npt_adminWhen you're nominating a character that also belongs to another fandom, nominate it with Name (Fandom) to differentiate it from the same named character in a different fandom.
Example:
Fandom: Thor (Movies), Character: Phil Coulson (Thor movies)
Fandom: Iron Man (Movies), Character: Phil Coulson (Iron Man movies)
When you're uploading your story to the collection, you can just use the character's name without the (fandom) attached to it (if the canonical name within AO3 is normally without the (fandom) portion).
In particular, for the James Bond movies, they can be nominated as a whole "James Bond (movies)" or as a specific movie "Skyfall (2012)", as long as it has over 100 stories on AO3 and/or 1000 stories on FFN. When it comes to the characters, be specific as this franchise has spanned over 50 years. So "James Bond (Craig movies)", "Q (Connery-era)", "Female M" would be fine. "James Bond" by itself is too broad.
The same can be said for similar franchises.
Les Miserables will be split into Les Miserables (movie or musical) and Les Miserables - Victor Hugo.
Example:
Fandom: Thor (Movies), Character: Phil Coulson (Thor movies)
Fandom: Iron Man (Movies), Character: Phil Coulson (Iron Man movies)
