Date: 2022-01-02 06:16 am (UTC)So, it's very much standalone at the moment. There was no mention of Supergirl across all 15 episodes (they cut a scene that referenced her) and the character that crossed over (Diggle) wasn't in a scene with Clark/Superman and his lines were really vague in terms of whether or not he knew Clark = Superman.
In terms of tagsets, I spent half an hour looking for it before I found the characters tucked away within the huge wall of text that is the Arrowverse and I would never have clicked on it had I not seen one of the clarification posts. For the sake of clarity I think it's better to have the shows listed separately, but that's just me, lol.

Date: 2022-01-02 06:25 am (UTC)IDK what is going on with the chocolate box sign ups in general because usually if you add a fandom, only those relationships are supposed to be an option in the drop down box and instead you get everything and it is really confusing. :\
I don't know when or where it started being lumped together or why but my assumption is that it is easier putting them together than throwing ships like Barry/Oliver in the Crossover tag since technically ... they're not. I wouldn't know how to work it otherwise.

Date: 2022-01-02 06:52 am (UTC)That's weird. When I was playing around with it that didn't happen. I saw something about it on the comm, though, and refreshed the page first. That might help?
IMO, Barry/Oliver is still a crossover because they're from different shows. For the most part, aren't/weren't they both usually on their own shows apart from the crossovers (which is what, an episode of two per season)? I don't know. It makes my head hurt, lol. I nominated Superman & Lois, but I'm 50/50 on whether I'd offer it if I sign up. I guess I could put a note specifying that I'm not interesting in writing anything regarding Supergirl/Arrowverse but then I feel like it would be weird given that...the fandom is literally DCs Arrowverse. Lol, I'm probably overthinking it.

Date: 2022-01-02 07:06 am (UTC)It must've been just temporary glitch or something when I was on, because yeah, I did go back just now and it's all working fine. That's good at least. Thank you for the suggestion!
Yeah, true. I don't know the specifics but you're right that they were mostly on their own shows. I always think of crossovers as fandoms that don't intersect but then again, it really is just separate main characters. And I think it is perfectly fine if you put that note. I once got a Smallville fic with the Arrowverse Justice League and now I just have DNW'd Arrowverse in my SV sign-ups just in case, even if Smallville isn't considered part of it.

Date: 2022-01-02 07:22 am (UTC)I guess it depends on the context. I think with all of these shared universe shows and movies, the definition of crossover has varied a little.
I will certainly consider it! I will wait until the end before I decide to sign up. I wonder why they put nominations at the end of the year? There were some things I didn't get around to adding because I completely forgot.
And the Arrowverse Justice League in a Smallville fic? Why?! My head hurts just thinking about it.

Date: 2022-01-02 07:37 am (UTC)Yeah, true, especially with the MCU being such an umbrella.
There's certainly time and you can see if anyone has any requests that interest you too! I have no idea about the noms. I have never done Chocolate Box before so maybe it always starts around now? I think it might be a 'right after Yuletide' situation but don't quote me on that one.
IDEK- I had the same reaction. I was like "why is Felicity being referenced and not Tess?" Also they threw in Barry/Caitlin/Cisco being a thing and I legit was so annoyed. They even got Clark's eye color wrong! Like how. I emailed the mods for the Mistletoe Exchange to ask not to be matched with that person when they signed up because I didn't want a repeat situation.
