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 (probably) nominating:

Avatar: Legend of Korra (characters are all chromatic, creators are mostly white) -- this is probably the only year that Legend of Korra will count as obscure, so I figured I'd nominate it even though it hasn't aired yet and there's only concept art and a premise. But Korra sounds awesome and should get to have many adventures.

Whale Rider (characters are all chromatic; the book is by a Maori writer, but the movie is directed by a non-Maori New Zealander) -- this is a film about a girl who is the only surviving child in the line of male chiefs. There needs to be fic about her grown-up adventures.

Sleep Dealer (characters are all chromatic; it's a Mexican film with mostly chromatic creators) -- this is one of the best scifi films I've seen in a long time; it's got a great concept, brilliant worldbuilding, and interesting character interactions.

And in the complicated category, I'm also nominating:

Super Mario Galaxy I and II (chromatic creators; the main characters of the series are white, but I'm only nominating non-human characters like cosmic clones and toads) -- so much fun!

and RPF - NBA (many NBA players are chromatic, but I only nominated Amar'e Stoudemire, an African-American forward previously with the Phoenix Suns and currently with the NY Knicks; no creators) -- Amar'e Stoudemire is one half of my mid-aughts basketball OTP, which was Steve Nash/Amar'e Stoudemire, one of the best point guard/forward combinations in the NBA. If you're interested in NBA RPF, here's a vid about their amazing plays [song contains gunfire].

Sleep Dealer is on Netflix, too, so it's pretty easy to get to.
