Star Wars Rare Pairs Exchange

Hello Everyone!

Nominations are now closed, we've gone through the existing tagset, and we have one last lingering nomination question.

And before we get to it I just want to say to the nominator, sincerely, thank you for giving me a very good laugh as I realized I would need to seek clarification on this particular count.

Nominations Questions

Syril Karn/Tony the Tiger/Capn Crunch/Count Chocula/Chef Wendell/Snap Crackle & Pop (Cereal)

Nominator, upon reviewing this ship, I realized that Snap Crackle & Pop were nominated with the & relationship. As this exchange does not allow for & relationships, the suggested change to the tag would be Syril Karn/Tony the Tiger/Capn Crunch/Count Chocula/Chef Wendell/Snap/Crackle/Pop (Cereal). However, I recognize that the way this ship is written, it could also refer to one singular entity, named Snap Crackle & Pop. While I do not have a deep familiarity with the cereal fandom, my understanding is that they are three different people. If you intend for this second interpretation, please provide some proof of the nature of the singular entity and possibly a suggestion for clarification of the tag. You are also welcome to suggest the ship with a different cereal mascot all together, if the existential question of whether Snap, Crackle & Pop is one entity or three is too much to contemplate.

If we don't hear back from you within 24 hours, we will approve into the tagset Syril Karn (Any)/Tony the Tiger/Capn Crunch/Count Chocula/Chef Wendell/Snap/Crackle/Pop (Cereal).

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 fandom. In these cases, the mods moved or are working on moving your ship into the closest correct canon. We should be done moving these ships hopefully in the next few hours, if not that then in the next day or so. 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)/Leia Organa (Any)]

If you have more than one relationship in the same fandom, you can add it after the first one, separated by a comma:
Fandom,Relationship,Relationship
[ex: Any Star Wars Crossovers,Ahsoka Tano (Rebels)/Leia Organa (Any),The Armorer (Mando)/Mon Mothma (Any)]
