Nomination Clarifications Post #2

[slashmarks]

If you've found a duplicate or other mistake, please let me know here! There will be a general duplicate and formatting clean up after nominations close and before sign ups open.

Nominators for the tags below have about 48 hours to fix them, defend them or replace them with something else (until 4 AM EDT on the 28th). After that, I will reject or fix them as below.

Fandoms:

Last post I received a request to separate Fire Emblem into separate games and remove the current nominations under the series tag. (Comment here). I'm not familiar with this fandom. Could any other Fire Emblem participants with feelings on this share their opinions?

Relationships:

Bottom who flags orange right/Dom who teaches them why that's a bad idea - Could the nominator explain what they mean by this?

Freeforms:

Off-topic:

The following tags will be rejected unless they are edited to incorporate BDSM/etc. explicitly.

General reminders: fantasy is not eligible unless the fantastic creatures or worldbuilding involves kink; non-con and abuse must also involve kink to be eligible. Not all sex acts are eligible as freeform tags, although you're welcome to incorporate them in your optional details.

AU - Everyone is a Mythical Creature/has Sex with Mythical Creatures
AU - Everyone is an Angel or a Demon and Being Attracted to their Opposite is Unlawful
Begging
Cock Rings
Mating Bond
Negative Attention Seeking Behavior
Scenario - Masquerade Sex with Characters pretending not to know each other's Identity
Yandere

The following tags I am open to discussion about but am currently leaning towards rejecting:

Captivity, Lima Syndrome, Stockholm Syndrome, Worldbuilding - Dragon Monster Girls imprison lover(s) in their hoard

All of these tags involve kidnapping scenarios but no further kink/sexual details. I've approved some BDSM fantasy scenarios like Sexual Slavery, but my feeling is that kidnapping by itself is more like a general non-con or assault tag, and I would prefer more specific kink/sexy details for these tags to approve them. I'm open to discussion, here!

Ambiguous Tags

The following tags need to be clarified. I will edit them as I see fit or reject if I don't receive more information.

Nonsexual Kink - Nonsexual Intimate Touch as Part of D/s Scene - could the nominator give an example or explain what they mean by this?

Nursing Kink - I assume you probably want the medical profession, but could you confirm whether you want nurse (profession) kink, or nursing (breast milk) kink?

Using a partner like they are no more than life support for a cock/dildo/hole - Could the nominator explain what they mean by this?

Nonsexual Kink - Nonsexual Intimate Touch as Part of D/s Scene

That one's mine. I was thinking of something like this story where the sub's reward for being good is getting a nonsexual kiss and cuddles from the domme, or nonsexual intimate touch as part of service (such as giving a massage or being a literal bedwarmer). Basically the inverse of the smut tags.

I don't see another good way to specify that I want intimate touch between the participants in a scene but explicitly don't want it to be sexual touch. I'm open to rewording if you think it's unclear or have another idea of how to express it. I could break it out into Nonsexual Kink - Dom Rewards Sub with Nonsexual Intimate Touch and Nonsexual Kink - Sub Provides Nonsexual Intimate Touch as Part of Service, but I liked the idea of it being a more general tag and letting the writer interpret it as they prefer.

Got it! How would you feel about rephrasing this to "Nonsexual Kink - Nonsexual Touch as Reward during D/s Scene," or possibly "Nonsexual Kink - Only Nonsexual Touch during D/s Scene"?

[lailah_tov]

I'm not sure why the "only" phrasing makes it more acceptable than the current phrasing; can you explain? I don't see a reason to specify that. There might be some situations where both nonsexual and sexual touch happen in a scene, and I'd be fine with that.

Also, I would strongly prefer to retain "intimate touch" as part of the tag, not just "touch."

Ah, I think I misunderstood - I thought "only" was what you wanted! I think prefacing it with "Nonsexual Kink" was what gave me that impression, and that definitely strikes me as ambiguous as to whether the scene has to be nonsexual in general. "Nonsexual Intimate Touch During D/s Scene"?

[lailah_tov]

That works!

Thank you!
