Yuletide nominations musings

[selenak]

Penny Dreadful, of course. There's at least one idea I really want to write, and more than one I'll request. We should coordinate our efforts, oh flist/circle, to get in more characters. I don't think any of us need to nominate Vanessa, or Ethan, they are a given. Sir Malcolm is not, so he'll be one of my four. I also want Lily, Caliban/John Clare/The Creature, Catriona Hartdegen and Dr. Seward, so if anyone would take one of them among their PDs? Pretty please? I also hope urgently someone will nominate Lyle, but more due to sympathy than to a concrete story idea.

The Americans: I love the show as much as ever, but I won't volunteer to write it this year, because I've ended up as the sole person writing The Americans stories for two years in a row, and I want to try something else. Depending on the prompts and whether I have time enough, I might write a The Americans treat, but for my main assignment, I want another fandom.

Black Sails: Pirates! Someone else will undoubtedly nominate Flint and Silver, and Billy is also popular enough to end up nominated on his own. Ditto Charles Vane, Jack Rackham and Anne Bonny. I'll nominate Madi, Max, Eleanor and Miranda, who aren't shoe-ins. Would be grateful for Mr. Scott, the Queen and Woode Rogers.

Books: I'll nominate the Shardlake mysteries again, not leaving it to accident. Last year someone wrote a beautiful aftermath of Lamentation story; maybe they can be seduced into writing more? Characters: am still hankering after a Guy past or present tale, but other than that, I have only vague ideas. I'd ask for Matthew being Elizabeth's lawyer in the upcoming Thomas Seymor fiasco were it not for the fact that I'm pretty sure Sansom will write that novel if he writes another book, given how Lamentation ends.

My PD character noms will be Malcolm, Evelyn, Catriona, and Seward, if that helps your list.

[selenak]

It does! I'll go for the two Creatures and Lyle then.

[gehayi]

You can only nominate three fandoms, though, right?

[selenak]

Someone said this year it's four, but if it's three, I'm not going to nominate The Americans. Someone else likely will anyway, and I don't have a big urge to write it after two years in a row.

[calliopes_pen]

Since I'm equally certain someone else will get Vanessa and Ethan, I could nominate Sembene, Renfield, and Hecate, leaving one spot open.

(The one scene wonder of Van Helsing, maybe?)

[selenak]

Inspector Rusk!

[calliopes_pen]

Yes! He will be the fourth one, then.

(I only just finished inhaling the series in less than 2 weeks not that long ago--surprised I forgot him.)

Oh, I'd love to nominate Henry Jekyll and ... Hmm, who's missing? Dorian? I guess? Maybe Angelique and Justine?

Anyone taking Victor or should I?

[selenak]

Since d_generate_girl already takes Malcolm, Catriona and Seward, I had intended to go for both Creatures, Lyle and Victor. I'm betting Dorian will be nominated one way or the other, but Angelique and Justine aren't likely to be, so yes! Please nominate. And for those two free spots, may I suggest Gladys and Mina? Or Peter. Because one never knows when the dead Murrays might come in handy to interact with Vanessa and/or Malcolm.

[moetushie]

Oh man, yeah, Mina. I think I'll go with Jekyll, Angelique, Justine, and Mina.
