Chromatic Yuletide 2010 Nominations!
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 ofdharmavati, 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).

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.

Nominated two manga series:
Samurai Deeper Kyo (a rather cracked-out historical fantasy series about a semi-demonic swordsman and a magically powerful clan with a plan to take over Japan) and Kekkaishi (a modern-day fantasy series about teens who are members of rival demon-hunting families).
I also nominated C.J. Cherryh's Alliance-Union universe, which is multi-planet-spanning SF with not as many characters of color as I believe it could have, but there are a couple of awesome ones, specifically female asteroid miner Soheila "Sal" Aboujib (in the novels Heavy Time and Hellburner)and the terrifyingly intelligent starship captain Edmund Porey (Hellburner and Downbelow Station). Porey's cast as a villain but there's more to him than that.

Kekkaishi
SO MUCH YES.
