Chromatic fandom collecting!

[springgreen]

I realize it is super early, but I always come up with fandoms I want to nominate for Yuletide right after Yuletide is over, and then forget them as soon as nominations come up.

So, for the record (and for general brainstorming):

- Peking Opera Blues (1986 HK movie with Brigitte Lin crossdressing, 3 female main characters, and a ton of femslashy subtext)
- Dearling Physique's Discipline Your Hands music vid.
- Karen Lord's Redemption in Indigo for some African-based fantasy
- Amitav Ghosh's Calcutta Chromosome for Indian SF
- Woman Who Still Wants to Marry (kdrama)

Anyone? I am hoping to find more Latin@, African, and indigenous sources for the coming year.

Mediacorp Channel 8's Mandarin drama 《小娘惹》 (The Little Nyonya), which was sold to Cambodia, China, and various Asian markets, was a breakout hit in 2008, while disastrously genderfail. (It also yellow-washed Peranakan culture by replacing Malay patois with Mandarin.) Nonetheless, I hope there's enough of an SEAsian viewership to tackle this source! (It's one of my guilty pleasurez.)

Also, to all the Filipino and Singaporean fen out here -- Mediacorp also bought the dub to Tayong Dalawa, which is Classic Azn Soap Opera and yet so delightfully frothy and sugary like burnt cream.

*is stuck on Azn Soap Operas, whee*
