Fandom Brainstorming for Yuletide 2012!

I know there's a fandom brainstorming post up on the yuletide com, but I figure that there's no harm to set up a post for people who prefer commenting on dreamwidth. So what are the three fandoms you're going to nominate for this year?

My list of nomination fandom candidate:
Sengoku Basara: a fighting game/anime franchize with a playful spin on Japan Sengoku period and runs on Rule of Cool. My introduction post here.
The Ultimates (comics): I'm very excited about the coming event, with Miles, the Hispanic Spiderman, Kitty Pryde and Steve Rogers as the coming Big Three of the universe. The comics has realistic characterization of flawed superheroes who still saves the world. It also has a female basass normal Secretary of Defence.
枯葉之蝶| Love story (music video, lyric and translation): It has Dragon! This 's a short music video which cries for more world building.
大唐红颜赋 | Tang Dynasty Girl Poem (music video, lyric and translation): Awesome women! A great chance to write women being awesome, in Space, perhaps?
Young Allies: A very well done 6-issues superhero comics with Nomad, a girl out of her time and Anya, the Spidergirl kickass while being adorable together.
Necessary Hunger by Nina Revoyr: A novel set in 1980's with lesbian girl basketball players. And a lot of pining.
jessalae: (yuletide!)

Wow, I'm really glad you posted this -- I hadn't been paying attention to the LJ comm at all, and would have totally missed that things were getting started if you hadn't brought it up here!

Right now my tentative three are:

Discworld (Moist von Lipwig, Adora Belle Dearheart)
Romeo and Juliet (Mercutio, Tybalt)
The Newsroom (Neal, Kaylee)

But I also might want St. Trinian's, or Vorkosigan Saga, or Bring It On, or or or... there are just too many awesome small fandoms to choose from! My issue with my current three is that I'm 99% sure someone else will nominate the fandoms (the first two especially), but not so sure that they'll include the particular characters that I want, so I'll probably end up nominating them myself just to be on the safe side.
