandoned by His Allies/ Gentle Monster in the Woods (OW)

Nominator, this tag is missing a category. Would it be alright to approve this one as Other: Warrior Abandoned by His Allies/ Gentle Monster in the Woods (OW)?

Woman Newly Cursed To Be A Succubus/Witch Looking To Turn Her Into A Familiar (OW)

Nominator, this tag is missing a category. If you would like a gender ambiguous Witch Character, please let us know, otherwise we will approve this tag as FF: Woman Newly Cursed To Be A Succubus/Witch Looking To Turn Her Into A Familiar (OW).

Please also feel free to comment below and let us know about any wandering tags, dupes, misspellings, and any other relevant tagset cleanup questions!

Tagset | Automagic App | idficmod@gmail.com

Nominations have closed!

Our next step is tagset cleanup, where we chase down all the duplicate tags and wandering ships and wrestle them back into order.

You can help with this — if you’ve spotted any tags that are misplaced or identical, or if you find any while perusing the nominated tags at either of the links above, please let us know via a comment on this post. If you’ve already flagged one for us on a previous tag query post, no need to resubmit, but if you’ve mentioned them on discord, please do let us know here.

In the meantime, we will busy at work approving the last batch of nominations, and there will be a second nominations clarifications post coming soon.

idficmod

Hello! We have just under 24 hours before nominations close for the 2025 round of Id Pro Quo.

See the countdown here.

After nominations close, we will put out a final clarifications post, and a tagset cleanup post so people can submit duplicate character/ship nominations and any other edits that need to be made for our tagsets to be nice and shiny!

idficmod

Hello Hello! We have some nominations that need clarifications!

DCU (Comics)

Hal Jordan (Green Lantern)/Dinah Lance/Oliver Queen

Is this meant to be a general DCU Comics nomination or one that’s escaped from Green Lantern? Original nominator please either renominate as Hal Jordan/Dinah Lance/Oliver Queen (DCU Comics) or otherwise disambiguate for Green Lantern/indicate the correct fandom this nomination falls under!

Original Work

Arendin Silverleaf/Rain Silverleaf (The Ancient One OW)
Arendin Silverleaf/Rain Silverleaf/Raven Nightshade (The Ancient One OW)
Elrond Thorne/Pete Whitmore (The Ancient One OW)

Nominator, these nominations appear to be for specific characters and a specific original work. Please nominate this under its own recursive fandom (The Ancient One - Author Name, or other applicable fandom name). We do not take specific characters under original work. Only properly formatted trope-type original work characters can be nominated under this fandom, for example: FF: Exiled Princess/Loyal Knight (OW).

FM: Cis Male Serial Rapist/Serial Killer Who Is Not Cis Male (OW)

Nominator, this nomination seems to fit better under “Other:” unless you mean imply that the Serial Killer Character is female (either cis or trans), which could be clarified as FM: Cis Male Serial Rapist/Female Serial Killer (OW). Would this work, or should we approve this nomination as Other: Cis Male Serial Rapist/Serial Killer Who Is Not Cis Male (OW)?

Tagset | Nominations Guidelines | Collection | Automagic App |idficmod@gmail.com

Nominations are open a little early! Please see the links above for nominations guidelines and where to nominate. Several reminders:

All of the 2024 freeform tags have been ported over to the 2025 tagset, but in the process, any tags with special characters have been a little bit borked. These should be largely fixed, but if you spot any of these please feel free to drop a comment on this post, or any nominations clarifications post going forward!

Some nomination rules have been updated for clarity, please check back in with our schedule-rules post to see the changelog for 2025.

idficmod

Freeforms in IPQ are traditionally a free-for-all. This cleanup is intended solely to remove redundancies, improve alphabetization/sorting, and make fandom-specific tags easier to find. Other than fandoms, we didn't add categories to tags that didn't already have them. (For example, Casual Cock Warming for Comfort has not been filed under Cockwarming.) We only removed exact duplicates; if two tags were almost but not exactly the same, both versions remain. Almost all of your tags will be right where you left them. If we got anything wrong, let us know.

