This isn't an eligibility question but I noticed you hadn't approved my 1-800-Missing fandom, and I wanted to clarify why I nominated it as 1-800-Missing and not the canonical Missing | 1-800-Missing that it is on AO3.
See, the first season was titled 1-800-Missing, starring Caterina Scorsone as Jess Mastriani - and Gloria Reuben as Brooke Haslett and Justina Machado as Sunny Estrada. Then Gloria Reuben left the show to be a singer and they replaced not only the main theme, they got rid of Justina Machado (and pretty much every other actor except for the main actress Caterina Scorsone), changed the title, changed the lead char's job, changed the *location* of the show, got rid of the main char's family (in that they're never seen again)… Basically, the only thing that they *kept* was the main character's name and gift. It's like they're two different shows which just happen to share that.
So I've nominated it before for Yuletide (and maybe another exchange, I can't remember) as 1-800-Missing, specifically, because I want fic about any of those three characters (Jess, Brooke, or Sunny - or any combo of the three, pretty much). With OR matching on every exchange (except for Yuletide, I think that's the only exception I've seen yet), someone could theoretically match on Jess and decide to write me S2 or S3 fic for the Missing show, with the totally different job and all the other chars different - and I would not want that at ALL! Which is why I nominate it as 1-800-Missing to make it clear that it's a separate fandom from Missing.
What I probably *should* have done, however, is to mark it with (TV) after it to make it clear that it's not the book series by the same name (which is considerably different than the TV show).
Sorry for any confusion this may have caused, and I hope this clears things up for you.
