trelkezEquinox fandom nominations close tomorrow, Sunday July 7th!
There is still plenty of time to nominate sources at the main tag set or the safety fandom tag set.
Useful info:
- What sources qualify for "After Life?" (More on this below!)
- What qualifies as a safety fandom?
- How to nominate fandoms

When we pulled this theme out of past Equinox theme polls and dusted it off, we said to ourselves, "this is a pretty straightforward topic! Shouldn't be difficult to figure out what does or doesn't qualify!" Since then, we've spent a lot of time staring into the void about the nature of mortality, what "ghosts" are, and what qualifies as "resurrection of the dead."
We've done our best to stick to concrete "yes afterlife" / "no afterlife" canon indicators, but there have been a lot of extensively debated judgment calls along the way. For open interpretation sources where deciding "yes afterlife" or "no afterlife" is deliberately left up to the viewer (like Alias Grace), we've mostly erred on the side of approving those into the tag set. For some other kinds of sources, we've had to work out "this qualifies because" / "this doesn't qualify because" rules on the fly, so here are some additional guidelines for After Life sources going into the last day of nominations:
( What qualifies as After Life, pt. 2 )

Some clarifications needed on nominated sources. If you nominated any of these, please reply here or email us at equinoxvids@gmail.com with your clarifications / thoughts on the source(s)!
- Bãhubali movies: We reviewed the plot of these movies and couldn't determine where the theme fits, but we aren't familiar with the source and would like more info before making a decision!
- Doctor Who (1963): Which part of canon are you nominating this for? If it's on regeneration grounds, while discussing Doctor Who (2005) we determined that regeneration itself doesn't count since it's a mechanism that stops the Doctor from dying rather than a true death-and-rebirth cycle. (Time Lords can die, but the Doctor has continuously regenerated prior to dying - feel free to Who canon debate us on this point, but this is the Who canon interpretation we're going with this time around.) If there are other specific parts of canon that you're nominating this for, let us know! We're classic Who fans, but there's a lot of classic Who and the series premise alone doesn't qualify it, so if we can't pinpoint a "this source was nominated because," we're probably going to bounce it.
- Star Wars - All Media Types: There is so much Star Wars canon, and relative to that, extremely little of it qualifies for this theme. This is one time when we would very much prefer that only the parts of the canon that actually qualify for the theme are nominated, so if there are specific parts of Star Wars canon you have in mind, please let us know, and we can break it down into as many tags as needed.

Thanks to everyone who has nominated sources so far!
