Brainstorming 2015
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![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)

Do you mean Sherwood Smith's Athanarel books?
no subject
It's a duology. Changer is the first book. The second book was originally published as Legends Walking but has been rereleased by Obisidian Tiger (which I've never heard of before looking at Lindskold's website, so I'm assuming it's a small press) as Changer's Daughter.
The Athanor are magical beings of various sorts who live, hidden, in the real world. Many of them are human, at least in appearance, but some are animals. If I recall correctly, they're all unaging once they reach maturity. Some of them have magical powers; some don't.
The titular character, the Changer, is one of the two oldest of the Athanor and is a shapeshifter of incredible versatility. If I recall correctly, he's old enough to remember a time before humans. There's a large cast of characters with complicated histories-- If I'm recalling correctly, the same person was both Gilgamesh and King Arthur. Athena is a character, and so is Loki. The book does start with someone murdering the Changer's current family, all coyotes (or wolves?) as a way of getting his attention. There's not so much death after that. The daughter in the title of the other book is the Changer's only surviving coyote pup.
