- Gallifrey (Big Finish Audio)
- UNIT: the New Series (Big Finish Audio)
Hello Doctor Who fans! I know I can ask this question when we conclude the round, but I wanted to get ahead of the feedback post and ask it while it's still fresh. Can those familiar please let me know if what I have in the tagset in terms of Big Finish Audio is correct? I did a bit of Googling, but I'm admittedly a little lost. (My familiarity with Big Finish Audio is only through tagset approvals.)
In the tagset, we have:
Should all of these remain as separate canons, or should they fall under one big "Big Finish Audio" umbrella? From my understanding, Big Finish Audio is the production company, and these are all different series, much like how Doctor Who 1963 and 2005 are different series (in a way that they're not even different series… Doctor Who is a very complicated canon when you go into the fandom weeds!).
I'm happy to keep them separate, but I wanted to know so I can make any amendments (if needed) and make a note for 2027's nomination guidelines.
I will be rejecting all lingering nomination queries once nominations close. Please check the nominations queries posts from 2026 to make sure your nominations are not one of them! If you need help making amendments, please ask rather than risk losing your nominations.

Nomination queries #2 + new nomination closure deadline.
Jan. 20th, 2026 05:03 pmcasemod posting in caseficexchangeHello detectives! There is a scheduled AO3 maintenance that will go into effect and will apparently last for 15 hours, which will impact nominations as AO3 will be down during this period. Please view their "What time is it for me?" so you can plan your nominations accordingly. As we may miss a day to nominate, I've chosen to extend nominations to Saturday 24 January. [ In your timezone + Countdown ]
*
Please review our nomination guidelines before nominating. There's an opportunity to transfer accepted tags from the 2025 tagset to the 2026 tagset.
I'm seeking clarifications on the following nominations. If I could hear back about these, that would be appreciated so we can keep our nomination approvals moving.
All Media Types + Related Fandoms
Can the nominator(s) please amend their nominations? We do not accept "All Media Types" and "Related Fandoms" without a case being made.
Crossover Fandom
Recursive fandom missing permission statement proof
Other
There are queries from the first nominations post that I'd appreciate the nominator's input on.
Please let me know on any nominations post if you see any duplicates or errors (like typos!) in the tagset. We've had some wandering tags a few detectives have successfully captured (thank you!). Happy nominating!

Any Decepticon Character
Drift | Deadlock/Perceptor
Impactor/Springer (Transformers)
Megatron/Rodimus | Rodimus Prime
Optimus Prime/Ratchet

Can the nominator please renominate this under the desired series? Are you after the Michael Bay or animated movies? The video games? Books?
Crossover Fandom
- Crossover Fandom
Avengers Team Members (Marvel) & Mobius M. Mobius (Loki TV)
Loki & Sylvie (Loki TV) & Thor (Marvel)
Can the nominator please update their disambiguations for the Marvel portion of these nominations? The disambiguation is too vague. Is it MCU? Marvel 616?
Phryne Fisher (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries) & Jane Marple (Agatha Christie)
Phryne Fisher (Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries)/Lucifer Morningstar (Lucifer TV)
Can the nominator please specify which version of Jane Marple and Phryne Fisher they would like? It seems the character of Jane appears in books, TV and anime, and Phryne in books and TV. If you're happy to receive any version, please let me know and I will accept these as is.

Can the nominator please provide proof of the permission statement for this work? I approved these and cannot find any evidence that the nominator has provided a permission statement for this work. Our nomination guidelines state that recursive works need permission evidence provided by the nominator. If it's not given by the end of the nomination period, I will remove these tags from the tagset.
Please read up on the nomination guidelines for recursive nominations and be sure to provide evidence!

Note: AO3 recently announced it'd be down for scheduled maintenance on Wednesday, January 21. We'll do our best to get assignments out ahead of the downtime, and will let you all know ASAP if we expect otherwise.

However, anyone may ask to have characters/fandoms added to their requests or offers. If you would like us to add to your signup, please post on the screened mod contact post or email us at seasonsofdrabbles AT gmail.com. Please make sure to include your AO3 username.
- After that window has closed, we will check the matching and send out emails to anyone who is unmatchable on offers. They will be given 24 hours to respond.
- Barring unexpected delays, assignments will go out before the end of Wednesday, January 21.