Redundancies

Canon Divergence AU

Removed, as Alternate Universe - Canon Divergence is already in the tagset.

Cock Warming

Removed, as Cockwarming is already in the tagset.

consensual-non-consent

Removed, as Consensual Non-Consent is already in the tagset.

Public Sex or Semi-Public Sex - Team/Coworkers/Friends/etc. Could Walk in at Any Moment

Removed, as Public or Semi-Public Sex - Team/Coworkers/Friends/etc. Could Walk in at Any Moment is already in the tagset.

Pussy Spanking

Removed, as Impact - Pussy Spanking is already in the tagset.

Find the final fandom/ship related queries below. Responses to this post will be accepted for 24 hours, after which we will change or reject any remaining pending nominations, and then sign-ups will open. That being said, sign-ups will be opening a day late to allow time for responses to this post (separate post about the delay to follow).

General Queries

Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. (TV): HYDRA & Lincoln Campbell (AoS)
We will change this to "Any HYDRA Member(s) & Lincoln Campbell" unless the nominator feels this meaningfully changes the tag.

DC Extended Universe: Diana (Wonder Woman)/Alfred Pennyworth (DCEU), Diana (Wonder Woman)/Barbara Minerva (DCEU), Diana (Wonder Woman)/Harleen Quinzel (DCEU), Diana (Wonder Woman)/Lois Lane (DCEU)
Are these meant to go under Crossover Fandom, or is "(Wonder Woman)" being used to clarify who Diana is? If this is the case, can "Diana (Wonder Woman)" be changed to just "Wonder Woman"?

Harry Potter - J. K. Rowling: Harry Potter/Multiple female characters
We will change this to "Harry Potter/Any Two or More Female Characters" unless the nominator feels this meaningfully changes the tag.

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Avengers Team Members (MCU)
We will change this to "Any Two or More Avengers Team Members (MCU)" unless the nominator feels this meaningfully changes the tag.

A Song of Ice and Fire & Related Fandoms: Aemond Targaryen/Lucerys Velaryon (ASoIaF & related)
ASOIAF and GOT are both already in the tagset. Please choose one, if there is no response we will change it to ASOIAF.

Assassin's Creed - All Media Types
We'd like to avoid AMT fandoms where possible--can this be changed to Assassin's Creed Games?

Danny Phantom: Danny Fenton & Justice League (DCU), Danny Fenton/Jason Todd
These are crossover ships and should go under Crossover Fandom. We will move them, but there are multiple iterations of the Justice League and Jason Todd--please clarify how these should be disambiguated.

DCU: Batfamily Members & Justice League & Members of the Team (Young Justice) & Bruce Wayne, Billy Batson & Bruce Wayne, Billy Batson & Clark Kent, Billy Batson & Justice League, Clark Kent & Kon-El | Conner Kent, Clark Kent & Lex Luthor, Clark Kent/Bruce Wayne, Clark Kent/Lex Luthor, Tim Drake & Dick Grayson & Jason Todd & Bruce Wayne & Damian Wayne, Tim Drake/Kon-El | Conner Kent
Can these go under "DCU (Comics)" which is already in the tagset?

Fate/stay night & Related Fandoms
We'd like to avoid "& Related Fandoms" where possible--can this be changed?

Marvel (Comics): Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (616), Steve Rogers/Tony Stark (Ultimates)
Marvel (Comics) contains disambiguations for both 616 and Ultimates--should these be split into two fandoms or is it okay for them to both be under Marvel (Comics)?

Marvel (Comics): Tony Stark/Tony Stark
Is this referring to a canonical double or universe crossing, or something else?

Star Wars - All Media Types (Original Characters): Original Male Hutt/Any Female Non-Hutt Character (SWOC), Original Male Hutt/Original Human Female Bounty Hunter (SWOC), Original Male Hutt/Original Twi'lek Dancing Girl (SWOC)
We'd like to avoid AMT fandoms where possible. Can this be changed to "Star Wars (Movies)"?

