Hello Everyone!

Nominations are now closed, but we have some lingering questions about a few noms.

Nominations Questions


Currently nominated in Star Wars Legends

  • Jango Fett (Any)/Ahsoka Tano (Rebels)
  • Jango Fett (Any)/Quinlan Vos (TCW)
Nominator, did you intend for any version of Jango Fett, or only as he appears in Legends? If we don't hear from you by tomorrow, 9/24/23, 11:59 PM EST, these will be approved as Jango Fett (Legends)/…

Currently nominated in Star Wars: Legends EU

  • Zhylaw | Lord Marshal/Original Male Character(s)
This appears to be a Chronicles of Riddick character, and the other part of the pairing does not specify the Star Wars Universe. If there is also a legends character with the same name, please clarify below. If you want a Chronicals of Riddik character with an Original Character from the star wars universe, please re-nominate under Crossovers (Non-Star Wars) fandom, and specify what sort of character you want. As it is not currently clear this is a Star Wars pairing, if we don't hear from you by tomorrow, 9/24/23, 11:59 PM EST, this nomination will be deleted.

FAQ


Where did my noms go/why were my noms rejected?


Your noms may have been rejected if you nominated a group of characters, or if you nominated a pairing that was not rare. However, if your nom appears rejected an neither of those things are true, your ship was probably nominated in the wrong canon. In these cases, the mods moved your ship into the closest correct canon. Check in Canon Crossovers, Canon/Legends Crossovers, or Canon EU.

Feel free to ask here for clarification on a specific tag.

Oh no! I forgot a very important tag!


Comment here and we'll try to add it in for you, if it's not too late in the sign-up process. We do request you comment with a specific format, which is:
Fandom,Relationship [ex: Any Star Wars Crossovers,Ahsoka Tano (Rebels)/Enfys Nest (Any)]

If you have more than one relationship in the same fandom, you can add it after the first one, separated by a comma. [ex: Any Star Wars Crossovers,Ahsoka Tano (Rebels)/Enfys Nest (Any),The Armorer (Mando)/L3-37 (Any)]

What if there's something wrong with a tag in the tagset?


If you catch something, please comment here, or go to our Discord server and drop a comment in the #tagset-cleanup channel.

I'm so excited for signups, when do they open?


The schedule has them opening on Tuesday, but that's at the latest. We're going to work to get the tagset cleaned up, and open pretty soon after that! Be on the lookout for information here.

Any other questions, feel free to drop them in the comments below. Anon is on. See you soon for signups!

Hello Everyone!

Noms are coming in and I'm so excited to see what the tagset is becoming! Please review the following post to avoid having your nominations rejected!

Some updates and reminders on the tagset:

General Reminders


Do not use clone numerical designations in the tagset - names only. For example: CC-2224 | Cody/CT-21-0408 | CT-1409 | Echo/CT-27-5555 | ARC-5555 | Fives ‎should be formatted as Cody/Echo/Fives. Please. Save your mods eyes! (While we will reformat these if we have time, we reserve the right to reject nominations that were not formatted correctly. Please check your nominations and make corrections!)

Groups will be rejected (ie: 212 Attack Battalion, Rogue Squadron…). Ships must include individual names.

Corrections Needed


The following involve nominations that need to be changed by the nominator. While your mods will often try to find incorrectly nominated and/or formatted tags the right home, we sometimes don't know what you mean, and sometimes don't have the time to fix all of them. As such, nominations unchanged after 24 hours from posting this may be rejected.

Characters nominated in fandoms they do not appear


If the characters in a relationship do not appear in the same canon, one of the crossover fandoms must be used (Any Crossovers, Canon Crossovers, Canon/Legends Crossovers) to nominate these relationships. The mods can currently see the following characters in the wrong place.

  • Rex is nominated in the OT fandom

  • Evaan Verlaine is in the OT fandom

  • Sana Starros is in the OT fandom

  • Tholme (Legends) is in the PT fandom

  • Quinlan Vos is in Obi-Wan Kenobi fandom

  • Antoc Merrick is in Rebels fandom

  • Luke Skywalker (OT) is in Rebels fandom

  • Leia Organa is in Book of Boba Fett fandom

  • Neteyam te Suli Tsyeyk'itan from Avatar is in TCW fandom

If the named character does belong in the fandom, please reply explaining how. Otherwise, change to the crossover fandom of your wish.

There may be more the mods haven't reviewed yet! Please review your nominations to make sure each character is nominated under the correct fandom. Any left after 24 hours may be rejected by the mods.

Unapproved fandoms used


Please remember - only nominate under the fandoms listed in the nominations post.

The following fandoms currently have nominations in them, which may be rejected by the mods if they remain after 24 hours.

Star Wars - All Media Types - is not an accepted fandom in the tag set. Please change the fandom for any ship in this category. You may:

  • Nominate them as All Star Wars Crossovers - if they show up in multiple canons/different canons and you don't care the what the version is.

  • You can also move them to Canon Crossovers, or Canon/Legends crossovers, if there's a specific version of the relationship you want.

  • If both characters appear in one canon, you can nominate them in that canon.


The nominations in the following fandoms should likely be nominated under Legends EU:

  • Star Wars Legends: Republic Commando (Video Games)


The nominations in the following fandoms should likely be nominated under Canon EU.

  • Star Wars (Marvel Comics)

  • Star Wars: Bloodline - Claudia Gray

  • Star Wars: Leia Princess of Alderaan - Claudia Gray

  • Star Wars: Lost Stars - Claudia Gray

  • Star Wars: Thrawn Series - Timothy Zahn (2017)


Joy and Pain


Congratulations and I'm sorry to the following ships, rejected because they are no longer rare:

  • Jessica Pava/Rey

  • Bail Organa/Breha Organa


We do want everyone to have a fun time and be able to request and write the pairings of their dreams! If you are running out of nomination slots, feel free to join our discord where people are swapping free spaces in each other's sign-ups. Happy nominating!

• We can't see who's nominated what so we can't just ask you directly, you have to pay attention!
• Lingering incorrect nominations may be rejected, but I will always be willing to add the correct versions in for you if you provide correctly formatted tags later on.
