2015 Nominations Trading Post - OPTIONAL

[jaclynhyde]

This is a crosspost of desert_vixen's Livejournal post--neither of us are mods, so direct any policy questions to yuletide_admin!

This year, we can each nominate up to 3 fandoms, and 4 characters per fandom.

To get the most out of our nominations, it helps to coordinate. By sharing information, we can avoid several people all nominating the same fandom if they don't have to, ensure that one fandom's fans can cover all the characters they want, and generally maximise the things we want to see in the tag set.  This is NOT a required part of Yuletide, so keep in mind that just because it's not listed here does not mean that someone is not thinking about nominating it.

Please comment on this post with the fandoms and characters you are definitely nominating. If you're not sure about some of your slots, you can also list things you are strongly considering, as well as the things you hope other people will nominate for you. This is especially useful for fandoms that benefit from a larger group of characters.

If you aren't sure about any of your choices yet, don't comment here yet - head over to this year's brainstorming post.

The Google Spreadsheet is HERE, with a separate tab for Dreamwidth. If you're interested in helping keep that updated or helping with the nomination confirmation post (see below), send desert_vixen  a PM. 

If you can't access the spreadsheet, feel free to ask if a fandom has been listed.  Keep in mind the answer will only be accurate as of time posted.

After nominations begin, there will be another post in which you can list what you actually nominated.

This post is OPTIONAL and does not serve as your official nomination. Nominations begin on AO3 on September 25nd.

Thank you. Would you please include the spreadsheet link?

[jaclynhyde]

...and Dreamwidth helpfully deleted 3/4 of my post when I tried to edit in a journal. Got the link in, and will fix the rest when I get to a computer!

[morbane]

That explains it! Oh dear.

[lilliburlero]

My nominations are likely to be:

David Blaize - E.F. Benson - David Blaize, 'Bags' Crabtree, Frank Maddox, Hughes
The Cruel Sea - Nicholas Monsarrat: George Ericson, Keith Lockhart, John Morell, Julie Hallam
The Riddle of the Sands - Erskine Childers: Davies, Carruthers, Dollmann, Clara Dollman

If anyone else is keen on any of these, it would be great to get more of a character spread.

Imperial Radch by Ann Leckie

Aldnoah Zero
I'm personally interested in Slaine, Inaho, or Asseylum, but open to suggestions.

[lorelei42]

In the Vorkosigan saga, I would vote for Cordelia and Alys, particularly Cordelia.

[yhlee]

So noted!

[morbane]

I feel like Uprooted is fairly likely to get in on someone's nomination...

[evilmuffins]

I'd be likely to request/offer Aldnoah as long as you nommed Slaine and Asseylum :)

[yhlee]

So noted--right now it's a toss-up between Aldnoah Zero and Uprooted, depending on which is likelier to be nominated by someone else...

[azurelunatic]

I petition for Alys, because she gets less attention in general than Cordelia, and Cordelia may be included as a bonus if someone's writing, but Alys might not be.

[yhlee]

I've already nominated both Cordelia and Alys in my free slots. :) Assuming the Vorkosigan nomination goes through at all, of course; but I'm willing to take that risk.

[killalla]

Yes, sorry about the spelling error!

[starry_wolf.livejournal.com]

Hi, someone on LJ (http://yuletide.livejournal.com/1234489.html?thread=20071993#t20071993) is nominating Hamilton as well, and another person is interested in seeing Jonathan Strange (http://yuletide.livejournal.com/1234489.html?thread=20023609#t20023609), so perhaps you'd like to get in touch with them (:

[cadenzamuse]

I'm hoping the Hamilton! nominators might be willing to coordinate so that we get Angelica Schuyler and Eliza Schuyler Hamilton somewhere in there.

[killalla]

I've had a look at the "Nominated" spreadsheet on livejournal, and it appeared to me that "Hamilton" has already received several nominations, (which I think included Angela and Eliza, if not all the Schuyler Sisters), so I'm planning to take a gamble and nominate my "would like to see" fandoms, as neither seems to have made an appearance. You may want to check yourself to confirm, but I think we are okay!

[cadenzamuse]

Yeah, sadly it looked like some character duplication in the noms, but we'll definitely be getting lots of fun characters to play with in Hamilton!, including some women, and I felt free to nom other things too. :)

[superflight]

All right, I've already nominated my fandoms, but I have a few slots left open for characters:

Rokka no Yuusha | Rokka: Braves of the Six Flowers
Adlet Myer
Hans Humpty
Rolonia Manchetta
?

I'm probably also going to nom Nachetanya, but honestly, I'd love to see even more of the characters in here if anyone else is interested in this series! I'd especially love to see Flamie, Maura, Chamot, and Tgurneu, but any of the others, even the more minor characters, could be super interesting.

Kekkai Sensen | Blood Blockade Battlefront
Zapp Renfro
Zed O'Brien
?
?

I'm waffling on this one a little, because I'm torn between Leonardo Watch, Klaus von Reinherz, and Femt. I'd also really love to see White and Black nominated! If anyone else has any suggestions or would be willing to nominate any characters from this, let me know.

Neverwhere (Neil Gaiman)
Richard Mayhew
Marquis de Carabas
Door
?

Torn between nominating Hunter, Anaesthesia, or Islington. I'd love to see all of them plus Old Bailey in there, though, so if anyone has any suggestions/requests or wants to coordinate with me...

