yuletide_adminQuery Post Two
We are ~93 hours into tag approving! We began with 6078 individual fandom nominations to sort (where if two people submitted the same fandom, that would count twice towards the total). We have 1449 fandom nominations still to sort. Please review the questions below to help us sort them quickly and correctly! And thank you very much for your help so far.
13th Century CE Plantagenet Dynasty RPF - this category contains Edward II and Piers Gaveston, who are also both nominated in 14th Century CE RPF. We intend to approve these under the latter category; let us know if you have concerns. Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Akkadian Empire RPF - We would like to change this to the slightly more general Mesopotamian RPF, which also has a nomination for Enheduanna. Does this work for the nominator? (See also below for another Mesopotamian query.) Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Antiques Roadshow RPF - Nominator, we can’t find Melissa Meuwly. Do you mean Meredith Meuwly? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Batman: Arkham Shadow (Video Game) - we received evidence for this but would like more information, please. Could the nominator, or anyone else who knows this family of games, please help us understand how it is distinct? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
The Breakfast Club (1985) - Brian Johnson’s parents are distinct characters and so we are not willing to approve them as a unit. Nominator, would you like to pick a parent? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Brilliant Minds (TV 2024) - We have nominations for Nico Silva and Scotty Silva. As far as we can tell, these are names given at different times in promotional material for a character played by Al Calderon, and the character hasn't yet appeared on the show. Since the most recent information we can find refers to Nico Silva, we're inclined to approve as that, but please let us know if this may be a twin situation or something else is going on! Please also note that if we can't be sure this character is appearing in any episodes before the end of sign-ups, we may need to remove them from the tag set. Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid RPF - Both Paul Newman and Robert Redford are also nominated under the fandom Post-Classical Hollywood RPF, so we plan to merge this to that fandom, since people will be free to request or offer only these two characters. Please let us know if you have any concerns. Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Chalion Saga - Lois McMaster Bujold and World of the Five Gods - Lois McMaster Bujold - given that the characters nominated under the canonical tag include some from Hallowed Hunt & the Penric and Desdemona stories, we would like to approve all of these together under World of the Five Gods. Any objections? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Control (Video Game) - We can’t determine if the character “Oldest House” possesses enough sentience to be approved. Nominator, could you describe how the Oldest House is a character please? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Corbenic (Catherine Fisher) - We won’t approve Arthur's Company Ensemble (Corbenic) as this is a group with named members. Nominator, would you like to pick one or two (since you’ve only nominated two other characters)? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Dream Cycle - H. P. Lovecraft - All characters nominated for this fandom (other than Worldbuilding) were approved last year in the fandom Cthulhu Mythos - H. P. Lovecraft; as we have overlapping nominations, we’d like to combine again the same way. Nominator of Worldbuilding (Dream Cycle - H. P. Lovecraft), would Worldbuilding (Cthulhu Mythos) in the fandom Cthulhu Mythos - H. P. Lovecraft work for you, or would you prefer for us to approve Dream Cycle with Worldbuilding as the only character tag? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
End of Summer (1998) - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer). Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Game Changer (Web Series) - Nominator of Brennan Lee Mulligan and Sam Reich, we’d like to approve these characters but add them instead to the fandom CollegeHumor | Dropout RPF; nominator of Cerberus (Game Changer), Minotaur Brennan Lee Mulligan, Elaine Carroll, and Sam Reich, we’d like to approve these characters under Game Changer: Samalamadingdong (see below), with disambiguations for Elaine and Sam to indicate the fictional-ish versions they portrayed there. Alternatively, if you intended the actual versions of Elaine and Sam, we can move them as well to CollegeHumor | Dropout RPF as you do have a free fandom nomination slot - please let us know if you’d prefer that, or if you have any concerns. Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Game Changer RPF - as the nominated characters are not RPF but rather characters from Game Changer: Samalamadingdong, we’ll approve them under this fandom - please let us know if you have concerns. Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Hear Me Cry (1984) (CBS Schoolbreak Special) Craig and David’s parents are distinct characters and so we are not willing to approve each set of parents as a single unit. Nominator, would you like to pick two of the four parents? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
History Boys - All Media Types - Nominator, we won’t approve this nomination as All Media Types. Would you prefer the book or the play? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Imperial Radch Series - Ann Leckie and Translation State - Ann Leckie - Last year we approved Translation State separately and also approved the Ancillary Trilogy as its own fandom. Radch nominators, it looks like all your characters are in the original trilogy–any concerns with the same solution this year? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Mesopotamian RPF - this includes a nomination for the religious figure Avraham | Abraham | Ibrāhīm. We can see the logic but as the sources for his life are quite different to those of other figures nominated in this category, could we check what you were interested in, please, nominator? We note that Ea-Nasir is also nominated and that Ea-Nasir and Abraham have been discussed together; is there a specific source combining them you would be interested in? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Midsomer Murders - All Media Types - Nominator, we won't approve this nomination as All Media Types. Would you prefer TV or books? