Entry tags:

Nomination Clarifications #1

The mods are delighted to see all the robots you're nominating! We do, however, need your help answering some questions about a few noms.

Note: If your relationship tags in a large fandom (namely Star Trek or Star Wars) have been rejected, it's likely because that same relationship was already nominated, but in a different order.

Detroit: Become Human - SOLVED

Isaac Asimov's Caliban - Roger MacBride Allen - SOLVED

Star Child - James P. Hogan - SOLVED

Star Wars - All Media Types
  • There are quite a few ships nominated under this tag. For the nominators, is it at all possible to put them under a tag for a specific Star Wars installment? If yes, please edit your nominated fandoms. If no, the mods may rename this fandom to a separate "Star Wars Crossovers."

Voltron: Legendary Defender - SOLVED

I'm the nominator for Star Child (https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/4108/nominations/148204) and I can confirm that the characters exist and are robotic. The first Goodreads review here https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/849495.Star_Child should be a quick synopsis. Thanks!

Caliban books

Hi,

I nominated the Caliban books. Donald and Prospero are both robots (as is Caliban). The author unhelpfully names many of the robot characters after Shakespeare! There's 3 books: Caliban, Inferno and Utopia. Prospero only appears in the second two but Donald (and Caliban, also a robot) are in all three. Some info here:

I’m the nominator for V:LD. https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/4108/nominations/147928

Shiro’s prosthetic arm that’s not even connected to his body but still made out of tech would not qualify? I don’t think he had the arm during the last exchange. I think it was within the last two seasons this happened. Allura made it for him.

If not, can I still nominate the lions? Y’all accepted the Keith/Shiro & the black lion last year. I guess I can do that if that’s ok! If not I understand and will fill the sets in with something else.

Thank you! :D

(Not the mod) Having a prosthetic limb doesn't qualify for the exchange. It's in the first paragraph of the rules: https://turingfest.dreamwidth.org/11282.html#cutid1

The reason why 'Keith/Shiro & the Black Lion' were accepted last year is because the Black Lion qualifies under 'AIs, robots, androids, mecha, machines, cyborgs, and any other technology-focused characters'.

Hi! I’m aware what the rules say as I am not new to this exchange, and that’s why I am asking the mod due to the last two seasons of Voltron, because of the tech and magic it’s made out of. This is different from Shiro’s regular arm he had.

I am ok with the tags not being accepted that’s why I’m asking if it’s ok to nominate the others. Doesn’t hurt for clarification, and I wanted to make sure I can still nominate certain tags like the ones from last year. Because I wasn’t sure if my post would seen as a “loophole” in a sense.

I see! I totally understand! Thank you for the response and yay!

Can’t wait!

Hi, I'm the nominator for Detroit: Become Human. https://archiveofourown.org/tag_sets/4108/nominations/148096

This character is 100% human. I apologize for this mistake. I have mixed this tag up with the group ones.
