Yuletide nominations

[springgreen]

OMG! I am already getting so exciting by continually refreshing the list of nominated fandoms. Also, I am trying to see if someone else will nominate one of the fandoms I did, because mine currently only have one vote each, and I just thought of one more I wanted to add!

Right now, I have nominated Cruel Intentions (skanky rich white teenagers playing mind games!), Honey and Clover (I am sure no one is surprised), Ellen Kushner's story "The House of Nine Doors," Nana, obscure yaoi manga Kawaii Hito (mostly just because I am a sucker for the unrequited love of the two side characters in Extra 02), and Lust, Caution (movie). So the movie hasn't even come out yet! But it will be out in a week, and it is NC-17 with Tony Leung and a planned assassination and angsty sex, and I feel very certain that once I see it, I will be dying for fic!

But I am sad because no one has nominated Her Majesty's Dog or Tramps Like Us/Kimi wa petto yet! And unsure if Count Cain is Cain Saga/Godchild!

Also, I am dying to nominate the song "The Queen and the Soldier," so I'm trying to decide which fandom to swap it with, since I seriously doubt anyone else will nominate the song.

By the way, this is my not-so-subtle way of attempting to get someone else to nominate either the song or one of the above fandoms that I already nominated so I can nominate the song ;).

Well, like I said, I just started. And then I couldn't find any more Nana (it's all on hold at the library) so I started reading Paradise Kiss to hold me over... I will neither confirm nor deny that I cried, is all I'm sayin'. ^_^

Awwww, Paradise Kiss! I'm also happy to see it nominated for Yuletide.

I love Yazawa Ai so much, and I wish more of her stuff were translated over here.

I nominated Paradise Kiss! I'm not sure if I'm actually going to request it or not, though. I really like all six things I nominated, plus Ugly Betty, which I knew someone else would nominate so I didn't have to waste a slot on, but now I'm going to have to pare it down to four for the sign-ups... *wibbles*

Yay!

I'm still completely undecided about what to request! I keep changing my mind! I'm pretty sure Nana and Honey and Clover have guaranteed spots, but everything else changes by the second.

I have three that I'm sure on (Transamerica (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transamerica), Trumpet (http://www.amazon.com/Trumpet-Novel-Jackie-Kay/dp/0375704639/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-1389490-0671225?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1189686710&sr=8-1), and Ma Vie en Rose (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ma_Vie_en_Rose)), but it's the fourth spot I wibble over... On the one hand, George/Isabella would mean I have a 100% chance of getting fic about trans characters (as would a request for Alexis from Ugly Betty), but on the other hand, I've been jonesing for something set in Max Brooks' World War Z universe. Arrrrrgh!

Meanwhile, I need to finish the Nana fic I'm writing as a last-minute NYR or I won't be able to sign up at all!

Ooooo. I encourage George/Isabella out of purely selfish reasons! And Nana fic! Yay more Nana fic! (what prompt are you working from)

[kyuuketsukirui.livejournal.com]

Of the three prompts there, I think the one that best fits is "Melymbrosia - Nana Komatsu/Nana Osaki - Friendship or femslash okay". Yours didn't say if you were okay with femslash or not, and this is Nana/Ren with her having dreams/fantasising about Hachi (I do hate that there is no way to differentiate between their names when writing in English!) and the other one had no details at all, which always makes me hesitant.

Ohhhhh interesting! For the record, I am ok with basically everything (except possibly "Shouji was so right" fic, but I do not see anyone writing that)! But that doesn't mean you have to write for me! I cheer Nana stories on in general!
