Just a couple of issues. I noticed these because they were my nominations:

Clint Barton doesn't appear in Loki: Agent of Asgard except in a couple of panels. The only pair I nominated under AOA was Daimon Hellstrom/Loki. I assume the Clint/Loki tag is migrating over from MCU?

Marcus Bell/Sherlock Holmes has appeared under Sherlock (TV); I think it's migrating from my Elementary nomination.

Thank for pointing this out. They should be fixed now.

There seems to be some tag migration.

Kefka Palazzo/Sephiroth - Is appearing under The Compilation of Final Fantasy VII. Kefka isn't in the compilation, probably migrated over from the Dissidia fandoms.
Cecil Harvey/Kain Highwind - Is appearing in Dissidia. Kain is only in Dissidia Duodecim.

Thanks for catching that and letting me know. I've modified those so they're only showing in the specific fandom where they were nominated.

Actually, the real number is less than 200. See, 100 fanworks are actually "background Danny/Stiles", "endgame Sterek", "endgame Dethan", "endgame Stydia" etc. So in this way the actual number of fanworks featuring Danny/Stiles is less than 180. :)

I mean, I don't know if it makes a difference or not but I just wanted to let you know.

ETA: checked the rules just now. Complete fanworks of Danny Mahealani/Stiles Stilinski on AO3, which are more than 1000 words long, is actually 106. :)

Your point is well-taken. Considering the number of nominations and inconsistencies in additional tags, it's difficult to plan to do this for every tag that comes through - so I appreciate you taking the time to point this out. This pairing will be added as an eligible tag.

*nods* I understand. I wish that people who tag for background pairings/ships would stop tagging this way because it leads to false expectations when you see the total number of fanworks and additionally makes it more difficult for readers who are looking for fanworks that feature and focus on rare pairings.

It's okay, I'm in the fandom so it wasn't difficult navigating the tags and such. :) Anyway, thanks!
