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 N.K. Jemison - The Effluent Engine which is steampunk, written for Help Haiti, where in the main characters are both women of color who are brilliant, there is awesome use of steampunk-y science and technology, and both New Orelans and Haiti are treated almost as characters themselves.

It's a short story, so you can pick on the canon in about twenty minutes. The Effluent Engine.

I just read this yesterday -- it's a fantastic story, plus its heroines are queer women at that! ^^

[bessemerprocess]

Yes! It's awesomeness knows no bounds!

Oh, thank you so much for the link! I love N.K. Jemison's stuff.

Thanks for the link to that short story, I had never heard of it before and I've just read it and I loved it (except the end). I haven't read The Hundred-Thousand Kingdoms because secondary universes stories are really hard for me to be interested in but I shall take a closer look. She sounds like such an awesome author.
