Nominations Clarification 3

Nomination clarifications are queries and updates about tags we find confusing. The goal of nominations is to create a tagset of unambiguous, easy to understand tags that will be useful to participants and solidly within the scope of the exchange.

Tags are separated by query vs rejection notice, form vs AO3 nomination, and then by fandom. You can respond anonymously to this post or logged in. If you are not the nominator but have relevant fandom knowledge about something, please speak up! If you have questions about nominations not covered in this post, please ask!

Queries

Google Forms nominations

• A Charm of Magpies Series - K. J. Charles: WB: The Magpie Lord (Charm of Magpies) — Is the Magpie Lord a specific person? Would this nomination work better as a Solo: nomination?
• Original Work: Chosen One & General They Pull Out Of Retirement/General's Long-Suffering Significant Other (OW) — We are trying to avoid tags in the format A & B/C because we've found it's ambiguous whether or not the character in position A is meant to be involved in the / relationship. Are you looking for the Chosen One to be part of a romantic ship?
• Star Wars - All Media Types: Chirrut Imwe/Baze Malbus & Luke Skywalker — What parts of canon do you want the characters from? Without further input we'll assume Star Wars Original Trilogy for Luke and Rogue One for the rest
• Star Wars - All Media Types: Cassian Andor/Luke Skywalker — What parts of canon do you want the characters from? Without further input we'll assume Star Wars Original Trilogy for Luke and Rogue One for the rest
• Star Wars - All Media Types: Cassian Andor/Jyn Erso & Luke Skywalker — What parts of canon do you want the characters from? Without further input we'll assume Star Wars Original Trilogy for Luke and Rogue One for the rest

Ao3 tagset nominations

• Masters of the Universe: Revelation (TV 2021): tags involving Man-at-Arms and Sorceress of Castle Grayskull — Googling has indicated that these are titles rather than names and that different people might hold the titles during this run of He-Man. We would just like to confirm that, within the context of this fandom, these are unambiguous titles that can only possibly refer to one character?
• Masters of the Universe: Revelation (TV 2021): WB: Other Champions of Eternia (MOTU: R) — We have several questions about this nomination! "Other Champions of Eternia" seems to mean "any champion besides He-Man", but are you sure you want a WB: tag for this? It seems like it might be better as a Solo: Ambiguous Group tag, which would get you a gift about one or more non-He-Man champions, although you might need to think about if you want a work about one of the canonical previous champions (who based on this article live in Preternia after they die and appear in one or more episodes?) or if you'd also be open to original characters. In order to accept this as a WB: tag, we would need to clarify the phrasing to focus on something besides just the characters (for example, the selection process for champions, worldbuilding about Preternia, worldbuilding about something concerning champions and their wider place in society/history/culture...?)
