Clarifications, part 1

[bridgetmkennitt]

To the person who nominated Fire Emblem Series, please change your nomination to an individual Fire Emblem game (if individual game is eligible on its own). Currently, Fire Emblem: Awakening has been approved and I think there are other individual games that are also eligible within the series.

I had some questions concerning some fandoms. Would people prefer the fandom to be All Media Types or separated into its individual medias, like movie and book?
-Les Misérables
-Master and Commander
-The Hobbit

There are some nominated fandoms that, as far as I could tell from AO3 and FFN numbers, are too small for Not Prime Time. It's entirely possible I might have missed something so if the nominators could please comment below with additional evidence pointing to the medium size of the fandom, that'd be helpful. If not, please change your nominations to something else. I will be rejecting these fandoms in 24 hours if there's no word:

-Dark Shadows (1991)
-Fear the Walking Dead (TV)
-Hellenistic Religion & Lore
-iZombie (TV)
-Rune Factory 4
-Stand Still Stay Silent
-The Goblin Emperor - Katherine Addison
-Wiedźmin | The Witcher - All Media Types

I miscounted. I thought there were more works in the RF4 section.

[bridgetmkennitt]

No worries. If you want to change it to something else, go ahead. I haven't rejected it.

[sarajayechan]

I changed it to the general Rune Factory series.

[bridgetmkennitt]

It doesn't look like it's eligible as a series. I checked AO3 and there's less than 200 fics with over 1k words and in English for the series. About 148 fics altogether. When I checked FFN, I found "Rune Factory: A Fantasy Harvest Mo... (907)" and nothing else for Rune Factory when I used ctrl + F. Is there another place I should be looking?

[novel_machinist]

Witcher has 285 results in AO3 link I thought that as long as it had more than 250 it counted? Thanks for all the hard work!

[sarajayechan]

Damn. I just checked RF3 and there's only 19, and Rune Factory as a series has 204 but...damn. I guess this isn't as "middling" a fandom as I thought!

[bridgetmkennitt]

More 200 fics, but over 1k and in English. Before I even filter for word count, just in English alone, I got back 130 works. Is there somewhere else I should look?

[novel_machinist]

ahhh sorry about that! I didn't even think about the fact that they weren't in English. That's my mistake. Sorry!

[bridgetmkennitt]

Is there an exchange specifically for Rune Factory? Or a Rune Factory specific LJ comm/fic archive with over 500 fics? Those count towards eligibility.

[bridgetmkennitt]

No worries!

[sarajayechan]

Nope. But there ARE blogs on tumblr dedicated to it:

http://runefactoryfemslash.tumblr.com/ People post fics there
http://runefactoryfanworks.tumblr.com/

If this isn't enough, then I guess this fandom is smaller than I thought. :(

[lynndyre]

I like the idea of Master and Commander AMT, and I'm happy to go with AMT for Les Mis too.

I think Hobbit should be separated out.

[elleth]

Agh. I'd forgotten the over 1000 words rule for Stand Still Stay Silent, I thought it might have over 200 works total by the time nominations closed. Probably shouldn't nominate if I'm sick.

However, SSSS does have its own fic exchange and a forum thread for fic posting, and while I don't know if that'd qualify as an archive, it might be worth considering?

[bridgetmkennitt]

I'll go ahead and approve it for the fic exchange. :)

Feel better!

[elleth]

Eeee, thank you, for both the approval and the well-wishes! ♥

Sorry! Hellenistic Religion and Lore is me. I had a brainfart where I know Greek and Roman Mythology is eligible for NPT - there are 780 fics in the criteria and it's "too broad" for Yuletide -

-

but then when I was nominating, I wondered if I should use the more specific term. Shall I switch it to Greek and Roman Mythology? Or you are welcome to.


As far as I can tell, Goblin Emperor is *definitely* too small. It's under on AO3 and ff.net, and has no dedicated fest/exchange. It does have a kink meme, though?

[bridgetmkennitt]

Greek and Roman Mythology is fine if you want to nom that since it has the numbers and Hellenistic Religion and Lore didn't.

[bridgetmkennitt]

I'm afraid it's still too small. :( I'll leave it without rejecting it if you still want to change it to something else.

[sarajayechan]

Thought so. You can reject it, I have enough with Utena, Ace Attorney and FE.

[morbane]

Thank you! They should be submitted correctly now.

[zdenka]

+1 vote for separating The Hobbit.

[(Anonymous)]

+1 on preferring Les Mis AMT

There are risks either way - split and characters might not end up in the right buckets, lump and people might not feel comfortable offering if they only know one (although with LM a lot of the characters nominated only appear in the book, so that helps).

Before it comes up, I strongly recommend leaving Star Wars split, even though the character sorting isn't great (someone keeps nominating Legends/EU characters under Prequel Trilogy in exchanges, and there aren't really tidy stand-alone names for eras of EU).

[bridgetmkennitt]

Star Wars as an umbrella tag is ineligible. Star Wars would have to remain split in order for any of them to be eligible.
