Kaleidoscope nominations closed!

[dark_administrator]

Doers of darkness, nominations for Kaleidoscope 2012 are now closed! So far we have approved 155 fandoms and 758 characters (not including the 25 fandoms and 136 characters we are still processing). We will be generating a list of nominated fandoms, characters, and people for your review shortly.

While our mod team has done its best to look up fandom and character names in their original languages, there are several cases where we would like to verify those names as we do not read/write the languages in question and information was not available. We'd like to draw on the multilingual expertise of this community to ask for help. Our goal is to include name in the original source language and a romanized version of the name when possible and we would appreciate your help!

Once we've finished processing nominations, our disputes period will begin on August 27 (countdown clock), so stay tuned! We'll once again need your help with clarifications and corrections on fandom and character eligibility in order to finalize the nominations list.

Thank you again to everyone who promoted our challenge! Happy International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition!

Grr Argh!! The AO3 bug prevented me from accessing the site the whole day, and I missed noms. :(
Also, is it just me, or is it kind of weird wishing a HappyInternational Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition?
Anyway...
Regarding names, I'm a little unsure how you're deciding which Indian language to pick along with the Romanised ones. Because I notice that you've got one name in Urdu and one in Punjabi for Dil Bole Hadippa, but the film itself is in Hindi. And in Chak De! India, I have no idea of the language scripts of all the various mother tongues the characters would use, and so those are going to be transliterations to Hindi too. And in Kahaani some of those characters are Bengali, but again, Hindi movie. Anyway, here is everything in Hindi -

*The ones with asterix are the ones where my transliteration could be faulty or I am guessing at phonetic spelling

[wistfuljane]

Thank you for the transliteration, Kutti!

Grr Argh!! The AO3 bug prevented me from accessing the site the whole day, and I missed noms. :(

Have you tried some of the suggested workaround at http://archiveofourown.org/admin_posts/245?

In any case, if you send us your nominations, we can manually added them in our tags set.

[dhobikikutti]

Yeah, I tried it but it didn't work. And thanks for the offer, but it's cool. I will work with what's been nominated :)
