2016 Yuletide Nominations Trading Post

[jaclynhyde]

It's almost Yuletide nomination time, so here is the Dreamwidth nomination trading post! I am not a mod, but am again helping out with spreadsheets, along with desert_vixen (whose post I am copying here). The LiveJournal trading post is also up, and keep in mind that Dreamwidth users can comment on LJ. Feel free to comment on one or both, but mention if you're duplicating your comment!

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.  Last year, the nominations trading post represented about 1/3 of actual Yuletide nominations.

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 (or on LJ).

A Google spreadsheet will be forthcoming - watch this space! Due to time constraints and busy spreadsheeters, there will be no spreadsheet this year. Sorry about that!

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 9th.

I posted at the LJ version but for completeness I'll post here too:
DW Name: meridian_rose
AO3 Name: meridianrose

Fandom 1: Da Vinci's Demons
Characters: Leonardo da Vinci, Girolamo Riario, Zoroaster, Vanessa
AO3 Category: TV Shows

Fandom 2: Wynonna Earp
Characters: Wynonna Earp, Waverly Earp, "Doc" Holliday, Nicole Haught
AO3 Category: TV Shows

I'm stuck between two choices for my third – see my comment at brainstorming post - Black Sails (TV) and Dark Matter (TV). I'm also wondering if people are nominating The Borgias (2011) and Revenge (TV) since those are fandoms I enjoy writing in.

So glad this is here, because LJ commenting is increasingly difficult for me - sometimes it works; sometimes one of my browser extensions blocks it and I can't figure out what's wrong.

DW name: elf

Characters: Campbell Bain, Eddie McKenna, Fergus MacKinnon, Rossalie Garrity
AO3 Category: TV Shows

Fandom 2: Elfquest

Fandom 3 is undecided yet. I have a list I'm considering, including Boot to the Head: Ti Kwan Leep; Don't Hug Me I'm Scared; Ghost Soup Infidel Blue; Mad Max Movies (I am annoyed that Fury Road isn't considered a separate fandom); Kickstarter (anthropomorphic, with characters Early Bird Special, Stretch Goal, Staff Pick, and Risks & Challenges), and Midnight Cinderella.

ETA: (Will go look at brainstorming now that I've realized there's a DW version.)

Would you add Wasp/Janet van Dyne to your AvAc nom? I love her so.

Yeah, happy to!
