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'm planning to nominate three movies:

-Leonera, an Argentine drama about mothers in prison, includes a relationship between the lead, a light-skinned woman from a middle-class background, and a darker-skinned poor woman.

-Antônia, a Brazilian movie about four young black women who dream of making it big as a hip hop group. This trailer doesn't have subtitles but gives a good idea of what the movie is like.

-Caramel, a Lebanese movie about a group of women who work or hangout at the same beauty salon. One of the supporting characters is probably a lesbian.

All three of these movies were made in their respective countries and the casts are predominantly women of color. The last two are directed by women. All three are available for instant viewing on Netflix, so they should be easy canons for a lot of people to acquire.

Someone has already nominated Treme, David Simon's HBO drama about post-Katrina New Orleans, which I'm planning to request. Simon is white and the cast is mostly pretty evenly split (not just by numbers but by protagonism) between white and African American characters. So far there's just been one season, 13 episodes.

Most of the other fandoms I've had in mind have been nominated already, so I should have two or three extra spaces. Let me know if there's something you want to nom but don't have room for. :)
