Worldbuilding Exchange (v3)

Thanks everyone for your nominations so far! Due to AO3’s technical issues earlier this week and where we’re currently at with processing nominations, we’re extending nominations by two days to Tuesday March 10 at 9pm EDT. We still plan to open sign ups on schedule on Thursday the 12th. We’re still working through the nomination queue, but if not all of yours have been approved, please see the questions and clarifications below. 

Please nominate characters in the character slot, and worldbuilding topics in the relationship slot (formatted as "WB: Topic (Canon)"). Relationships ("Character A/Character B") will be rejected. Worldbuilding tags nominated in the character slot will be rejected.

For the following fandoms, please edit nominations to use character slots for characters and relationship slots for worldbuilding topics:

Inglourious Basterds (2009)

Loki (TV 2021)

Please don't nominate specific types of original characters other than gender. For example, "Original Female Character(s) (DC Comics)" can be nominated, but not "Original Superhero Character(s) (DC Comics)". For the following fandoms, please edit nominations to avoid specific types of original characters (but worldbuilding prompts that might use such characters are welcome):

Harry Potter (Books Only)

For the following fandoms: we have questions about the fandom as nominated, or about one or more worldbuilding tags. If you’re the nominator, please include a link to your nominations page in your response.

Disco Elysium (Video Game) - For WB: First Meeting(s) and WB: You held a young woman by the arm and kept her in your apartment for 20 minutes against her will, the first is very broad and the second is very specific. Can you clarify how these are worldbuilding tags? For WB: Cunoesse's Backstory, this seems more like a character study tag--can you clarify?

Fire Emblem: Awakening - For WB: Future children trying to deal with knowing their younger parents in the present and WB: Future children´s relationships and/or memories of their parents, these seem more like plot or character study prompts--can you clarify how they are worldbuilding?

Gladiator (Movies - Scott) - For WB: The illness affecting Emperor Caracalla, can you clarify how this is a worldbuilding tag distinct from real-world illnesses? 

If the Emperor Had a Text-to-Speech Device (Web Series) - Several nominated but unapproved tags seem more like plot prompts than worldbuilding; can you clarify?

Minecraft: Story Mode (Video Game) - For WB: Exploring a Woodland Mansion, this seems more like a plot prompt--can you clarify how it is worldbuilding? For WB: Exploring features from a mod of your choice, this exchange doesn't generally use "creator's choice" tags; can you specify a target mod? For WB: Xara's Escape Attempts from the Sunshine Institute, this seems more like a character prompt than worldbuilding, would you be okay with this being changed to just WB: Escape Attempts from the Sunshine Institute? 

Moon Knight (Marvel Comics) and Moon Knight (Original Ultimate Marvel Universe) - Several nominated but unapproved tags seem to be more plot prompts or character studies than worldbuilding; can you clarify?

Phantasy Star - For WB: Odin and Myau's pre-game adventures, this seems more like a plot and/or character study prompt; can you clarify how it is worldbuilding?

If you nominated a tag that was rejected and you don’t think it should have been, or if a fandom you nominated was approved along with some but not all of the associated characters or WB tags, please let us know your nominations page.
