I assume that anyone that's nommed from an approved source would eventually get approved; it's just a matter of having the time to check that they're the right characters, and there are no duplicates because someone wrote in Rocque and someone else actually picked the tag for William Roque, you know? And I have to say I'm not surprised that Cougar and Jensen were nommed first (but fail for not using those additional two slots, whoever-you-are that nommed) but I'm sure we'll get all the leads, and quite possibly Jolene, Max, and Wade.

But in tiny tiny fandoms, where only one or two people might nom the fandom, if there's a large cast of characters, there's a distinct possibility that one someone else wants will not be there. That's why the spreadsheet - if your characters are nommed, then you can pick other characters if you want them. Of course, not everyone knows about or uses the spreadsheet, so it's incomplete, but they're trying. :D
