tagset questions 2022
Hello everyone! As we get ready for the exchange's 2022 round, mods have a few questions about tagset organisation we would like some community feedback on. Note that we are not going back to using 'All Media Types', these are just questions about the fandoms we will pre-load in.
1) Character/Reader Fic: Last year, canon character/reader ships were included in the fandom the character belonged to, e.g. 'Finn (SWST)/Reader' would be under the Star Wars Sequel Trilogy fandom. Are people who are planning to nominate/offer request readerfic happy with this, or would you prefer a separate fandom for character/reader fics?
2) The Disney+ Shows: There seem to be varying levels of overlap here, e.g. The Mandalorian and Book of Boba Fett have a decent amount of crossover, while Kenobi is more separate. Is there enough overlap that combining them into something like a Star Wars (Live Action TV) fandom makes sense? Should only some of them be combined? Should they all be separate? Please chime in if you're planning to nominate/offer/request, not all your mods even have Disney+.
3) Anakin Skywalker | Darth Vader: Anakin and Vader have historically been considered separate characters for ships & when determining ship eligibility requirements due to AO3 choices. This is distinct from our handling of Kylo Ren | Ben Solo, who is harder to break into separate characters, again due to AO3 choices. This year, we're considering combining Anakin | Vader when considering eligibility requirements - e.g. combining all Anakin/x, Vader/x, and Anakin|Vader/x fics - in order to bring the requirements into alignment. If a ship still qualifies, you would still be able to nominate Anakin/x and Vader/x separately in order to indicate the version of the ship that you like, just as you were able to nominate Ben/x and Kylo/x separately last year. How do you all feel about this?
4) Anything else? If you have any other questions or concerns about where certain things go, missing fandoms, fandoms that should be combined, etc, please leave them on this post. Last year's fandoms & descriptions are here.
We are planning to run this on a similar schedule to last year (so nominations opening around September 18th), so please try to get your comments in in the next week-and-a-half or so.

no subject
My 2 cents about the Disney+ shows, I think combining The Mandalorian and The Book of Boba Fett is a good idea. These two directly tie to each other in both plot and characters, it gets difficult to choose which show to nominate ships in when the characters have meaningful interactions in both.
That said, I definitely wouldn't combine all Disney+ shows together. Kenobi has zero overlap with either Mando or TBOBF and Andor seems to be its own thing as well.
