Brainstorming 2015

[naraht]

By request, a Dreamwidth version of the LJ post.

We've had the Yuletide schedule, so that must mean it's time to start brainstorming!

What are you excited about nominating? What are you still on the fence about? What are you hoping to persuade someone else to nominate? Or do you just feel like sharing some squee?

Like last year, we get we get three fandom nominations each with up to four characters per fandom.

If you have any questions about Yuletide and how it runs, it's best to email yuletideadmin@gmail.com or comment on a post at yuletide_admin, rather than commenting here.

Ooh many shiny things...

Wilder Mind - Mumford & Sons (album)
Da Vinci's Demons (TV)
Lots of possibilities for Shakespeare plays; will see what other people nominate
I mayyyy even nominate something off German television; I'm never sure if that's just a waste of noms as it's foreign-language, but the ladt exchange I participated in had a number of requests in German so might go for Tatort or something.

I'm going for Henry VI if that helps. Cast of thousands mind:)

From what I can tell, most of Shakespeare's plays are eligible:

All's Well That Ends Well - Shakespeare (6)
Antony and Cleopatra - Shakespeare (5)
As You Like It - Shakespeare (21)
Comedy of Errors - Shakespeare (1)
Coriolanus - Shakespeare (84)
Cymbeline - Shakespeare (3)
Henry IV Part 1 - Shakespeare (86)
Henry IV Part 2 - Shakespeare (37)
Henry V - Shakespeare (112)
Henry VI Part 1 - Shakespeare (6)
Henry VI Part 2 - Shakespeare (11)
Henry VI Part 3 - Shakespeare (10)
Julius Caesar - Shakespeare (75)
King John - Shakespeare (2)
King Lear - Shakespeare (21)
Love's Labour's Lost - Shakespeare (4)
Macbeth - Shakespeare (50) (78 on FFnet)
Measure for Measure - Shakespeare (9)
Merchant of Venice - Shakespeare (42)
Merry Wives of Windsor - Shakespeare (5)
Midsummer Night's Dream - Shakespeare (66) (79 on FFnet)
Much Ado About Nothing - Shakespeare (67) (22 on FFnet)
Othello - Shakespeare (46) (26 on FFnet)
Richard II - Shakespeare (150) (though this is misleading--most of the work is by six or seven writers)
Richard III - Shakespeare (61)
Taming of the Shrew - Shakespeare (15)
The Tempest - Shakespeare (60)
Titus Andronicus - Shakespeare (10)
Twelfth Night - Shakespeare (122) (7 on FFnet)
Two Gentlemen of Verona - Shakespeare (6)
Two Noble Kinsmen - Shakespeare (1)

Two that are probably ineligible this year:

Hamlet - Shakespeare (274)
Romeo And Juliet - Shakespeare (343) (164 on FFnet)

Thanks! I just meant there's too many to choose from. Lots of the Hamlet fics are under 1,000 words so that should still be eligible, I think :)

Both Hamlet and Romeo and Juliet will be easily eligible. It's the 1k-total-across-ff.net-and-AO3 rule, with filters applied.
