Chromatic fandom collecting!

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.

Its still in my to-read pile so I don't have an opinion of my own yet, but a lot of my friends have been recommending Wizard of the Crow by Ngugi wa Thiong'o, a dystopian satire from Kenya.

If his fiction is anything like his nonfiction... *puts on TBR list too*
