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 ;).

It's not just Viz. See, I haven't actually been reading manga in English since before this big publishing wave. I bought one of the Godchild volumes in Japanese years ago because I could read the title easily. (Goddo Chailudo or something in katakana) I always get all confused when things are released here since I only know the original titles (or whatever's on the cover of the Japanese volumes since the title isn't always that obvious). I wish it were easier for me to look things up--I tend to buy whatever used manga looks interesting and then realize that I have book 3 out of 12 or something.

Oh I know! It is so frustrating to have to re-figure out titles when it goes from one language to another! I used to read manga in Chinese when I was in Taiwan, and when the manga boom hit here, I had an incredibly difficult time figuring out what was what. Especially because they categorize series by title here, so I couldn't just go by transliterated author name.
