If you're nominating someone you expect the mods to have questions about (e.g. someone who falls under the "Cases where a character is not necessarily a woman in canon, but a case can be made where a reasonable person would understand why they could be interpreted as such" provision), feel free to leave a comment here if you'd rather not wait for a query post.

Trouser roles?

[nienna324]

I’m not sure if it’s too late to nominate, but I saw the form is still open, so if you are still accepting nominations, I have a question. If not, feel free to disregard this message. I’d like to nominate Female Annio & Female Sesto, as well as Female Annio & Servilia from La Clemenza di Tito - Mozart/Metastasio/Mazzolà. Servilia is canonically female, so no problem there. Sesto and Annio are canonically male, but both of them are always acted/sung by women. Therefore, one could reasonably interpret them as women who have for whatever reason decided to publicly present themselves as men. The reason could be that it helps them to advance politically/be more able to do the work they want to do, so that they can be in a lesbian relationship without the social backlash, because they feel safer, or any other reason I haven’t thought of. Just to be clear, in any fanworks created for this exchange they would be treated as women and not as trans men or non binary people, although those are also interpretations that one could make.

I realize that almost certainly no one would pick this as they are from a “fandom” with 0 fanworks on the archive, but, one can hope...

Hey! Nominations should have closed last night - none of us on the mod side can see how the form is still open, can you tell us where you're seeing that/give us a screenshot?

That being said, yes, trouser roles would be eligible, and we're happy to add those in manually, if you give us the fandom & group names exactly as you would have put them into the nominations form.

I just clicked on the “feed us noms” link and it brought me there. I have attached screenshots. Maybe it worked because I have already submitted some nominations- so it allows you to edit but not start a new one?

Regarding the trouser roles, wonderful! I would like to nominate under the fandom La Clemenza di Tito - Mozart/Metastasio/Mazzolà: Female Sesto, Female Annio, Servilia, Female Sesto & Female Annio, Female Annio & Servilia. Thank you!

The fandom doesn’t exist yet on AO3 so I am making up its tag, and I figured it’s better to put both the original librettist and the one who edited it for Mozart’s version, even though that’s a bit long. If AO3 tag wranglers disagree, it can be changed.

Oh, yes, it would have taken you to your nominations page, but you wouldn't be able to add/edit any of them. We've added your tags in - the fandom is under 'Uncategorised Fandoms' in the tagset.

Hmm... then I have no idea why the form was open. Well, thank you!
