Nominations Closed!

[lbdmod]

Nominations have closed! Thank you to everyone who nominated, we currently have over 600 fandoms in the tagset. Nominations will reopen once the signups for the main collection have closed so that people may continue to nominate for the Little Black Dress Madness collection.

We'll be taking the next couple of days to correct wandering tags and duplicates in the tagset. Thank you so much to everyone who has assisted with these; we will continue to address these comments over the coming days. In the meantime, please consult the tagset and ensure that every character you've nominated has ended up in the right place. If a fandom has been incorrectly associated or a disambiguation is incorrect, we would would much prefer to correct this prior to signups opening.

On a related note, if you have forgotten to nominate a character (let's face it, we've all been there), we can manually add these characters to the tagset up to one hour prior to signups opening. This means May 17th 8am UTC. Please comment with both the fandom and character(s) correctly formatted and with the correct disambiguation, and we will add them to the tagset for you.

We look forward to seeing you in a couple of days for signups! We will be posting signup guidelines at that time, and both the mods plan on signing up in advance to give you an example of how requests may be structured for an exchange of this nature (you can see one example here). Signups open May 17 9am UTC. See you then!

- I misspelled a character name under Ouran High School Host Club - All Media Types; could that be fixed? Fujioka Haruhia (Ouran) should be Fujioka Haruhi (Ouran)

- Stranger Things (TV 2016) has a duplicate:
Steve Harrington (Stranger Things (TV 2016))
Steve Harrington (Stranger things)

- And TUA appears twice on the list. It looks like one is split into female characters and one into male characters, so maybe it's covered under the rule "If in doubt, nominate your character in a smaller piece of your canon and opt-in to the larger one"? But it is the same canon. The Umbrella Academy (TV) has only male characters and Umbrella Academy (TV) only female.

Thank you for your comment, the first two have been corrected!

With the TUA nom, the male and female characters very much exist in the same canon, so I think this was just a nomination error. Those noms have been consolidated, thanks for mentioning it to us!

Thank you!

Can you add Kara Jor-El | Power Girl (Ame-Comi Girls) to Ame-Comi Girls, please?

Done!

I apologize for being late, but could Frederic of Serault (DA:I) from Dragon Age: Inquisition be added?

[lbdmod]

No problem, he's in!

[daken]

Allow me to beg for Raymond Smith (The Gentlemen) from The Gentlemen (2019) to be added, please!

[lbdmod]

He's in!

Sorry for being super late to mention this, but there's a duplicate in Persona 5: Kurusu Akira (Persona 5) and Amamiya Ren (Persona 5) are actually the same person. (In the game he doesn't have a set name, and the manga and anime adaptations each gave him different names.) Could they be combined into one character? AO3 uses the metatag "Persona 5 Protagonist" to cover both of his names, if that helps.

[lbdmod]

All good, thanks for flagging this! It's not too late for us to fix this. How would you feel about us changing it to "Persona 5 Protagonist"?

[relle]

That would be good, I think! Most other exchanges I've done either use Persona 5 Protagonist or just use the first name that was nominated.

(I'm not the one who nominated either of the original tags, to be clear, but I will probably be requesting the character during signups.)

[lbdmod]

If it's clear to the people in the fandom, then it's good enough for us! It's been fixed, thanks for letting us know!
