Sep. 14th, 2017 08:47 amI know that only about 1/3 of all participants use the nomination coordinating spreadsheet, but that is making things very hard for me. Because I would assume that Rivers of London, which has been a perennial Yuletide fandom for years, would be nominated? Because it always is? BUT IT IS NOT ON THE SPREADSHEET?!? And if someone else will be nominating it, I would like to use my slots for other fandoms that pretty much won't be nominated by anyone else, BUT WHAT IF THIS IS THE YEAR FANDOM FAILS ME?!? I wasn't in RoL fandom last year!
Here are some of the other fandoms I am considering nominating, and I need to make a decision like, NOW.
Random Harvest (1942)--classic, classic melodrama starring the ineffable Greer Garson. Tropetastic.
Archandroid - Janelle Monae--another one that others often nom, and there hasn't been new canon for a while, but always reliable for some great worldbuilding fic.
Kitty Foyle (1940)--Ginger Rogers showing why she is an AWESOME actress. I want the fic that covers the original ending, the one that the studio and the censors made them change: she keeps the baby and raises him out of wedlock.
Hobson's Choice (1954)--I want more of Maggie and Will! So much more.
Here are the fandoms I would request fic in if someone else nommed them, but wouldn't take up a nomination slot for:
Lord Peter Wimsey - Dorothy Sayers--classic cozy mysteries, and I love Peter and Harriet and Bunter all together.
The Moon is a Harsh Mistress - Heinlein
My Fair Lady
Batman Beyond
And, again, Batman Beyond is pretty likely to be nommed, and so is Peter Wimsey, but NEITHER IS ON THE SPREADSHEET OMG.
I just need to figure out a) whether I can take the risk of RoL not being nominated, and b) if so whether to drop Kitty Foyle or Hobson's Choice. (If I nom RoL, Kitty and Hobson are both gone.)
Looking at that list, I am REALLY into classic movies this year. I guess.
ETA: There is a second spreadsheet of noms, and Rivers of London is on it. Peter, Thomas, Varvara, Seawoll, Lesley, Stephanopoulos, and Sahra are the characters. I have accordingly nominated Random Harvest, the Archandroid, and Hobson's Choice.
