The process will be very similar to how Abuse cases work right now. If a user claims a story is tagged with an incorrect fandom the Abuse team will investigate. If the author, for instance, tagged the work as 'The Hobbit' when it is clearly a 'The Hobbit RPF' work, we will contact the author and ask them to change it. If we do not hear back, the fandom tag will be changed to something like "Unspecified Fandom". The author can edit this to add the correct fandom tag at anytime.
In the aforementioned case, as long as it is noted or referenced somewhere the work will eventually be a crossover, Abuse will not take action. If the author prefers not to indicate it's a crossover, to avoid confusion I'd recommend not adding the fandom tag until the crossover is actually introduced.
I know that as a reader, I would strongly prefer for stories that might cross over with my fandom at some point in the future not to show up under my fandom until the crossover actually happens.