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Oxford Time Travel Universe - Connie Willis and To Say Nothing of the Dog: or How We Found the Bishop's Bird Stump at Last - Connie Willis - To Say Nothing nominator, do you have any concerns about combining your nominations with the larger universe? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Palais de Reine (Visual Novel) - We can’t find the character “Astrud”. Nominator, is this “Astrad”, or is it just a different localization? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Strange Antiquities (Video Game) - Could we check please, is the nominated Thaumaturge the player character or the player character's mentor? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Terminator (Movies), Terminator: Genesis (2015), and Terminator: Dark Fate (2019) - Nominators, please make your cases for splitting or combining these. Would it work to keep Genesis separate and combine (Movies 1984 1991 2019) for the rest, since Dark Fate follows Terminator 2? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Tron - All Media Types - We won't approve this nomination as All Media Types. Nominator, please pick a canon. Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Bibi Blocksberg (2002) - Nominator, do you specifically only want the first movie, or may we approve this as the canonical Bibi Blocksberg (Movies 2002 2004)? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Dragonfly - Ursula K. Le Guin, Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin, The Tombs of Atuan - Ursula K. Le Guin - Our understanding is that these are all in the same continuity. We are planning to combine Earthsea and Tombs of Atuan, especially as there is character overlap in those nominations. Dragonfly nominator, do you have concerns with folding that nomination into Earthsea as well? If so, we would appreciate help understanding exactly what you’re looking for and how to differentiate the larger Earthsea universe. Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Patricia Wrede - We won’t approve the character nomination Morwen's Cats (Enchanted Forest) as they are all individually named. Nominators, could you please each choose a cat? (Scorn has already been nominated, and another nominator is fine with either Trouble or Fiddlesticks.) Please link your nominations page when you reply.
MAIJO Otaro - Works - We don’t approve fandoms consisting of all of a creator’s works, and the nominated characters appear to come from at least 2 novels. Nominator, could you pick one of Maijō’s works to nominate, along with the associated characters? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
夢中さ きみに。| Muchuu sa Kimi ni (Manga) - We also have a nomination for the Anime; the nominator of that fandom says they have not read the manga but believes these could be combined if needed. We've heard from two Manga nominators who are OK with combining under Anime & Manga; could we hear from the third please? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Nominations Queries Post 1
Sep. 28th, 2025 07:38 pmyuletidemods posting in yuletide_adminWe are 24 hours into tag approving! We began with 6078 individual fandom nominations to sort (where if two people submitted the same fandom, that would count twice towards the total). We have 3687 fandom nominations still to sort. Please review the questions below to help us sort them quickly and correctly!
Aliens (1986) - These characters are also nominated under the broader fandom Alien (Original Movies 1979-1997), so we would like to merge your nominations in with the rest of the original movies.
Bibi Blocksberg (2002) - Nominator, do you specifically only want the first movie, or may we approve this as the canonical Bibi Blocksberg (Movies 2002 2004)? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Book of Night - Holly Black - We also have evidence for this fandom as the Charlatan Duology, and another participant has nominated it under that name. We’d like to combine your nominations, but please get us in touch if there’s a reason that won’t work. Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Clocktaur War Series - T. Kingfisher, Swordheart - T. Kingfisher, Temple of the White Rat Universe - T. Kingfisher, The Saint of Steel - T. Kingfisher - We have some overlap in these nominations. The fandom as a whole is eligible, so we could combine them under Temple of the White Rat Universe, or the Temple of the White Rat Universe nominator could have their characters split into the other fandoms if you are willing to do that. Please comment with a link to your nominations to help us sort this out!
Cousin Bette - Honoré de Balzac - Nominator, you may see some oddities as we get this set up separately from La Comédie Humaine. Pardon our dust, and hopefully you’re used to it by now! Let us know if anything looks wrong when the final tagset is released.
Designing Women - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer).
Dragonfly - Ursula K. Le Guin, Earthsea - Ursula K. Le Guin, The Tombs of Atuan - Ursula K. Le Guin - Our understanding is that these are all in the same continuity. We are planning to combine Earthsea and Tombs of Atuan, especially as there is character overlap in those nominations. Dragonfly nominator, do you have concerns with folding that nomination into Earthsea as well? If so, we would appreciate help understanding exactly what you’re looking for and how to differentiate the larger Earthsea universe.
Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Patricia Wrede - We won’t approve the character nomination Morwen's Cats (Enchanted Forest) as they are all individually named. Nominators, could you please each choose a cat? (Scorn has already been nominated.) Please link your nominations page when you reply.
MAIJO Otaro - Works - We don’t approve fandoms consisting of all of a creator’s works, and the nominated characters appear to come from at least 2 novels. Nominator, could you pick one of Maijō’s works to nominate, along with the associated characters? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
夢中さ きみに。| Muchuu sa Kimi ni (Manga) - We also have a nomination for the Anime; the nominator of that fandom says they have not read the manga but believes these could be combined if needed. Does the Manga nominator have a preference? Please link your nominations page when you reply. ETA: sorry, we have 3 manga nominators and have heard from 2, so it would be great to hear from the third!
Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer).
Nescafe Advertisment - While this is a canonical fandom on AO3, it’s under review to be renamed, so we’ll approve this as Nescafe "Arctica" | "Polar Explorers" Advertisments (Russia) which is the likely new name. However, we’d like more information on the characters. We’re not sure which of the men is “First Polar” and which is “Second Polar”; some works in the fandom use Ivanov and Petrov. Also, we haven’t seen a polar bear in the 3 ads we’ve found - can you link us to the one that has the polar bear, please?
老洞 | The Old Miao Myth (TV) - Nominator, for the character Jin Bong, are you looking for Chin Pong? We’ve checked several sources and want to confirm whether this is a romanization issue or something else.
Outcast (Video Game series) - this has been nominated with character 'Any' and no other characters. If you mean you are interested in any characters, we will approve this without characters, but we wanted to check just in case there is a character actually named Any. Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Phantom of the Paradise (1974) - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer).
Prophet - Sin Blaché & Helen Macdonald - could we please get more information about 'Prophet' as a character (aside from being the title)?
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer)
Tennis RPF - We have separate nominations for 2020's Men's Tennis RPF (characters: Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, Terence Atmane) and 2025 Grand Slam Season (Tennis) RPF (characters: Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner) - may we combine these under the former fandom name? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

If so, we would appreciate help understanding exactly what you’re looking for and how to differentiate the larger Earthsea universe.
Enchanted Forest Chronicles - Patricia Wrede - We won’t approve the character nomination Morwen's Cats (Enchanted Forest) as they are all individually named. Nominators, could you please each choose a cat? (Scorn has already been nominated.) Please link your nominations page when you reply.
MAIJO Otaro - Works - We don’t approve fandoms consisting of all of a creator’s works, and the nominated characters appear to come from at least 2 novels. Nominator, could you pick one of Maijō’s works to nominate, along with the associated characters? Please link your nominations page when you reply.
夢中さ きみに。| Muchuu sa Kimi ni (Manga) - We also have a nomination for the Anime; the nominator of that fandom says they have not read the manga but believes these could be combined if needed. Does the Manga nominator have a preference? Please link your nominations page when you reply. ETA: sorry, we have 3 manga nominators and have heard from 2, so it would be great to hear from the third!
Mystery Science Theater 3000 - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer).
Nescafe Advertisment - While this is a canonical fandom on AO3, it’s under review to be renamed, so we’ll approve this as Nescafe "Arctica" | "Polar Explorers" Advertisments (Russia) which is the likely new name. However, we’d like more information on the characters. We’re not sure which of the men is “First Polar” and which is “Second Polar”; some works in the fandom use Ivanov and Petrov. Also, we haven’t seen a polar bear in the 3 ads we’ve found - can you link us to the one that has the polar bear, please?
老洞 | The Old Miao Myth (TV) - Nominator, for the character Jin Bong, are you looking for Chin Pong? We’ve checked several sources and want to confirm whether this is a romanization issue or something else.
Outcast (Video Game series) - this has been nominated with character 'Any' and no other characters. If you mean you are interested in any characters, we will approve this without characters, but we wanted to check just in case there is a character actually named Any. Please link your nominations page when you reply.
Phantom of the Paradise (1974) - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer).
Prophet - Sin Blaché & Helen Macdonald - could we please get more information about 'Prophet' as a character (aside from being the title)?
Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) - Nominator, please email us (see contact information in the footer)
Tennis RPF - We have separate nominations for 2020's Men's Tennis RPF (characters: Alejandro Davidovich Fokina, Alex de Minaur, Taylor Fritz, Terence Atmane) and 2025 Grand Slam Season (Tennis) RPF (characters: Carlos Alcaraz, Jannik Sinner) - may we combine these under the former fandom name? Please link your nominations page when you reply.

Optional: If you would like your secret's fandom to be noted in the main post along with the secret itself, please put it in the comment along with your secret. If your secret makes the fandom obvious, there's no need to do this. If your fandom is obscure, you should probably tell me what it is.

Yuletide 2025 Nominations Closed
Sep. 27th, 2025 07:05 amyuletidemods posting in yuletide_adminThank you for your nominations! Nominations are now closed. We have 6078 fandom nominations to sort through: that means that at least 1216 people nominated, but probably more. This is lower than our highest ever number of nominations received previously - 6257 - but higher than last year's 5950 nominations.
So, what happens next?
First there's a pause. We review the information we have already and get our ducks in a row. Then, when we begin to approve your nominations, it won't be in any obvious order. The approvals interface shows us fandoms at random, rather than according to who nominated them or when the nomination was submitted.
Help us get through approvals faster - please keep an eye on this community for questions about nominations we find confusing. In turn, if you are confused by how we've approved your nomination, you can ask us about it. If you submitted evidence close to the end of nominations, we may also have follow-up comments for you; however, we won't be accepting any evidence for new canons now that nominations are closed.
While we approve fandoms, you can:
