I've never submitted nominations on the AO3 before. :-) I tried to do so for everywoman last night, but I ran into a confusion.
The instructions here on the community say to submit all nominations in the form "A (Fandom)," like "Natalie Lambert (Forever Knight)." So I did submit in that exact format! But that's not the AO3-canonical tag form in most cases in my fandoms, where mostly the "(Fandom)" at the end has never been included. So I ended up submitting many non-canonical-tags for otherwise-AO3-canonical characters, trying to precisely follow the instruction, like "Tessa Noel (Highlander: The Series)" and "Jacqueline Roget (Young Blades)."
Should I switch those all to their canonical-tag forms, with or without fandom, before you need to review them?

Thanks! (Sorry!)
