Multifandom Doodle

Hello, I hope the nominations period has been going well for everyone! Signups are still slated to open in the next few hours (experimenting with a nomination/signup overlap period this round).

There are several nomination clarifications, mostly to do with improperly categorized or formatted tags. If there are questions or concerns about any of these clarifications, please comment below - anon is enabled.


Any Fandom I've Requested Before
All tags

These tags aren't within the scope of this exchange right now, mostly because it's meant to be beginner friendly but also for ease of matching and avoiding defaults. Please re-phrase/re-nominate these tags either:

1. Under specific fandoms in the Multifandom Doodle 2024 Round 1 tagset (e.g. [Fandom] -> Creator's Choice of M/F Ship ([Fandom])); or
2. Under Creator's Choice of Fandom (e.g. CCOF -> Creator's Choice of Femslash Ship).

Tags nominated under "Any Fandom I've Requested Before" at the time nominations close will be rejected.

Any Fandom I've Created In Before
Creator's Choice of illuminated page of one of recip’s fics (medieval monk style) (AFICIB)
Creator's choice of scene in one of recip's fics (AFICIB)

Illustrations of a recipient's fic should be nominated under specific fandom(s), using a character tag for that fandom, and disambiguated, using the format "Creator's Choice of Illuminated Page from Recipient's AO3 Fic (Fandom)", e.g. "Creator's Choice of Illuminated Page from Recipient's AO3 Fic (SW:OT)", nominated under Star Wars: Original Trilogy (can delete the "Creator's Choice of" part if that makes the tag too long).

Tags nominated under "Any Fandom I've Created In Before" at the time nominations close will be rejected.

Creator's Choice of Fandom
A Hopeless Dawn by Frank Bramley (Painting) and all other Painting tags nominated in CCOF

These are existing works of art. Please nominate them under an appropriate fandom name, ideally with each painting as a separate fandom (and no character tags) or under "Paintings - [Artist Name]". Any existing artwork nominated under CCOF or OW at the time nominations close will be rejected.

Creator's Choice of Fandom
Creator's Choice of Scene from Recipient's AO3 Fic in the Style of a Medieval Illumination (OW)

Illustrations of a recipient's fic should be nominated under specific fandom(s), using a character tag for that fandom, and disambiguated, using the format "Creator's Choice of Scene from Recipient's AO3 Fic (Fandom)", e.g. "Creator's Choice of Scene from Recip's AO3 Fic (SW:OT)", nominated under Star Wars: Original Trilogy.

If this tag is meant to refer to a recipient's Original Work fic, please nominate this tag under OW (not CCOF) and format it as: Creator's Choice of Scene from Recipient's OW Fic in the Style of a Medieval Illumination (OW).

Video Blogging RPF
GeminiTay (Video Blogging RPF)

This is less of a clarification and more of a heads up! GeminiTay (HermitCraft) is in the tagset under both Hermitcraft SMP and Video Blogging RPF, and the pending tag GeminiTay (Video Blogging RPF) seems to be causing AO3 to freak out a little bit because of this. Therefore I'm going to reject the tag GeminiTay (Video Blogging RPF). If GeminiTay (Video Blogging RPF) is different from GeminiTay (Hermitcraft), let me know and I'll see if I can add this tag in manually, since AO3 does not want to let it through the usual way.


Nominations close June 3 so please make sure you nominate anything you may want to request or offer before 11:59 PM UTC on June 3. Remember that this may be earlier than midnight in your timezone.

As the nominations period wraps up, if there are questions about nominations, any duplicate/misspelled/migrating tags in the tagset for your fandoms, or a clarification you want to provide pre-emptively, please comment on this post or the Nominations Open post.

Nominations for the summer 2023 round of Multifandom Doodle have closed -- thank you to everyone who nominated! You can check out the tagset here.

There is one specific clarification question:

Signups will open by end of day tomorrow, May 29. Please take a moment to check any fandoms you might be interested in requesting/offering in the tagset and comment here or email multifandomdoodle@gmail.com if you notice anything amiss such as misspelled tags, duplicate tags, tags that don't have "group:"/"object:"/"place:"/etc. in front of them when they should, or misassociated/migrating tags. Also, please feel free to email/comment if you have any last minute additions you would like to make. Changes cannot be made after signups open.

Please comment below or email multifandomdoodle@gmail.com with any questions, concerns, etc.

Hello! 

I hope nominations have been going well for everyone. Thank you for all your interest and requests for clarification! 

Currently there are two sets of nominated tags that require clarification.

The Spectre (DCU Comics)

• AO3 is suggesting Jim Corrigan (DCU) in place of this tag. Would it be acceptable to approve this tag as The Spectre | Jim Corrigan (DCU Comics), or would you prefer for it to be approved as The Spectre?  

Vampiric Fruitbat nominations (Original Works)

• There are six somewhat confusing nominations under Original Works: Vampiric Fruitbat, Apple (Vampiric Fruitbat), Banana (Vampiric Fruitbat), Orange (Vampiric Fruitbat), Strawberry (Vampiric Fruitbat), Watermelon (Vampiric Fruitbat) 
• The formatting of these nominations seems to imply that the nominator was trying to nominate a fandom called Vampiric Fruitbat with five disambiguated characters and accidentally placed it under OW, but when searched on the internet, the only apparent match is the Vampire Fruitbat characters from My Little Pony. 
• Can the nominator please confirm if they meant to nominate Vampiric Fruitbat as a fandom and if so, what that fandom is? 
• Or, if the nominator was trying to nominate different types of fruit-themed vampire bats as Original Works characters, can the nominator please change the nominated tags to make this more clear and specific? 

If you nominated these tags or know the fandom and can provide insight, please comment below! Anon is enabled.

As a general clarification, please remember that the nominations stage is the time when character/ship/place/setting tags can be added to the tagset. The tagset is not the place to put prompts. Tags such as "group: Elmo climbing into Oscar's trashcan & Oscar trying to push him out" or "group: Bert & Bert's Pigeons trying to lift him off the ground to fly with them" will be rejected. Please just nominate your desired character(s) or ship(s) -- you will have the chance to add as many prompts for them as you want in your Optional Details during the requests stage! 

Nominations close in a little over 2 days so please make sure you add your desired nominations before October 31, 11:59 PM UTC. Remember that this may be earlier than midnight in your timezone. 

As the nominations period continues, if there are questions about nominations or a clarification you want to provide pre-emptively, please comment on this post or the Nominations Open post. 

Thank you!
