[quote name='kirisame' date='May 11 2005, 07:03 AM']About locations, what kind of things would you permit? Because, for instance, applying for "Name-of-series: Tokyo" or something like that could be an issue. In some animes/mangas the reality is different than ours, so their Japan or their Tokyo or their whatever place can be different, but there are some series where it's sort of the same (like in realistic romantic shoujos and so on).
And how can you draw the line between items and characters? There are some objects with personality and/or ability to think or feel (i.e, some of the Clow cards in CCS, the zanpakutou swords in Bleach and so on.) Would they be items because they don't have an organic body and are used by people?

The best thing to do will be to wait for the rules to be written up and posted on TAFL, but I'll try and help with those two points <3
The staff was leaning towards not accepting Tokyo, simply because it's listed at
TFL, and because it's a real place. If we approved it, and did it Series: Tokyo, that would be versions of, which we don't allow in other categories :rofl:
About Items & Characters, I don't see why cards, weapons, etc... wouldn't be moved into the new category. I'd be suprised if they weren't.
