getting things in order for Yuletide
Nov. 16th, 2011 01:49 amSince my Yuletide signup experience last year was... not exactly a nightmare, but certainly not ideal (to summarize: three plus hours of frustration and eyestrain in the wee hours of the night/morning because my computer was having a bad week and I had to take advantage of a functional period no matter how inconvenient to real life), this year I have already gone through the list of nominated and approved fandoms and made a file of the ones I will definitely offer to write plus the ones I might offer to write if I am feeling adventurous and/or masochistic (because of course the thing you offer thinking, "Well, I suppose I could maybe do that," is the thing you will get matched on).
At the moment, this translates to four manga series, three comics series, one song, one play, twenty-five books and/or book series (almost entirely fantasy), and twelve movies. The weird part of this, of course, is the movies. A couple are Disney, a couple are random things that I have seen two or three times for various reasons... and the rest are things I watched this year because Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in them. *sigh* My fannish priorities: you may not agree with them, but clearly I have some.
...
Tangentially, I note that someone has nominated Seaward by Susan Cooper again. I think I am still the only person who has written and publicly posted fanfic for that book. I would love to see somebody else take a stab at it this year. :-)
