Nominations have closed, and the tagset is here!

From now until when signups open on the 3rd, it is tagset cleanup time! If you see any duplicate tags or fandoms, wandering tags, fandoms that are not video games, or anything else that should be queried, please comment!

EDIT: Does Vincent Valentine appear in the Final Fantasy VII remake?

First up, congratulations! We not only beat our total from last year, but almost doubled it: 211 fandoms and 1311 characters/combos. Well done everyone!

ADMIRE THE TAGSET. The capslock compels you.

Now! For the next couple of days, until signups open at probably 6am on July 4, we review the tagset to make sure that everything is where it should be. If something is not where it should be (aka a character has migrated from one game to another, or we have something in the tag set that is either not released or is not a game) please let me know.

If your nominated game is sitting in "Uncategorized Fandoms" this is because there is no canonical AO3 tag for your game. (Yet.) I am not a wrangler and so can't put the games into the right section. If you are a wrangler and you would like to wrangle these tags for the exchange, let me know what information you need beforehand and I'll get it to you.

Finally, we have the spreadsheet for the achievements! For those who have not participated before, last year we had a little challenge where we tried to "achieve" certain achievements on a list, much like in many video games. Some of the achievements are pretty hardcore! Some of them are going to be achieved in the course of the game/exchange. There is also a secret one! If we ever achieve it, I will reveal it. As you can see though, I need your help to come up with more achievement names for the ones for the games. While looking at the tag set, if you come up with something clever, witty, silly, or all of the above, for an achievement name, let us know!
