I am now confused as to why the Archive's TOS would be inherently considered anthropomorfic? It's a written document, just like many other things nominated for Yuletide, and I can 100% see prompting for it just like you would for, like, oh, anything else involving implied characters/scenarios. Honestly, the anthropomorfic option sounds more boring to me!

What are the characters?

Re: TAGSET

NA

None, which is why it was rejected, they said it needed characters because it was anthropomorphic.

Next year maybe do an evidence post, if you want TOS fic? Because I'm not sure how it's an anthropomorphic fandom, but I'm also not sure how it's not - even without characters, what characters would one write about? Some really weird things have got in this year (and in past years) partly, I suspect, because of the evidence post.

No - I mean, when you say "I can 100% see prompting for it just like you would for, like, oh, anything else involving implied characters/scenarios" - what implied characters/scenarios?

Re: TAGSET

Characters:

User Signing the TOS | Original Fanperson
Archive Volunteer(s) (more specifically Support/Abuse Team Member(s)?)
Other Archive User(s)
OTW Board Member(s)
etc

Scenarios: pretty much anything that would bring the TOS into play! Epistolary fic involving the various parties involved in an absurd Abuse case. Someone pretending to be Support from the comments of a 'fanwork' posted to some obscure fandom (megafandom?) and the story of how that gets found out. The tale of the intrepid volunteers who hunt down all the tentacles of an octopus of accounts posting illegal streams masquerading as fanvids...

... I see they made the right choice in kicking it out.

...I'm just spitballing, here, and am in no way the nominator, but jeez, you sure sound like a lot of fun.

And you sound like you want extremely thinly veiled archive staff rpf. Ew.

As a person who has been archive staff - and would not go back if you paid me - not really? I mean, I have literally no desire to write or request this fandom, but I was envisioning it as being more along the lines of the stock oratory character than one nonny introduced FFA to earlier this year. Ridiculous, nonsensical, with no connection to actual reality. But you do you, I guess.
