Fellow Sailors

Hello Everyone!

We are well on our way through nominations cleanups, and we've discovered some tags that could use clarification. Please read the following and respond if you see your tag (Anon is on for comments). You are also welcome to respond if it is not your tag, but you think you have input that may help the mods in figuring it out - please clarify that you are not the nominator in that case.

Clarifications

Ordo and Fi

To the mods’ knowledge, there are two characters named Fi, and ‘Ordo’ could refer to different people or even a planet. We suspect there's a decent fandom consensus for these names, and will approve as-is unless Legends fans or the nominator indicate a clarification that would be helpful.

• Fi/Ordo (Legends)


• Fi/Ordo/Maze (Legends)


• Fi/Sev (Legends)


• Fi/Sev/Scorch (Legends)


• Ordo/Maze/Arligan Zey (Legends)


• Ordo/Maze (Legends)

Vague Tags - Canon vs Original

There are a number of nominations that could hypothetically be filled by either a canonical character or an original one. If we don't hear back from you, we will approve as-is. If it's approved them as-is, then your creator can either choose an appropriate character from canon or create an original one that otherwise fulfills the tag. Please comment below if you would like these tags changed to be clear (ex: Any Canonical Female Jedi or Original Female Jedi)

• Bo-Katan Kryze (Disney)/Any Female Jedi (TCW)


• Leia Organa (OT)/Any Female Jedi (TCW)


• Original Female Republic Navy Member/Any Female Jedi (TCW)


• Arla Fett/Any Female Jedi (Any)


• Jedi Master of Choice/Jedi Padawan of Choice (Any)


• Mand'alor of Choice/Mandalorian of Choice (Any)


• Sith Lord of Choice/Sith Apprentice of Choice (Any)


• Any Male New Republic Senator (Any)/Luke Skywalker (Mando)


• Original Female Republic Navy Member/Any Female Jedi (TCW)


• Bil Valen| Sixth Brother/Unidentified Black Sun Agent (Any) (Note - for this one we would suggest Bil Valen| Sixth Brother (Any)/ Canonical Unidentified Black Sun Agent (Ahsoka) if you want the specific Black Sun Agent that appears in the Ahsoka show)


• Rakatan Predor of Choice/Force Hound(s) of Choice

Selfcest

We have rejected the following self-cest pairings, due to the fact that they could hypothetically be fulfilled by a fic about masturbation, and this is outside of the spirit of the exchange. Note - if you want to replace this tag by something that clearly can not be fulfilled by a solo-fun-times fic (ex: Hunter/Time Travelling Older Hunter (TBB)) , please comment your preferred tags below.

• Hunter/Hunter


• Crosshair/Crosshair

Matt the Radar Technician is not Star Wars

Nominator, we get it, but Matt the Radar technician is not, technically, a star wars character. This nomination will appear rejected in your noms, but it can be found in Crossovers (Non-Star Wars) as "Matt the Radar Technician(SNL)/Rick the Door Technician (Any)". P.S. - your nom made me laugh, thank you.

General Information

You may also see some rejections coming in. These generally happen for one of two reasons - the nomination was in the wrong fandom (ex: including Disney Canon characters in Legends fandom nominations) or the nomination is no longer rare (Congrats and I'm Sorry). If you have any questions about rejections/nominations in general, feel free to reach out to the mods on discord, via email, or comment below, anon is on.

What's next?

We've reviewed somewhere around 400-500 tags today, but there's still some more to go! We may need to issue a further clarifications post, but once the tags are all reviewed and the tagset is cleaned up, sign ups will open!

Hello Everyone!

Nominations are now closed, however, don't panic if your noms haven't been approved! We've still got a lot of tagset to review, and probably at least one clarifications post to put up. Watch this space!

Next Steps

The mods need to finish reviewing and finalizing the tagset. As we do that, we will post any lingering clarification questions, likely tomorrow.

FAQ

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

Your noms may have been rejected if you nominated a group of characters, if you nominated a pairing that was not rare, or if you nominated in the wrong fandom. If you are disappointed an otherwise eligible ship did not make it in, please see the next question!

Oh no! I forgot a very important tag! What do I do?

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: 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: Star Wars Crossovers,Ahsoka Tano (Rebels)/Leia Organa (Any),The Armorer (Mando)/Mon Mothma (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 Wednesday, 11:59 EST. We're going to work to get the tagset cleaned up, and if we're able to do that ahead of schedule, we may even open ahead of schedule! Be on the lookout for information here.

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