XCOM (Video Games) & Related Fandoms
We'd like to avoid "& Related Fandoms" where possible. Can this be changed?

Queries

Please clarify whether B wants to get pregnant, or wants to impregnate A. If there's no response in 24 hours, this will be changed to Char A is desperate to get pregnant; Char B wants to impregnate A but thinks they shouldn't.

Rejections

alternate universe - nominated male characters are women
alternate universe - gender changes m/m to f/f
alternate universe - all requested male characters are women
genderbend to all female ship

The tagset already contains Always A Different Sex - M/M to F/F, Always A Different Gender - M/F to F/F, Alternate Universe - Nominated Male Character Assigned Female at Birth, Alternate Universe - Requested Male Character is A Woman, and Alternate Universe - Requested Male Characters Are Women, as well as Alternate Universe - Rule 63 and Alternate Universe - Always a Different Sex, so these tags have been rejected.

Incest - incestious a/b/o

The tagset already contains Omegaverse - Normalized Incest, so this has been rejected.

idficmod

Thanks to everyone who nominated. We will take the next couple of days to finish approving the backlog of nominations and make final query posts, and sign-ups will open on the 27th.

idficmod

Changes

Identity Porn-general

Changed to Identity Porn.

Queries

If you are the nominator of one of these tags, please rephrase it to clarify the meaning, or comment here if you need help finding an unambiguous phrasing.

Gender or Sex Swap

We already have Alternate Universe - Rule 63 in the tagset. Is this meant to be a gender or sex swap that takes place within the work itself? If so, please make that clear in the tag. If there is no response or change before nominations close, we will rephrase this to Character Experiences a Gender or Sex Swap.

Size Kink - Bottom is Much Bigger than Top

"Size kink" more commonly refers to kinking on sizable penetration. Is that what you meant here, or are you looking for size difference—that is, the bottom being much taller/broader/heavier than the top? If there is no response or change before nominations close, we will rephrase this to Size Difference - Bottom Is Much Larger Than Top.

Parent refuses to teach their child about sex so they're easier to groom

The "so" here is ambiguous. Did you mean that the parent deliberately makes the child easier to groom by keeping them ignorant of sex, or that the child is coincidentally easier (perhaps for a third party) to groom because of the parent's unrelated (perhaps well-intentioned) choices about sex education? Or you can leave it ambiguous if you're fine with either interpretation. If there is no response or change before nominations close, we will approve this as-is.

idficmod

Reminders
- Remember to disambiguate all nominations with the full or abbreviated canon name.
- Please properly capitalize your nominations, including both character names and canon names in disambiguations.

idficmod

Welcome to Id Pro Quo 2024! Nominations are now open. Nominate here. Please refresh your memory of the rules for nominating fandoms, ships, and additional tags (freeforms).

We have imported all of last year's freeforms into this year's tagset, so you can use your 10 freeform slots for all-new iddy goodness. Please check what's in the tagset before nominating! Note that if you're looking for omegaverse freeforms, a deprecated term beginning with "A/" has been replaced with "omegaverse" throughout the tagset, so many of those will now be alphabetized under O. Please use "omegaverse" in new nominations.

Watch this space for queries.

lailah_tov

Nominations are closed. The tagset contains 3600 ships in 574 fandoms, and nearly 1700 freeforms.

A thousand thanks to the removers of pipes and adders of canons. The queue has been cleared, and we're down to a very achievable list of questions. We did take the initiative on de-piping some nominations in order to keep approvals moving; please let us know if we got any wrong.

Also many thanks to the eagle-eyed spotters of duplicates. Please keep those reports coming.

We've received reports of tags wandering between MDZS - MXTX and The Untamed; let us know if you spot something with the disambiguation for one categorized under the other.

Several Original Work ships labeled Multi have been moved to Other, and vice versa. We've clarified the rules on what to do if a ship could conceivably fall into either category; in brief, Multi is for 3+ humans and/or humanoids (vampires, ghosts, etc.) of any gender assortment, and Other is for any ship where at least one participant is non-human and non-humanoid (pet kittens, tentacle monsters, etc.) as well as for 2-human(oid) ships with unspecified or nonbinary genders.

