unconventionalfanworkexBelow are some questions about tags waiting to be approved. If you are the nominator, or have relevant information (e.g. if it is a question about a fandom you're in), please comment to respond. Anonymous commenting should be on.
A few general notes:
- Please remember to disambiguate with large fandoms or fandoms that overlap with others! If you are confused about whether you need to disambiguate or not, you can contact me if you wish, but for this exchange, it's safe to assume that more disambiguation is better than less: if you're not sure, disambiguate.
- Please remember to preface your freeform nomination(s) with one of the general categories detailed in the nomination guidelines post here.
- If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to comment on the rules post, direct message me here on Dreamwidth, or email me at flowersforgravesfics (at) gmail (dot) com. If you message me on Discord, I may forget, and if you comment on an ffa thread or similar I guarantee you I won't see it. I would like to fix any problems you have, and I can't do that if you don't contact me in a place where I can be organized about trying to help!
Fandom/Character Clarifications:
Star Trek: Deep Space Nine
- If your character and relationship tags have not been approved, please remember to disambiguate them!
Star Trek: Voyager
- I may have made an error approving tags -- if you nominated "Crew of the Starship Voyager" twice and therefore lost a slot, please let me know if you'd like me to add an extra tag to replace the slot you lost.
Freeform/Medium Clarifications:
Interactive Fiction -- "Style - Interactive Fiction" is already in the tagset. Does this tag meet your needs? If so, you may delete your current nomination; if not, please format it with a category tag and clarify how your nomination differs from the umbrella IF tag.
Crafts and Games - Hack -- I'm pretty sure you mean a tabletop rpg hack, here, but please clarify regardless. Also, I'm wondering if there should be a phrasing change here, as I think "reskin a game like Honey Heist" vs "create a new subclass for Pathfinder" can be massively different in terms of both result and effort level, which would alter the minimum. I would love input from not just the nominator but others as well here.
Style - Comic Script -- this one may very well be my ignorance, but a cursory google search shows that there isn't really a set form for a comic script, and that the use of the term varies between "a script for a comic" and "a comedic script." Would "Style - Comedic Script" or "Style - Comedic Screenplay" work for the second? I'm very open to suggestions here, especially if you meant the first.
Style - Drone/Robot/AI POV -- I'm a little concerned about the potential for this tag to be interpreted as "conventional." I think I understand what you're getting at here (and I think it's very cool), but an otherwise traditional fic written from the perspective of a robotic character would technically fulfill this tag. Would something like "Style - Artificial Lifeform Thought Process POV" work?

Date: 2021-04-03 10:05 am (UTC)I'm the nominator for 'Style - Drone/Robot/AI POV'! I understand your concern, and I agree that adding 'Thought Process' would work, but I'm concerned that Artificial Lifeform may not be clear enough. Maybe 'Style - Drone/Robot/AI Thought Process POV'?
