Nominations Questions and Clarifications #1

[polyexmod]

Nominations are open for 7 more days! They will close on March 27th, at 23:59 UTC. (Countdown | What time is that for me?)

Nomination Clarifications

If there are any misspellings, wrong associations or ambiguous tags, please let me know! If you're responding to a specific query, please link your nominations page.

There have been some freeform nominations which lean more on tropes than poly dynamics (i.e. 'Hurt/Comfort'); please keep the intent of these tags in mind!

Fandom/Relationship Nominations

The Mummy (1999) & The Mummy Series

• Can these fandoms be merged?

Crossover Fandom

• Sakamoto Ryouma/Male Saniwa/Mutsunokami Yoshiyuki - What fandoms are these characters from? Please clarify or edit this relationship to specify original fandoms in parentheses.

Marvel Cinematic Universe/Agent Carter/The Defenders

• At the moment, MCU is being used for AOS and the movies, with Agent Carter and The Defenders shows separately. Would nominators prefer to keep them split up like this, in another way, or merged under the MCU umbrella?

Freeform Nominations

queerplatonic/diamoric relationships

• Could the nominator clarify if they need 'diamoric' with this tag, or if it can be generalised to 'Queerplatonic relationships' with gender unspecified?

Foursome - F/M/M/M

• Could the nominator clarify if they meant anything not already indicated by the characters in a relationship tag?

Comments

[polyexmod]

Thanks for the concern! I'd interpreted it to mean a focus on the interactions of two+ people involved in a poly relationship but not each other (i.e. those in sedoretus or Vs), but given the feedback I'll ask the nominator to clarify if it can be better served using a less ambiguous tag.

Hey, I nominated it! I thought since QP relationships were allowed, platonic poly would be fine too? Or is it redundant to have both since Queerplatonic is just a fancy way of saying Platonic?

[polyexmod]

Thank you! As this exchange is intended to focus on romantic and/or sexual poly relationships, straight platonic dynamics are not covered; it was my understanding that queerplatonic relationships crossed the line into ambiguously romantic, but I'll ask the nominator to check they meant something still within the exchange's focus.

Queerplatonic is still platonic, which is the opposite of romantic. It isn't ambiguous or romantic at all.

Sedoretu including a platonic relationship among the shippy ones is defined by the sedoretu, no platonic tag needed. Similarly for V relationships - it's already defined in the setup.

A platonic tag or a queerplatonic tag is allowing for total gen - that's not poly, and those tags aren't useful for this exchange. And queerplatonic is very much the new smarm, and has a lot of homophobia (anti-gay-sex) built in.
