nagamas_exchangeThere's just under 24 hours to get the rest of your nominations in!
After that, we'll spend two days tidying up the tagset before signups go live.
In the interest of tidying up the tagset, we have two questions about the current nominations:
* "Original Character" for Fire Emblem: Three Houses:
We've received a few nominations for ships including "Original Character", e.g.:
* Original Character & Bernadetta von Varley
* Original Character & Marianne von Edmund
* Original Female Character & Blue Lions Students
* Original Female Character & Dimitri Alexandre Blaiddyd
For these tags, did the nominator intend to use Byleth or Female!Byleth? Please let us know, either way. If we don't hear back from you we'll do our best guess at what you meant.
* Ikona & Sumeragi
Ikona & Sumeragi were entered as a "&" ship, but "/" tends to be more common for this ship. If you nominated Ikona & Sumeragi and this was in error, contact the mods and we'll update the tag accordingly.
And then, we've got some clarifications:
* We won't approve tags that mix "/" and "&". e.g., "Tom/Sam/Bob" is fine, and "Tom & Sam & Bob" is fine, but "Tom/Sam & Bob" won't be approved.
(This is to keep the tagset to a manageable size; accounting for EVERY possible way of pairing up some set of characters makes matching more complicated than it generally needs to be.)
You are welcome to, e.g., nominate "Tom/Sam" and mention in your signup that you think their friendship with Bob is interesting—your gifter will not be *required* to include Bob, in that scenario, but it'll give them an idea of the sorts of things you like!
* The nomination for Hilda/Summoner was updated to specify Hilda (FE4)/Summoner. If you nominated this tag and meant to specify Hilda from Three Houses instead, please contact the mods to let us know.
* We won't approve nominations for Fire Emblem fangames. To ensure the best chance of finding pinch hitters in the case of people dropping out before the deadline, we're sticking only to official Fire Emblem games, sorry!
