Yuletide!

[springgreen]

Or, in which I actually return to my long-neglected journal.

And I just realized that Friday is the last day for nominations, and I haven't thought about what to ask for!

Current ideas:
Vampire Knight OMG want. Um. Unless it doesn't count for Yuletide anymore?
Cantarella for sure.

I am fairly certain I want Megan Lindholm's Ki and Vandien series and Chinese mythology and LJ Smith's Night World.

And then, I am drawing a blank... I figure I got a Nana fic last year, and there's been a small, yet steadily growing list of Angel Sanctuary. I'm considering re-nominating "The Queen and the Soldier" and Lust, Caution from last year. And I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to nominate dramas that aren't Coffee Prince, since I'd love to see something for Dal Ja's Spring and maybe Damo.

What has everyone else nominated?

I highly endorse the Cantarella vote! (Does Cantarella fic even exist?)

(Random aside-have you read any of Higuri's Seimaden?)

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

I have read a bit of Cantarella fic. But I can't remember when or where. It was good, though!

[springgreen.livejournal.com]

Must find now!

[springgreen.livejournal.com]

I want Sancia fic SO MUCH. SO MUCH!

I haven't read Seimaden, though I think I have it on my computer somewhere...

[meganbmoore.livejournal.com]

Based on the first 3 volumes, it's not as good as Cantarella, but it's more "MY ID! I SHOW IT TO YOU!" and it's fun seeing what's pretty much earlier versions of the characters.

Got it! (http://community.livejournal.com/springkink/tag/cantarella)

Vampire Knight probably still counts! I don't think the fandom for it is that large!

[springgreen.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I checked, and it has 1000+ stories on FF.net, which seems large to me. But then again, the latest stories I've written have been for things like Mushishi and Mars, so my definition of rare may be a little skewed.

That seems kind of non-obscure to me, but you could always nominate it and see what happens.

[the_rck]

I nominated Ayatsuri Sakon (aka Puppetmaster Sakon), Planet Ladder, Condor Hero, Babylon 5, Sky High and The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne.

[springgreen.livejournal.com]

Condor Hero the cdrama? Or is that something else? And yay Planet Ladder! Maybe there will be Bambi fic.

[the_rck]

Yes, Condor Hero the cdrama. I had to search around desperately online to figure out which version I'd seen (I found references to four or five different adaptations). I'm about 90% sure I nominated the right version-- the second time I signed up.

I'm hoping for Bambi fic. I'd settle for fic about any of the characters, but I'd adore Bambi fic. Maybe some day I'll write it, but I'm trying not to add anything to my pile of to-be-written fics. I'll just keep asking for Planet Ladder every year until I get fic.

Vampire Knight still counts, and I believe all of Yuki Kaori's oevre.

I've nominated DBSK (k-pop boyband), CSJH (k-pop girlband), Wild Adapter, Moulin Rouge, Big Fish, and Coffee Prince. Though I've been seriously debating with myself about changing Wild Adapter to either Silver Diamond or Bride of the Water God, because I know someone else will get Minekura covered, and I want those two in there.

[springgreen.livejournal.com]

OOOOO Bride of the Water God. I think I will nominate that, since you have Coffee Prince covered for me. Am considering Silver Diamond as well, though I feel like I haven't read enough of it to know what to ask for!

[chomiji]

Right now I'm leaning toward:

• E. Nesbit - Psammead triology (i.e., Five Children and It, The Phoenix and the Carpet, and The story of the Amulet)



• Elizabeth Lynn - Chronicles of Tornor



• Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service



• Michael Chabon - Gentlemen of the Road



• R.A. MacAvoy - Tea with the Black Dragon & Twisting the Rope



• Samurai Deeper Kyo

I'm including SDK at least in part because I want to add some of the Mibu arc characters: if I write or receive SDK fic, several of my favorites are missing from the current character list. (I'll be signing up with my other account.)

[springgreen.livejournal.com]

OMG Five Children and It! I used to read that as a kid! And yay to the MacAvoy.

[rachelmanija.livejournal.com]

Ann Maxwell's Fire Dancer, Diane Duane's Door series... and I forget what else!

[springgreen.livejournal.com]

Hee, if I nominate Silver Diamond, then we will have two of the three "talking snakes = comedy gold" fandoms covered.

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

I nominated RH Plus, Robertson Davies' Deptford novels, Jonny Quest, and...something else I don't remember now.

[springgreen.livejournal.com]

I cannot believe I only have a few more days to decide, ack!

[lady-ganesh.livejournal.com]

I just did it fast. Like a band-aid. :D
