Yuletide Brainstorming
THE TIME APPROACHES.
Literally every year since 2009, I have said, “I can’t believe it’s already time for Yuletide nominations.”
But, at the risk of being annoying, for the fourteenth year in a row:
I can’t believe it’s already time for yuletide nominations!
Yes, nominations are open and I haven't even thought about what I'm going to nominate yet! Help me think?
The Queen's Thief isn't even eligible anymore! We finally did it! Yuletide is what made me read those books in the first place, and I think of them as the Classic Yuletide Fandom and now: nope! This feels like an accomplishment!
This year, I'm not feeling a lot of "omg, I need _____ fic!" feelings the way I do some years. So I'll probably lean towards worldbuilding requests, where I won't ask for specific character but would instead just like to revisit the worlds from those stories again. Some ideas:
+ Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell
+ This Is New Gehesran Calling
+ The Mimicking of Known Successes
+ Chalice
+ Hainish cycle?
But maybe I'll also do a deep dive and request M.M. Kaye's Shadow of the Moon again, I haven't done that in a while. Or perhaps one of my old favorite kdramas--SUFBB or White Christmas, perhaps.
Even if you don't intend to participate in Yuletide this year, please feel free to talk about what tiny fandoms you'd like to see more fic for!

I'm thinking of offering canons that I haven't read/seen but want to. When I'm under pressure from work, I just revert to comfort reading or losing myself rather mindlessly in big games like Witcher 3. Think Yuletide could be a good way of giving myself a kick up the arse, because I do appreciate new stuff when I get around to it.

That's a really good idea. I often try to get myself to watch/read something right before signups in the same way--though I can't actually bring myself to offer to write something I haven't experienced yet because what if I hate it? But yes, it's soooo helpful to get an outside boost!
