Tagset Queries & Cleanup

[slashmarks]

Nominations are now closed, and I have finished going through the tagset. I have queries for a limited number of nominations, listed below. After twenty-four hours, I will either correct or reject them as noted below. Please also let me know if I have changed your tag in a way you feel changes its meaning (and which is not covered by the nominations post or rules).

Buckshot Roulette
Char: Multiplayer Players (Buckshot Roulette)
The Dealer & Multiplayer Players (Buckshot Roulette)

It looks as though multiplayer is a difference in game mode, not in the characters. Is this correct? If so, as nominations for original players and for the dealer with original players already exist, I will reject these nominations.

Doctor Who (2005)
Char: Echo Clara Oswin Oswald

Is this a separate character from Clara Oswin Oswald? My googling suggests these are the same character. If so, I will correct the tag to Char: Clara Oswin Oswald and approve it.

Iron Lung (2026)
The Convict/Blood Ocean (Iron Lung)

Is "Blood Ocean" a character or an environment? I will reject this tag without confirmation of the former.

Kraven the Hunter (2024)
Sergei Kravinoff/Tangerine (Bullet Train)

Is Tangerine a character in this fandom, or a character from another fandom? I can approve the tag as a crossover tag if the latter is confirmed. Without clarification I will reject this tag.

Doctor Who
Ninth Doctor/Rose Tyler
Tenth Doctor/Rose Tyler
The Doctor/Jack Harkness

Per the nomination post, Doctor Who fandom should be nominated under specific properties. Please specify a subfandom, or I will reject these tags.

Aside from that, tag cleanup is ongoing! You can help me by commenting if you spot any mistakes, duplicate tags, or tags in your fandom that shouldn't be.

For Iron Lung—it's a bit funky in the movie because it could all be hallucinations but there is a blood ocean that is alive and talks and is treated as an entity at least from the Convict's pov and that's how I intended it as nomination, with the Blood Ocean as character.

Not the nominator, but for the Doctor Who noms, they should all be Doctor Who (2005)

And for Clara, Clara Oswin Oswald is an alternate (echo) version of Clara Oswald, who definitely counts as a different character. So technically it’s probably fine without the echo, but the AO3 canonical also has echo in the name, I assume for ease of differentiating between “Clara Oswald” and “Clara Oswin Oswald” and for the ambiguity of whether Oswin could also be normal Clara’s middle name.

Buckshot Roulette nominator here!

The multiplayer mode of Buckshot Roulette involves three figures wearing different industrial masks, that represent other players (since the game is played in first-person, a fourth is not present). In fanon, these figures are treated as separate characters that are distinct from both "wholecloth" original player characters and interpretations of the player character in singleplayer. If you think this would be confusing for folks, I would be fine with alternations to the tags for clarification.

As for input on things I didn't nominate:

- Doctor Who: Clara is both one character and a set of characters. During Clara's time on the show, multiple characters with her likeness (echos) pop up at different points in space and time, with different backgrounds, but all sharing a set of traits that Clara also possesses. The tag is probably referring to one of those echos.
- Iron Lung 2026 (I am one of the other nominators for this fandom): Ambiguous, as the film is entirely seen through the Convict's POV; he is an unreliable narrator in some sense, but to what degree is unknown, as the movie only takes place from his POV. I don't really recall the ocean itself being treated as alive or a distinct character by him or Ava, but an argument could be made that it is the same character as or distinct from The Monster and The Light. I'd keep it Blood Ocean, The Monster and The Light as separate tags and let folks clarify as needed in optional details.
