Nominations closed

Hello! Nominations are now closed. 

There is a lingering question about what duplicate tags are listed under Dragon Age. Once this question has been resolved and the duplicates removed, signups for the 2021 round will open. 

Please check the tagset and comment here if you notice anything else amiss such as misspelled tags, duplicate tags, or misassociated/migrating tags.

I don't know exactly how you want to handle this, but it looks like several characters from Star Wars Legends: Knights of the Old Republic (Video Games) have also been nominated under Star Wars Legends - All Media Types.

In particular, Bastila Shan, Female Revan and Juhani are showing up both places, and Female Revan actually appears twice under Knights of the Old Republic, once as Female Revan (KOTOR) and once as Female Revan (Star Wars).

Thank you.

I will remove the duplicate tag for Female Revan in KOTOR.

For the tags showing up in both KOTOR or Star Wars Legends, I'm not familiar with KOTOR or Star Wars Legends so if you or somebody familiar with either of those canons could advise on how you'd prefer this to be handled in the tagset, I will follow that advice.

Thank you! I was the nominator who disambiguated (KOTOR).

So, Star Wars Legends encompasses the entire old EU (everything besides the movies pre-Disney, roughly), while KOTOR is a specific video game property set several thousand years before the movies with an entirely different cast, and there are apparently KOTOR fans who are not familiar with the main Star Wars universe. My preference - and I've seen other fans also state this - is for KOTOR to be completely separate from the general Star Wars universe as its own fandom in exchanges, and for the KOTOR characters to be nominated solely under KOTOR. People often nominate and request KOTOR in exchanges with no requests for other Star Wars characters.

I think it would also be reasonable to have the characters nominated under both, similar to how you might have, for example, Sam Wilson nominated both as part of the MCU and specifically as part of a Marvel TV show, as long as it's clear that this is the case. Regardless, though, it looks like Juhani is disambiguated as (Star Wars) under the KOTOR section and probably migrated from a nomination under star Wars Legends - All Media, so that should probably be fixed

I hope that helps!

Ahh, I might be responsible for the "Juhani (Star Wars)" tag. I nominated her under KOTOR, but used the auto-filled tag and I think "Juhani (Star wars)" is the canonical version.

I'm for keeping the KOTOR characters separately, but what about SWTOR then? (game in nominally same universe, but not technically a part of the series)

[slashmarks]

I'm not personally in SWTOR fandom, but I've seen it nominated either as its own fandom or as part of Star Wars Legends before. I don't think I've ever seen it nominated just in combination with the KOTOR games. Maybe the nominators could weigh in on their preference (including you, if you're a nominator)?

For the mod, SWTOR's cast is also separate from KOTOR and the movies, but it takes place in the same period several thousand years pre-movies.

[annathecrow]

I haven't nommed SWTOR, but it is in the fandoms, and there is a "Female Revan (Star Wars)" under it. Hopefully the person will weigh in. Otherwise, I would leave it separate and keep its Revan as a separate character, I think...

[koraki]

Thank you both for the information and discussion! Are there any characters that need to be moved out of KOTOR or removed from Star Wars Legends? From this discussion it doesn't look like it, since the person who nominated Juhani weighed in, but if so please let me know specifically which tags need to be changed.
