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.

Re: CHERUB

[smallfuzzy]

See, I read Alex Rider WANTING them to be another CHERUB and nearly threw the book across the room. It just wasn't right.

CHERUB is awesome. The main character is an ass probably over 50% of the time, but he gets called out for it again and again and again. And there are consequences! Frequently really bad ones! And I can HEAR my kid brother talking through the books half the times and damn, but I wish I'd known when he was younger to beat him over the head with them.

I read Scorpia, the fifth Alex Rider second. Which is *by far* the most interesting and complex of them (if you didn't get that far: Alex switches sides, a 40-yr-old women flirts with him and seduces him to evol, and Alex has an identity crisis). So I was so damn excited for a YA series which took a twisty premise and acknowledged it was twisty, but, um, I think my brain works different to Horowitz.

I shall heavily rec CHERUB to my little sister. Not that she's like your kid brother, but she could do with some intelligent spy novels since her Alex Rider obsession passed into Twilight. I think I even ripped the first audiobook for her a year or so back. I shall make sure it gets onto my iPod.