If l'esprit d'escalier strikes and you think of a freeform that you absolutely must add, let us know and we will add one per person. This offer ends when sign-ups open. We cannot add new fandoms or ships at this stage.

Fandoms

1: Pheris Erondites (Queen's Thief) was inadvertently entered as a fandom. We rejected it as a fandom but added it manually as a ship under the fandom The Queen's Thief - Megan Whalen Turner. Please let us know if it should be somewhere else.

The following fandoms have 0 ships and will be removed:

The Lord of the Rings (Movies) Ocean's Echo - Everina Maxwell

If you meant to nominate ships for them and something has gone terribly awry, let us know.

Relationships

~~Dimension 20 (Web Series): Since these piped nominations came in relatively late, we will give you 24 hours to let us know how to fix them before we delete them.~~

I Was a Teenage Exocolonist (Video Game), All Romancable Exocolonists (Relationship): Are you shipping all these people with one another, or with someone else? Is it / or & shipping? Will people in this fandom know who is, and is not, included in this group?

Original Work, Closeted trans woman who wants to be force femmed/Knowing out trans woman (OW): What does "knowing" mean here? Generally savvy or wise? Aware of what the other woman wants?

Stranger Things (TV 2016), 1: Any Older Teen (Stranger Things): Will people in this fandom know who is, and is not, included in this group? Does it need to be made more specific to avoid being interpreted as including a random 17-year-old side character or OC?

~~The Terror (TV 2018): We plan to split Any Character or Ship (The Terror TV) into 1: Any Character and Any Ship unless you have a strong feeling about keeping this in one tag.~~

Young Justice (Cartoon), First Six Members of the Team (Relationship): Are you shipping all these people with one another, or with someone else? Is it / or & shipping? Will people in this fandom know who is, and is not, included in this group?

Freeforms

Seducing a third character into a threesome and then realizing they actually just want each other: "They" is open to misinterpretation. Could this be rephrased as A/B Seduce C into a Threesome; Then A/B Realize They Only Want Each Other, or is something else meant?

twisted soulmate au: What is meant by "twisted"? Please clarify.

lailah_tov

For those not familiar with AO3's delightful and wonderful tag approval interface, it will only show a limited selection of tags in the queue, and can become so clogged by unapprovable tags that no further approvals are possible. That is currently the case with the IPQ tag queue.

If you nominated ships where a character's name has a pipe character | in it, please edit them to use only one name for that character. For example, Andy | Andromache of Scythia/Quynh | Noriko (The Old Guard 2020) should be changed to Andy/Quynh (The Old Guard 2020). If a pipe is needed to distinguish between two similarly named characters, comment and let us know.

If you nominated Crossover Fandom ships, please give the canon for each character in parentheses after the character name. For example, Ninth Doctor (DW 2005)/Willy Wonka (Willy Wonka books - Dahl).

Once nominations close, we will do our best to fix nominations where we know what the fix is, but remaining incorrectly formatted nominations may be rejected so we can get to the rest of the queue.

A full final clarification post will be made tomorrow.

lailah_tov

Fandoms

All good!

Relationships

General requests

When nominating in a fandom with multiple similarly named canons, please disambiguate with the name of the specific canon, e.g., Witcher TV rather than The Witcher.

Please check the tagset before nominating to minimize duplication, especially if you're nominating within a large fandom.

When nominating Canon Character/Original Character(s), please put the disambiguation at the end of the ship, as in Canon Character/Original Character (Canon Name), so it doesn't look like a crossover.

Original Work nominators:

- Nomination formatting in this exchange is a little different from most other exchanges. Please check the rules and make sure your nominations are formatted correctly.

- If you nominated ships with multiple genders, please specify gender for each character unless the language of the nomination is inherently gendered. We assume an heiress is female and a widower is male, but words such as rogue, gold-digger, knight, socialites, and demon are unclear. The FM prefix is used for both Male Character/Female Character and Female Character/Male Character ships. Use any if you don't care what gender the character is.

