Nominations clarifications #1

[fadmods]

There is slightly more a week left to nominate from this post. We have approved almost all nominations so far. Below are issues/queries relating to the few that are still outstanding.

"All Media Types" and "& Related Fandoms" tags

We generally prefer to avoid these, though we will allow them where they are the most appropriate fandom tag to use. (We have already approved Assassin's Creed and Star Wars: The Clone Wars as AMT tags, for example.)

• Dragon Age - All Media Types - please adjust nominations to be for "Dragon Age (Video Games)" instead, unless these ships are specifically from non-video-game material
  
• Mods are not personally familiar with Overlord - Maruyama Kugane & Related Fandoms and 涼宮ハルヒ | Suzumiya Haruhi - All Media Types - if these are the best tags to use for these fandoms, please explain why.
  

Tags needing more specific detail

• Dragon Age (Video Games) - please replace Female Giant Spider/Any Female Character with one or more ships involving specified characters (including OCs, if desired)
  
• Crossover Fandom - please provide specific fandoms for all characters in the following:
  
  • Mia Allen/Nancy Holbrook
    
  • Poison Ivy (Any)/Buffy Summers (BtVS)
    
  • Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa/Katherine Pierce
    
  • Santanico Pandemonium | Kisa/Sonja (Skinwalkers)
  
  

Eligibility query

• Kid Icarus: Uprising - Palutena (Kid Icarus)/Female!Pit (Kid Icarus) Does Female!Pit appear in the game? If there isn't a canonical Female!Pit then this would be outside the scope of this exchange. (Pit is the player character, but online sources invariably refer to him as male - if it's the sort of game where the gender of the player character can be selected, that's fine.)

I believe female!Pit is a genderbend. I've played both the original Kid Icarus and Uprising, and unless there's some deep lore I don't know about, there's never been a canon female version of Pit.

Thank you very much for the extra information, very helpful.

We'll wait to see if the nominator weighs in, but unless we receiving convincing evidence from them, we'll end up rejecting this tag.

Hello, I'm the nominator for Female!Pit and I'm a dingus! I should have put it as Genderbend!Pit or something like that, but it didn't register in my mind at that time as to how to word that.

I did intend for it to be a genderbended Pit if that is okay! There is no canon female Pit in the game

I went and took the plunge and attempted to edit the nomination to Genderbend!Pit instead! I don't do exchanges very often or know how to word things super well. Let me know if that's okay or if I should change or do anything different. Sorry for the trouble!

The eligibility requirement (per here) is:

"All characters in each ship must canonically identify as women, or a reader/viewer must be able to reasonably infer that they do."

It doesn't sound as though that applies in this case, if canonically Pit is always male?

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah Pit's always male.

I didn't realize it meant genderbends weren't allowed but that's fine. I'm very aware Pit isn't canonically genderbent or genderswapped or female, just thought it'd be fun to have either an AU where he is a female already or turns into one (and obviously accepts it) aND THEN the ship happens. Something like that

Either way, if it's not allowed it's not really an issue and is cool if it can't be nominated. I'll just edit it off, sorry for the misunderstanding
