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.

Diane Duane's Young Wizards series. White author. Chromatic colours are Kit Rodriguez (one of the three POV characters), his sister Carmela Rodriguez (very minor until the fifth book when she takes a level in awesome; each successive book has seen her ramp up the badass until in the eighth book she shoots the source of all evil in the head.) (It doesn't stick. But it's still pretty amazeballs considering she's not a wizard), plus their family who are pretty minor (mama Marina, pop Juan, and older sister Helena). The Rodriguez family is Hispanic-American (off the top of my head, I think Marina might be mixed-race.)

Darryl McAllister, who is African-American, is a less significant recurring character (he plays a major role in the sixth book and then cameos a bunch in successive books; he gets a relatively large amount of screentime in the ninth book.)

There are a bunch of minor characters and mentioned characters who I'm dying to see written about but I didn't get around to nomming so they're not on the list :-/ NEXT YEAR for me to request a story about Jarrah Corowa!

Intersectionality: Kind of an anti-rec: I really recommend people interested in disability activism skip the sixth book, which has a pretty unfortunate severely-autistic-wizard,-heal-thyself! storyline. No queer characters in canon but there is Word of Gay for a couple of minor characters (Tom & Carl, for those playing the home game. Not exactly a shock.)
