Brainstorming 2016 -- pimp your fandoms!

[drayton]

According to the Yuletide Schedule, nominations begin in a little over two weeks. What are you thinking about nominating? What are you hoping to get other participants interested in?

Use this post to drum up interest in the Yuletide-sized fandoms of your heart. Tell us what you like about them, and where we can find canon sources or primers. You may get a new convert to your tiny fandom, or remind someone of that thing they used to love but thought nobody else cared about.

This post is meant for fandom promotion/discussion only. If you have problems/questions about how Yuletide is run, you should hop over to the yuletide-admin comm on Dreamwidth or Livejournal to ask a mod.

This is all brainstorming, true pimping posts later.

YULETIDE!!!

What's the AO3 fic limit for Yuletide? Sakamoto desu ga? has 40 as of this writing...does that make it Yuletide-worthy? It's such a beautifully madcap bit of worldbuilding, I'd love to play in it.

I'm really hoping the excellent time travel visual novel/anime Steins;Gate gets nominated again. The official North America/Europe PS4/PS Vita release of Steins;Gate 0 is supposedly coming out before Yuletide, and I think I read at least one rumor that the original VN is coming to Steam next month...?? Something to think about!!

I really enjoyed the Nethack fanfic in Yuletide last year as well as the (non-Yuletide) Caves of Qud fanfic/Twine: would more roguelike fanfic interest people? I'd probably be willing to write for Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup, Caves of Qud, Sproggiwood, and Dungeonmans. If we want to venture outside the mostly-pure roguelike world, how about Faster than Light or Crypt of the NecroDancer?

Also, apparently while there is fanfic of some Jorge Luis Borges stories on AO3, there isn't any based on "Garden of Forking Paths" or "Library of Babel", which seems like a crime.

40 fics is way under the limit. The total number of stories (AO3 and ff.net) must be under 1000, though in certain cases exceptions can be made.

And there's ten on FFN. Hell to the YES writing about the Cool! Cooler! Coolest!

I've been hooked by DCSS, evilest of evil games. (I wrote the NetHack fic last year ;-)

Yes to Faster than Light!!

Edit: I'm not sure if I'll have room, but the Borges stuff sounds amazing as well. :)
