Thank you to everyone who has submitted nominations so far; it’s been a delight to see all your ideas rolling in. As a reminder, the nominations period ends on 30 July at 22:00 UTC (countdown), a little under two days from the time of posting. As I continue approving nominated tags, I’d like to take a moment to clarify the tags currently awaiting approval.

Emma – Jane Austen

• Caroline Bingley & Augusta Elton

Good news, nominator! This relationship has already been accepted into the tagset under the ‘Crossover Fandom’ fandom, which can be found under the ‘No Media’ heading. You’re welcome to delete this nomination and nominate a different relationship in its place. If you haven’t deleted the tag by the end of nominations on Tuesday, it will be rejected, but you’ll still be able to request the relationship under the ‘Crossover Fandom’ tag.

Crossover Fandom

• Colonel Fitzwilliam (Pride and Prejudice)/Colonel Brandon (Sense and Sensibility)

Since there are a fair few adaptations of both novels, I’d like to confirm which versions of these canons you’re interested in before I can approve this tag. If you nominated this relationship, please leave a comment on this post indicating your preference or edit your nominations to include the appropriate disambiguations.

If I don’t hear back at or before the end of nominations at 22:00 UTC on 30 July, the nomination will be accepted as ‘Colonel Brandon (S&S - Austen)/Colonel Fitzwilliam (P&P - Austen)’.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted nominations so far! It’s always a treat to see your brilliant ideas. With a little under three days until the end of nominations, I’d like to take a moment to clarify the tags currently awaiting approval.

• Jane Fairfax/Mrs. Dixon (Emma - Austen)

‘Miss Campbell/Jane Fairfax (Emma - Austen)’, which refers to the same pairing, is already in the tagset in the same fandom. Would you have any objection to offering and/or requesting this relationship using the existing tag? If you would prefer a piped version of the tag, such as ‘Miss Campbell | Mrs. Dixon/Jane Fairfax (Emma - Austen)’ or would like to argue for two distinct tags, please comment on this post by the end of the nominations period. If I don’t hear back by then, the nomination will be merged with ‘Miss Campbell/Jane Fairfax (Emma - Austen)’.

Sense and Sensibility (TV 2008)

• Anne Steele/Beaux (S&S 2008)

I appreciate your fidelity to Miss Steele’s choice of word, but I’m afraid Elinor may not be the only one uncertain of its meaning. Could you clarify what kind of characters (e.g., any male characters, any unmarried characters, original male characters, etc.) you might expect to write or receive for this request? In the absence of a response by the end of nominations, I will replace this nomination with the tags ‘Anne Steele/Any Male Characters (S&S 2008)’ and ‘Anne Steele/Original Male Characters (S&S 2008)’.

Lizzie Bennet Diaries

• Emma Woodhouse (Emma Approved) & Lizzie Bennet (Lizzie Bennet Diaries)

Since you disambiguate these characters according to their respective series, would you have any objection to my grouping this nomination under Crossover Fandom instead of Lizzie Bennet Diaries as originally nominated? If I don’t hear back by the end of the nominations period, the nomination will be recategorized under Crossover Fandom. The tag will otherwise remain unchanged.

Nominations will remain open until 22:00 UTC on 1 August (countdown). If you nominated any of these relationships, please let me know of your preferences by that date so that I can manage your tags accordingly. Thank you!

Thank you to everyone who submitted nominations over the past week. Now that nominations have closed, I’d like to request clarification on one last nomination under ‘Crossover Fandom’.

• Harriet Musgrove (P - JA)/Tom Bertram (MP - JA)

I’m not able to recall a Harriet in Persuasion—might you mean Henrietta Musgrove instead? If Harriet is correct, could you please provide a citation (e.g., chapter number) where I might find her? Whatever the case, please let me know with a comment on this post by 23:00 UTC on 1 August, a little more than 24 hours from time of posting. If I don’t hear back by that time, I will approve the tag as ‘Tom Bertram (MP - JA)/Henrietta Musgrove (P - JA)’.

Anyone with last-minute additions to the tagset may also request them in the comments of this post until 1 August at 23:00 UTC.

Thanks to everyone who has submitted nominations so far! You all have excellent taste. With the nominations period about halfway through, I'd like to take a moment to clarify the tags currently awaiting approval.

There are currently four nominations under ‘Crossover Fandom’ missing disambiguations:

• Fitzwilliam Darcy & Henry Tilney
• Fitzwilliam Darcy/Henry Tilney
• Frederick Wentworth/Colonel Brandon
• George Knightley/Fitzwilliam Darcy

Before I can approve these nominations, I’d like to confirm which versions of these canons you’re interested in. If you nominated any of these relationships, please leave a comment on this post indicating your preference or edit your nominations to include the appropriate disambiguations.

If the nominator(s) do not respond to this query or edit their nominations by 22:00 UTC on 28 July, a little over 24 hours from time of posting, any outstanding nominations will be approved as being for the novels.

Nominations will remain open here until 22:00 UTC on 31 July. Thank you!
