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 nominated:

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. I just bought the first four seasons on DVD and have fallen in love with the Banks family all over again, but there's no fic despite how well-known the show is.

So Close. This one's a Hong Kong espionage/martials arts film starring Shu Qi, Zhao Wei and Karen Mok as two sisters who work together as professional assassins (Shu Qi and Zhao Wei) who get into a cat-and-mouse game with Karen Mok, a police officer. There's so much backstory to explore between the sisters, how they grew up and decided to do what they do. Other than that there's also delicious chemistry between Zhao Wei and Karen Mok, the later of which who's determined to hunt the sisters down, only things aren't quite as black and white as she thinks they are.

I was going to nominate Big Trouble in Little China, but I saw someone else has done it already. It's an action-adventure/fantasy/comedy film directed by John Carpenter and set in San Francisco Chinatown. Two of the main characters are white, but just about everyone else in the cast is either Asian-American or mainland-China Chinese -- and their stories are begging to be explored.
