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?

I'm fine with it being generalized to "queerplatonic relationships". "Diamoric" is another term for "queerplatonic" that some people use if they're not comfortable with terms containing "queer". No gender is specified either way.

Google says diamoric refers to relationships involving non-binary people, which I think is what mod means by specifying gender.

I've heard of quasiplatonic being used instead, if that's maybe what you were going for?

[(Anonymous)]

That's a new one to me! I'm fine with any variation on the theme.

—aheh, whoops, got my neonyms mixed up. Thanks for the correx. I was thinking of someone I know who uses both diamoric and alterous, and swapped meanings for them in my head. "Alterous" is the alternative term for "queerplatonic" that I had in mind. I need to sleep more.

[(Anonymous)]

Actually, alterous and queerplatonic are different kinds of relationships. After all, you can be aplatonic (not interested in QP relationships) and alloalterous.

Great, thank you!
