Oh, I'm wondering, as the nominations are open again, would it be possible to clarify one of the AUs?
All: Most Dangerous Game AU

I got wildly excited, assuming it would be the 1932 movie, then realised there's a fairly new TV series by that title too. Could it be specified which it is?

[thedevilchicken]

I believe it was intended as a sort of general "characters are hunted for sport" thing, given how many times the short story has been adapted. If you want a 1932 movie-specific tag, please do feel free to nominate one!

I just went back to edit my comment and tell you I just did, and that it was unlikely to be a duplicate to the existing nomination, but you'd already replied. lol

[thedevilchicken]

Awesome! That's approved now.

Not the original nominator, but #4 Penelope AU could relate to the movie with Christina Ricci, where she's cursed with a pig's nose and has to find her true love nonetheless.

[thedevilchicken]

I'm told that is indeed what it refers to, but that was obvious from the tag - there are multiple fandoms named this, and it could've referred to Penelope from Greek myth. But thanks.

Imagine being assigned without the tag being clarified, and writing Bucky postponing suitors with a neverending tapestry when recip really wanted him with a pig nose.
