Chromatic Yuletide 2010 Nominations!

[dark_administrator]

If you have nominated one or more fandoms that qualify for our challenge, please list them here! If you would like to brainstorm, urge other people to nominate something you might not have had a slot for, or discuss other aspects of nominations, this is the space to do it.

Do remember that the closer we get to 25th December 2010, the harder it will be for people to learn a new source canon - so this is the best time to try to woo a potential writer over into a TV series or epic 6 volume book canon.

How to Nominate
The nomination form

Nominations close Wednesday, 20th October at 8:59 pm US Eastern time.

Addendum:

With the help of dharmavati, eruthros, and thingswithwings, to whom we owe many thanks, we've been compiling nominated fandoms with chromatic creators and characters from your comments, the Yuletide Nominated Fandoms List, and the Yuletide Characters List in the Chromatic Yuletide 2010 Nominations List spreadsheet (html version).

We've been following titling and tagging conventions from yuletide and AO3 and will need help adding and verifying information, so if you have time and energy to spare, we would appreciate your assistance! The spreadsheet is set so anyone (no Google account needed) can edit, and Google Docs is designed so multiple editors can work on a document simultaneously and all their edits will update. We're currently working through the Yuletide Nominated Fandoms list, and you can check our status under Progress. We have also included a Color Key to explain the highlighted cells.

We're also maintaining a list of Chromatic Yuletide Fandom Promotion Posts here.

I have nominated Suzanne Brockmann - Troubleshooters, and specifically added Martell Griffin to the list, who is a POV character of color in Force of Nature. Am considering requesting him for fic. (There are two different Troubleshooters fics I want to request.) Would love more Martell awesomeness in the world, so anyone else who might think about requesting Martell... ETA: Also, Ric Alvaredo (who is Martell's best friend) is a POV character of color, in fact the main character of their book. I was so focused on Martell for my request, I almost forgot about Ric.

Have also nominated the Kinks' song "Lola," which implies that Lola is of color (I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said 'Lola').

Also have nominated the Eagles' song "Hotel California" and will be requesting it with an interpretation that is inclusive of the Latino and Native American populations of California, so not exactly a chromatic source in itself, but... room for it exists.

I had never read that line that way (I thought it meant her voice was husky) but I do know that the woman who inspired the song was black. So, food for thought!

Pretty sure biracial sharpshooter Alyssa Locke is on the nom list already, considering she's half of the series' most popular pairing. But I missed the chance to add Korean-American ex-LAPD Troubleshooters operative Lindsey Fontaine, Mexican team medic Jay Lopez, Black/Vietnamese SEAL Vihn Murphy, and LT "Jazz" Jaquette, the well-respected black officer who serves Team Sixteen's XO and has never, ever gotten his own story. Drat. At least we have Martell! And Ric, who I love almost as much.

See, you weren't around when I was editing the character list! But we might be able to add them during wrangling.
