Yuletide Nominations
Sep. 26th, 2012 11:19 pmCrap.
Yuletide only allows you to nominate three fandoms, but you can request four. Once the nomination form is accepted, it cannot be changed. And it doesn't tell you if something has already been accepted before you submit. So if you have four different fandoms you would like to request fic in, and nobody else nominates one of them, you are SOL. Or if you, like me, want three desperately and have one or two others that would be really cool, you ask for the three you most desperately want and hope someone else nominates one of the others--unless you know that someone else has or will request one of your three top fandoms, leaving you with a slot to request one of your second tier fandoms.
On the spreadsheet run by volunteers based on what people report has been accepted, Batman Beyond hadn't been accepted yet. So I put it as one of my three nomination fandoms (along with Donovan's Reef and Temeraire). It's already been accepted, all but one character I nominated, so obviously someone else nominated it. If I'd known that, I would have nominated either Bride and Prejudice or The Moon Is A Harsh Mistress.
I mean, come on, I get that generating a constantly updating list of everything that has been requested so far would be way to server-intensive, and therefore impractical. But how much server load would it take to have an asterisk or pop up or something when you enter in a fandom or character that has already been added to the Yuletide tag set?
If anyone has any spare noms, please nominate one or both of those fandoms! You can nominate without needing to participate in Yuletide itself! All you need is an AO3 account. (And, by the way, if you are waiting for an AO3 account, you will automatically get one now if you want to participate in Yuletide.) Nomination Form. Tutorial.
Bride and Prejudice
1. Lalita
2. Darcy
3. Balraj
4. Jaya
Heinlein--The Moon is a Harsh Mistress
1. Mike
2. Manny
3. Wyoh
4. ________________ (if you're not familiar with the canon, Professor de la Paz would probably be a good fourth person to nominate)
