Yuletide nominations

[edenfalling]

Yay, my Yuletide noms got approved! I suspect some of them might be duplicates, but they weren't listed on the nomination-coordinating spreadsheet and I have had years where I skipped nominations on the theory that "Fandom X always gets nominated anyway" and then had Fandom X not actually be nominated, so. There's also the issue of making sure the characters you want are available to request, which is sometimes irrelevant but other times matters a great deal; this year falls into the latter case for me.

Basically I made sure I could make my perennial The Lions of Al-Rassan prompt (will this be the year it finally gets filled???), my Karla-gets-a-happy-sex-life prompt, and a new idea for Darkangel fic that occurred to me recently and which I would love to read: namely, something about Syllva and Eryka and their relationship as sisters, travelers, and sometime-rulers of Isternes and various points west, because sisters are awesome and I want to know more about them as the heroes of their own stories rather than background figures in their children's stories. (That nomination took longest to approve, probably because Syllva and Eryka did not previously exist in AO3's tagging system.) I will doubtless make one or two other requests as well -- I am always up for fic about The Dispossessed, for example, or maybe Daredevil (616 version) if that makes it through, because I want someone to properly develop Milla Donovan beyond her love for Matt, dammit! -- but other people were already taking care of those fandoms so I didn't need to bother. :D

I think one of the mods said they were dealing with nominations in rough order of increasing difficulty. Perhaps Green Sky is simply small enough that none of them know it personally and they therefore decided to check it after they dealt with stuff they recognize more readily.

Yup! I just went and checked again, and the fandom and characters are approved. The interesting thing is that I didn't include the surnames of the characters I nominated and they added them in. So either one of the mods knows the books or they went and checked them, because the surnames are not anywhere on AO3 or (I am reasonably certain) fanfic.net. Very thorough!
