Which poems can be nominated in the Collected Poems fandom?
Jul. 30th, 2025 10:38 amelwinfortuna posting in innumerable_starsBecause Collected Poems includes many poems that appear in other books, and some of which are fandoms in their own right, we needed to make some decisions about which poems can be nominated in this particular fandom.
The general guideline we've gone by when selecting which are eligible in this fandom and which aren't is essentially: is the full text readily available in another book? For this, we have excluded publication in obscure or non-English sources, literary magazines, or in books that were published, generally speaking, more than forty years ago and are out of print.
If the full text of the poem can be found in another book, it should be nominated under that book. For instance, Princess Mee appears in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and so it should not be nominated under Collected Poems, but under The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.
A number of poems appear in The History of Middle-earth series, and should be nominated under The Book of Lost Tales or The Silmarillion, as appropriate. And of course any poem that appears in The Hobbit or The Lord of the Rings should be nominated in that fandom.
When nominating characters, character groups, or worldbuilding tags for Collected Poems, please try to ensure that you make clear which poem you are nominating for, as characters can appear across many different poems and so can worldbuilding concepts. For example, if you wanted to nominate the dragon from The Dragon's Visit, you should format the nomination like this: Dragon - The Dragon's Visit (Poems), with a dash between the character or character group and the name of the poem, followed by the fandom disambiguation in parentheses. If the poem is obvious from the character name or group, there's no need to add in the name of the poem, but please always disambiguate the fandom.
You can nominate real people in this fandom, for instance: Rosalind Ramage (Poems) or Group: JRR Tolkien & GB Smith - G.B.S (Poems).
You can also nominate characters and worldbuilding concepts that might appear in other fandoms in this fandom, for example: Worldbuilding: Earendel guiding ships to Valinor - Bilbo's Last Song (Poems) or Bilbo Baggins - Bilbo's Last Song (Poems).
If you have any questions, please ask and we will do our best to clarify. As this is the first year Collected Poems has been a fandom and it's a very complex one, we might not have all the kinks ironed out yet!
What follows is a list of all the poems in Collected Poems with a note of whether they are eligible or not, and if not, what fandom(s) they should be nominated under. This information can also be accessed in table format (thanks grundyscribbling) on Google Docs.

Fandom Promo
One of the really fun things about a multifandom exchange is seeing what everyone else is into and maybe picking up a new fandom or two or three! This post is a place to let everyone know why your fandom(s) are great, how to get into your fandom(s), and so on.
You can see last year's promo post here (link).
(PS, say hello to our mod helper account! Our minions are helping with the data entry, plus this keeps the promo alerts from clogging up the mod inbox.)
Promo Spreadsheet
For ease of browsing fandom promos, we will be putting all fandom promos in a sheet for easy browsing, including browsing by roughly the length of time needed to consume the fandom. You don't need to do anything to get your promo info on the sheet, just follow the posting instructions and it will be added for you.
What to put in your promo
Necessary for the spreadsheet:
- Fandom name: Also make this the title of your comment below. If you're promoing a certain ship or section of your fandom, include it after your fandom name.
- Tagset fandom: Please copy/paste from the tagset if your fandom is already there. This will help if you go out for pinch hit.
- Media type: What kind of thing is it?
- Length: How long does it take to consume the canon? We want this to be useful for people looking to pick up new fandoms! You can put an exact time if you know it, or you can sort into these categories:
- For fandoms under 2 hours long: Very short
- For fandoms 2-5 hours long: Short
- For fandoms 5-10 hours long: Short-ish
- For fandoms 10-20 hours long: Medium
- For fandoms longer than 20 hours: Long
- For fandoms longer than 40 hours: Very long
Suggested other info:
- Where can it be found? (Only legal links for this, please.)
- What is it/what is it about?
- What do you love about it? Also, what are you planning to request for it?
- If it's a big/complex/long/scattered fandom, where should people start? Also, are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfill your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?
- Do you have any content warnings? These are at your discretion and don't need to be comprehensive. Some content "warnings" might also help attract people who deliberately look for that kind of thing!
How to post your promo
Comment on this post by clicking "reply" in the bottom right corner. You do not need a Dreamwidth account to post.
Put your fandom's name as the comment's title.
Copy the code in the text box below and fill it out. Necessary-for-the-spreadsheet fields are marked with a * so you won't forget. Other fields can be removed if you don't need them.

A recent article talks about the financial crisis in British TV. U.S. streamers also spent more lavishly on TV shows 5 years ago than they are now, with some shows never even being shown to an audience.
Are there things you would miss if budgets ended up being cut 30% or more from what we've seen in recent years? What sort of programming might you miss?