I am also hoping that someone else will nom C: The Money of Soul and Possibility Control (aka C for Control, but that's the tag for it on AO3!). If anyone's willing to do this, I definitely want Kimimaro Yoga and Masakaki as nominated characters, but feel free to choose anyone else from the series you want! (And if you aren't familiar with the series and don't have anyone in mind, either Itaneda and Shigeomi Taketazaki or Tomo Shindo and Ichirou Horii would work fine!)

[cadenzamuse]

Oh gosh, Anaesthesia or Islington, IMO. Honestly, I think I've seen more good stories about Hunter than about either of them...

[superflight]

I'd been giving it more thought and actually ended up torn between Anaesthesia and Ingress for a while! But if you want to see Anaesthesia on the list, that definitely gives her an edge. :D

[plingo_kat]

My nominations are going to be:

Seraphina - Rachel Hartman
- Seraphina Dombegh
- Orma (Seraphina)
- Princess Glisselda
- ?? If anybody has any suggestions for the last character, I'm game.

Coldfire Trilogy - C.S. Friedman
- Gerald Tarrant
- Karril
- Damien Vryce
- Narilka Lessing

Protector of the Small - Tamora Pierce
- Keladry of Mindelan
- Nealan of Queenscove
- Raoul of Goldenlack and Malorie's Peak
- Wyldon of Cavall

[trialia]

I think I saw Glisselda and Seraphina on the noms spreadsheet already, unless that's yours, but the other two characters were Abdo and Lucien.

[prancy]

I seem to be heading the historical RPF route this Yuletide. I'm hoping to nominate (I think these fandom titles would be specific enough):

Bloomsbury Group RPF:
1. Duncan Grant
2. George Mallory
3. ???
4. ???

First World War RPF:
1. Siegfried Sassoon
2. Wilfred Owen
3. Robert Graves
4. ???

[skygiants]

Crossposting from LJ!

I am definitely nominating:

Gaslight (1944)
Paula Alquist
Alice Alquist
Brian Cameron
Nancy

Miss Marjoribanks (Margaret Oliphant)
Lucilla Marjoribanks
Mrs. Woodburn
Rose Lake
Barbara Lake

For my third nomination, I am waffling between:

7 Seeds - probably Natsu, Hana, Ran, and Nijiko? But so many characters, how to choose!

Species Imperative (Julie Czerneda) - Mac, Emily, Charles Mudge, Brymn? Anchen? Fourteen? Some other fun aliens??

Cuckoo Song (Frances Hardinge) - Triss, Trista, Pen, Violet

Female Civil War Spies RPF - I would just like some fic about Emma Edmonds that gives her story the true crossdressing romantic drama treatment we all deserve

Anybody already planning to nominate any of these, or would definitely like for someone else to nominate them?

[volleybird]

(Crossposting onto LJ as well)

I nominated:
Ookiku Furikabutte (oofuri) - Abe Takaya, Mihashi Ren, Sakaeguchi Yuuto, Kanou Shuugo (I picked Kanou since I kind of wanted to, but if someone expresses great interest in another character instead, I can choose a different character, I'm not attached to Kanou)
Owari no Seraph - Hyakuya Mikaela, Hyakuya Yuuichirou, Saotome Yoichi, Kimizuki Shihou
Log Horizon - Shiroe, Isaac, Rundelhaus Code, Tohya

I thought about other fandoms, but I haven't seen others nominate these, and these three are the ones I want included in yuletide the most, so I didn't want to take any chances.

There's fandoms I considered nominating but I decided to hope that others will nominate them, especially since some of these crop up in exchanges all the time, including yuletide last year. So if you thought about nominating one of the following I'd be really grateful, I'd request/offer them (I'm not picky on the character selection but the ones listed are the choices I was going to make when I thought about nominating):
Aldnoah Zero - Slaine, Inaho
Bravely Default - Edea, Agnés
Kyoukai no Kanata (Beyond the Boundary) - Kanbara Akihito, Nase Hiroomi
Noragami
Puella Magi Madoka Magica
Neopets
Pokémon Mystery Dungeon
Hatoful Boyfriend (I saw someone say somewhere that they're nominating this I think? So I'm not worried that this won't be nominated)

I have low hopes that these would be nominated, but I'd be very happy if someone wanted to nom them and was willing to:
Sword Art Online - Kirito, Klein or Sinon, Asuna (I was planning on nominating either combination at the very least but then decided to pick other fandoms)
Kamigami no Asobi - Thoth, Wall
Jinrai wa Suitai Shimashita (Humanity Has Declined)
Star Fox - Fox, Falco, Wolf
Neopets: The Darkest Faerie - Tormund, Roberta

[azurelunatic]

I have an extra slot in my Dwellers in the Crucible nomination. I have nominated:

* Cleante al-Faisal
* T'Shael
* Ambassador Jasmine al-Faisal

[innerbrat]

My nominations have been submitted, and included:

Princeless
1. Queen Ashe
2. Adrienne Ashe
3. Bedelia Smith
4. Raven Xingtao.

The ONLY one of these I'm definitely attached to is Queen Ashe. I am happy to change any of the other characters for another if anyone can get to me on time! (I just wanted to make sure that my slots were being used by awesome characters :) )
