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.

The ABCFamily dramedy Huge does a really good job of trying to show diversity in general, taking into account size, ability, gender, and sexuality as well as race--but right here, we're talking race. :D There are four main characters of colour (Becca Huffstetter, Dr. Rand, and Chloe and Alistair Delgado), and they're all complex people with interesting personalities and worthwhile storylines that allow them to grow as people. This is a show about characters in the process of figuring out who they are and how to express their identities to the people around them, and it's a delight to watch. And since I think one of the most enjoyable aspects of the show is watching those identities grow naturally out of their characters, rather than walking knowing who they all are, I'm not going to list out what's happening with any of them.

The show is ten hour-long episodes and is good right from the start, though it's my personal opinion that the show really finds its feet in episode 3, Live Action Role-Playing...in which Becca attempts to start a LARP group at camp. It's amazing and fantastic and worth giving a try. Oh, and available in full on Hulu at this time.