Specific queries

Please remove piping from nominations in the following fandoms, or let us know if it's needed for disambiguation:

Dark (TV 2017)
~~Dark Matter (TV)~~
Death Note (Anime & Manga)
Don Carlos | Don Carlo - Verdi/du Locle/Méry
Fire Emblem: Kakusei | Fire Emblem: Awakening
~~Fire Emblem: Seisen no Keifu | Fire Emblem: Genealogy of the Holy War~~
House of the Dragon (TV)
Overwatch (Video Game) (will be rejected in 24 hours if not fixed)
The Boys (TV 2019)
陈情令 | The Untamed (TV) (will be rejected in 24 hours if not fixed; also, many of these ships are already in the tagset, so please check there first and remove duplicate nominations)

The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells: For the nomination Murderbot (Murderbot Diaries) & Other(s), does "Other(s)" mean "Any Character(s)" or literally anyone including OCs, reader, crossovers, etc.? Please clarify. If not fixed in 24 hours, we will change to "Any Character(s)".

Original Work: For Other: Reclusive Witch & Wizard Sent to Kill Her & Orphans Abandoned In The Woods (OW), please add genders and clarify whether the wizard has been sent to kill both the witch and the orphans, or only the witch. If not fixed in 24 hours, we will change to "Reclusive Witch (F) & Orphans Abandoned in Woods (any) & Wizard Sent to Kill Witch (M)".

Please correctly format the following ships with prefixes and genders:

Character from an A/B/O world/character without a secondary gender that doesn't understand what's up
Leader of a motorbike gang/Stripper
Priest/The succubus that enslaved him
Tentacle monster / or & scientist studying it (also, please split this into a / nomination and an & nomination)
Tentacle monster/sleeping victim

Freeforms

Boot kink - A forces B rub off on their boot as a "favour" -- Is this meant to be a favor to A or to B? If not clarified in 24 hours, we will change to "as a 'favour' to B".

Updates to the rules

We've added a rule to codify a common bit of exchange etiquette: The only recipient of your work should be the person whose request you are fulfilling. Please do not gift works to multiple recipients, even if they have similar requests and even if your creation is a non-assignment treat.

The rules post also now has instructions for how to fulfill an assignment or post a treat on AO3, clarifies that treats do not have to meet assignment requirements, and notes that the collection is moderated and not to panic if work approvals take a few days (there are only two of us!).

Fandoms

Several fandoms have been nominated where the only nomination is a crossover. We will give these 24 hours and then associate crossover ships with Crossover Fandom and reject fandoms with no remaining nominated ships.

Relationships

General requests

When nominating in a fandom with multiple similarly named canons, please disambiguate with the name of the specific canon, e.g., Witcher TV rather than The Witcher.

Please check the tagset before nominating to minimize duplication, especially if you're nominating within a large fandom.

When nominating Canon Character/Original Character(s), please put the disambiguation at the end of the ship, as in Canon Character/Original Character (Canon Name), so it doesn't look like a crossover.

Original Work nominators:

- Nomination formatting in this exchange is a little different from most other exchanges. Please check the rules and make sure your nominations are formatted correctly.

- If you nominated ships with multiple genders, please specify gender for each character unless the language of the nomination is inherently gendered. We assume an heiress is female and a widower is male, but words such as rogue, gold-digger, knight, socialites, and demon are unclear. The FM prefix is used for both Male Character/Female Character and Female Character/Male Character ships. Use any if you don't care what gender the character is.

Specific queries

Crossover nominators, please ignore the text at the top of the nomination form (which AO3 provides and we cannot change) and nominate crossovers under Crossover Fandom. Crossovers between subfandoms, such as Sixth Doctor (DW 1963)/Thirteenth Doctor (DW 2005), should also be nominated under Crossover Fandom. We will give existing misplaced crossover nominations 24 hours and then associate them with Crossover Fandom.

