This list was generated as an effort to increase the racial and cultural diversity of sources and characters represented in the Yuletide 2009 Fanfic Exchange.

You've done so much work on this! I am in awe.

Hey, for misc, you can add Janelle Monae's Metropolis Suite (album), with music video/short film "Many Moons" here. Android falls in love with human, seeks to escape repressive dictatorship. Featuring Bob the Haitian -- don't blink and miss him.

[thuviaptarth]

Ha, never mind, I will use my own damn form.

But also: Motorcycle Diaries is Spanish-language, but not Spanish; since you have other things under nationality, it makes more sense to list that as Brazilian/Puerto Rican.

[dhobikikutti]

Added and changed!

[kristin]

i love you for mentioning Janelle Monae! are you one of the other two people requesting it?

[thuviaptarth]

YES!

I have been thinking about it since I first saw the video earlier this year.

[kristin]

isn't it amazing? i've wanted a fandom for it for months. i've been posting links to the video in yulechat for more than 6 months to get people to be fannish about it, and am super psyched to see people other than me requesting/offering.

[oyceter]

Eeee awesome! Will try to go through list and contribute more when I have the time (ahahaha bitter laughter).

[dhobikikutti]

Cool, but it is enough that you will be participating!

[ardhra]

I do believe its spelled 'Filipino'. :-)

[dhobikikutti]

D'oh. Kutti fail. Will fix, thanks!

[toujours_nigel]

ohmygod, this is so awesome. :)

count me right in.

[dhobikikutti]

Yay! I am glad you are in!

Hello hello, thank you for doing this! I filled out the form for the Argentine movie Burnt Money earlier this morning and then realized I'd made a mistake in the extra information. Should I fill it out again or just comment here?

[dhobikikutti]

Go ahead and fill it out again! Thanks!

[sophinisba]

Done! Just to clarify, the first time I filled it out I'd written that the two main characters were Argentine, forgetting that in the film version (which seems to be the one nominated) one of them is Spanish and played by a Spanish actor.

[kristin]

this challenge looks awesome! i have already nominated and requested one of the fandoms on this list (Janelle Monae is awesome!) as well as two for CoC from fandoms not on the list (The Wire and Paul Beatty - The White Boy Shuffle) and now have to edit my offers, as I see a couple I could do.

[dhobikikutti]

Should The Wire and The White Boy Shuffle be on the White/Western/Other creators list?

Feel free to add them using this form!
