yuuuuuletide
The official communities are talking about it, so WE'RE ALLOWED TO AS WELL. Nominations are approaching! Let's talk about fandoms!
I am definitely nominating:
- Discworld (Tiffany Aching, Preston)
- The Lady's Not For Burning (Thomas, Jennet, Margaret)
...and I suspect my third nomination will need some careful thought. I am having a serious craving for Midsummer Night's Dream fic about the fairies, but during my visit to the States I also got very excited about
- Bring It On (the musical)
- the London Olympic Opening Ceremony
And somone on the official nomination post mentioned Stranger Than Fiction which makes my writing brain go !%*?!! so I really hope it ends up on the list.
I will probably end up treat-writing for the Lizzie Bennet Diaries but I'm sure they'll be nominated and requested and offered all over the place, so I'm putting them aside for now.
TELL ME YOUR YULETIDE DREAMS, MY FRIENDS.
(I have been spending too much time on tumblr, I tried to tag this post 'I guess this means I should get a wriggle on and finish my Natasha Romanoff fic' before realising that I was, in fact, using Dreamwidth. Tumblr suits the way my brain feels when I get home from work, but I'm starting to really miss the comment-conversations and impetus to create of LJ/DW platforms. I might try to spend more time here and less time scrolling past gif sets.)

And, hmm... beyond that I'm not sure. Maybe RockNRolla, and probably my typical Chrétien de Troyes nominations.

* If your pseudo medieval world more or less replicates medieval or renaissance gender politics and DOESN'T have plenty of rape or threat-of-rape in it, I find it implausible and am not interested. I REQUIRE HISTORICALLY ACCURATE RAPE.

Yes, I want people to write me all the thinky and inventing/exploring culture fic *coughs*
But I should think of other things to nominate, too, once I get out of "BUT I WANT FIC SET ON MARS, THERE COULD BE METAPHORS WITH ACTUAL SCIENCE PEOPLE. AND AIRSHIPS. THERE ARE AIRSHIPS ON MARS" mood I'm in.

The guy clearly enjoyed the hell out of that movie to keep on watching it over and over, but hey, I did exactly the same thing with the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie once.
no subject
I just. Oh, gosh, I want all the badass princess scientists who are heads of royal science academies now. All of them. There needs to be more characters whose response to the Hero From Earth is "...you say you're from Earth? I will poke at your musculature and try and order you to do experiments for my research. And then point out that your story is SCIENTIFICALLY IMPLAUSIBLE."

This could also be my year for writing Sucker Punch fic, I hope it ends up nominated.

...Yessssss, so do I. There are some amazing things that can be done with that canon.

I'm afraid I'm actually a bit behind on the Tiffany Aching books. Perhaps I'll add those to my quick-consume-this-media-before-sign-ups pile.
