HALP! Anyone out here know Metal Gear series and/or Devil May Cry?

Hey guys, I'm wrangling uhhh like 30-40 fandoms for AO3. A few of those are pity adoptees -- fandoms that went unclaimed for a long time. I'm going to wrangle the existing tags and pre-populate them as best as I can then release them into the wild. For most of these my passing knowledge is sufficient, but for a couple I would really prefer to have a real live fan/expert!

Two such are Devil May Cry and Metal Gear series. There really aren't enough video game wranglers (or fics/fans! Come on over guys!) on AO3, so I've been trying to catch unclaimed ones, pre-populate the tags, and release into the wild. In both these cases, I know enough about the canon to kinda-sorta pre-populate, but also enough to know I definitely can't actually handle these canons.

Of the two, the more dire is Metal Gear.

If anyone out there is willing to hold my hand a bit for either fandom, it would be immensely appreciated. This help really just consists of getting character names/identities straightened out (who's actually secretly an alias of someone else? what things are actually summons/facets/limit breaks of who?) and letting me know what some of the popular ships are. We make a list of characters and ships, and then I do all the grunt work of getting it into the archive.

So if anyone out thee wants to help! BETTER YET, if you want to come to AO3 and wrangle? PLEASE DO! =D

Hi! *waves*
Lassarina's post sent me over and here I am. :) [I'm Lymsleia over at the tag wrangling mailing list, if you were wondering.] Metal Gear is one of my favourite fandoms, but I'm only just now playing my way through the series (well, through the fourth game by now) and am not exactly an expert, so I didn't pounce on it as a wrangler... but if you have any questions, I'll answer them to the best of my knowledge. ^.^