Please remove piping from nominations in the following fandoms, or let us know if it's needed for disambiguation:

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (TV 2018) (will be rejected in 24 hours if not fixed)
Dark Matter (TV) Fate/Grand Order (if you nominated as Character | Class, please reformat as Class Character)
~~Fire Emblem~~
Overwatch (Video Game)
陈情令 | The Untamed (TV)
~~魔道祖师 - 墨香铜臭 | Módào Zǔshī - Mòxiāng Tóngxiù~~

Assassin's Creed - All Media Types: We're not sure how Hercule Poirot (Agatha Christie: Poirot TV) & Sherlock Holmes (Sherlok Holmes - ACD Novels) ended up here, but please nominate it under Crossover Fandom.

~~Blake's 7: For the nomination Bayban/Any (Blake’s 7), does "Any" mean "Any Character" or literally anyone including OCs, reader, crossovers, etc.? Please clarify.~~

The Murderbot Diaries - Martha Wells: For the nomination Murderbot (Murderbot Diaries) & Other(s), does "Other(s)" mean "Any Character(s)" or literally anyone including OCs, reader, crossovers, etc.? Please clarify.

MCU: Loki/Thor is now in the tagset, so we will reject Catboy!Loki/Dogboy!Thor. If you want this specific dynamic, it's fine to nominate it as a freeform.

Original Work: For Other: Reclusive Witch & Wizard Sent to Kill Her & Orphans Abandoned In The Woods (OW), please add genders and clarify whether the wizard has been sent to kill both the witch and the orphans, or only the witch.

Freeforms

We have been advised that some Supernatural-specific freeforms include spoilers. It's fine to keep nominating these, but if you care about avoiding spoilers for that show, take caution when reading the S section of the freeforms. All those freeforms appear to start with the "SPN:" prefix.

Boot kink - A forces B rub off on their boot as a "favour" -- Is this meant to be a favor to A or to B?

Nominations are pouring in! Our heartfelt thanks to everyone who removed piping, added disambiguation, and correctly formatted nominations. If you spot errors or duplicates, please let us know.

Fandoms

Thanks to a nonny's excellent suggestion, we have added a fandom called Any Fandom I've Requested for IPQ Before; the rules for nominating and requesting in that fandom are the same as for Any Fandom I've Requested Before.

The Lord of the Rings (Movies) - The nominations under this fandom are disambiguated "LOTR - AMT". Did you mean to nominate The Lord of the Rings - All Media Types? Please adjust your nomination so the fandom and the disambiguation match.

DCU - Comics - Forgive our ignorance, but are "DCU" and "DCU - Comics" the same? Some nominations in this fandom have one disambiguation and some have the other. Also, please check approved nominations to make sure you're not nominating a ship that's already approved.

Relationships

Please remove piping from nominations in the following fandoms, or let us know if it's needed for disambiguation:

19th Century CE RPF Chilling Adventures of Sabrina (TV 2018) Detroit: Become Human (Video Game) Elementary (TV) Final Fantasy VI La Dame de Monsoreau - Alexandre Dumas Marvel Cinematic Universe Pocket Monsters | Pokemon (Main Video Game Series) The Sandman (TV 2022) The Witcher (TV) Wiedźmin | The Witcher (Video Game)

When nominating in a fandom with multiple similarly named canons, please disambiguate with the name of the specific canon, e.g., Witcher TV rather than The Witcher.

MCU nominator of Catboy!Loki/Dogboy!Thor, we admire your creativity, but please put this in as a freeform and nominate Loki/Thor as usual.

Soulmates have marks of those a soulmate cheated on; find third because there is no cheating mark - We're struggling to parse this. Can you clarify? We're happy to help you workshop it to keep it under 100 characters.

I was hoping the nominators or anyone else could clarify about how these tags are different. I am contemplating deleting one and keeping the other.

Nominations are closed!

I will make a final post for any clarifications after I've gone through all the nominations. Hopefully that will be in a few hours.

Some people had issues where AO3 wouldn't let them nominate anymore. I'll be adding your nominations after I've gone through the other nominations. If I forget anything, let me know.
