I just applied for two fanlistings right now and just to make sure that I do have them listing as pending in my FL list, I sent myself the FL list email. When I checked, I see that the subcategory for the applied listings are wrong when I did write them correctly in the application form. :( Thought I should let you know~
This happens when we don't have the subcategory in our database (because it's new, or for whatever reason) or because you spelled it differently than what we have on file. It's not an error, so don't worry - the category staffer will adjust when they're reviewing applications.
