sophistry | (no subject)

I am so tired, I feel like my eyeballs are actually melting inside my head. HOWEVER, there is a seminar on the history of museums and galleries in Ireland from 1773-present that I want to go to (shut up) at 4:15, so I will bravely soldier on.

I am frantically trying to come up with fandoms I want to nominate for Yuletide, and am blanking pretty horrifically. Sadly, I am also fairly sure that this will only get worse when it comes to actual sign-ups, ohgod. At the moment, my list of possible fandom nominees is as followed:

Aubreyad	(obviously)
Rome	(also obvious)
Bones	(if it still qualifies as small enough; idk, I'm not involved with the fandom at all)
Watchmen	(I am pretty unsure about this - how the hell do you fic WATCHMEN; it almost seems sacrilegious - but I just want something to cherish before the movie unleashes a tide of fangirls intent on redeeming the Comedian because he is played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan or pretending that Nite Owl isn't kind of gone to seed or woobiefying Rorschach I COULD GO ON D: D: D:)
World War Z	(zombies = awesome; alternate history = awesome; alternate zombie history = double-plus awesome)
To Say Nothing of the Dog	(/general Connie Willis timetravelverse)

And... that is all I can think of at the moment, though I know there must be more small fandoms that I love. I mean, at present this list means I don't have to narrow anything down, but... you know. D:

ANYWAY, DUDES - are you taking part? And if so, what are you nominating?

(Don't judge me, but I am also kind of tempted to ask for platonic! RPF of... certain people. I won't lie, I totally want them to be BFF.)

...Oh, maybe Deadwood. Or Cinderella Man. Or The Iron Giant...

To Say Nothing of the Dog! Slapstick period comedy fic! <333

I am indeed participating; my nominations consisted of five zillion Diana Wynne Jones fandoms (I do not intend to actually request for all of these but I had to make sure all the smaller ones got properly represented!) and Cold Comfort Farm (the book involves a Sensible Lady tackling ridiculous genre conventions in the English Gothic, clearly there must be a sequel in which she tackles ridiculous sci-fi/fantasy genre conventions!), the Company books (Joseph and Lewis buddyfic! Latif being awesome fic! ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES), and the Bloody Jack books that I wrote my thesis on (there needs to be a thriving lesbian slash fandom for these books and it fills me with tragedy that it does not yet exist.)

Stay awake! You can do it! I am currently feeling similarly, but kind of have to go to class from 1-4.

Yuletide: I think Bones is eligible? I really hope Bones is eligible and that people nominate it, anyway, because it's one of, like, three fandoms that I'm willing to offer to write. Also, I feel the SAME WAY about Watchmen -- the idea of trying to write fic is kind of terrifying, but I want to see something good before the movie comes out and the fangirl deluge commences.

I nominated ... uh, I am pretty sure it was The Red Star, Star Wars: X-Wing (books or comics), Run Fatboy Run, Iron Man (comics), Burn Notice, and Hellboy (movie); I say 'pretty sure' because I was changing my mind so much that I'm not entirely sure what I nominated now. I'm living on the wild side with X-Wing and the Iron Man comics; I'm not sure either will be considered a small enough fandom. We'll see, I guess!

Obama-Clinton RPF terrifies me a little. But there's something terrifying every year, and I'm pretty sure it couldn't be any more traumatic than Care Bear orgies or Tom Brady and some other quarterback sexually dominating Peyton Manning. :D

In Bruges!! That is up there, so I had to nominate it. \o/ And Wings of Desire/Faraway So Close, because. Duh. Ji said it was sort of sacrilegious, and I've seen similar comments about Castiel-mooning in the SPN fandom. >.> Dude. I am driving that handbasket. Anyway, I nominated those. And PO'B, obviously, and some kind of predictable tiny fandoms (there can never be enough Murder Mysteries fic. EVER).

And I finally have To Say Nothing of the Dog! I got it toward the end of my lying-around-on-drugs phase, which meant I went back to work and haven't yet read any of it. :/ Hopefully I will get to read it before signups. o.O

Obama/Clinton RPF... well, I could handle them being BFF, but it sort of looks like that's where they are now. Or that's what they're projecting, anyway. D'awwww.

I hear there is new Watchmen (movie) footage. Torn! Though I'll probably give in before March, who are we kidding.

Oh shit Yuletide! I should do that. I think I will second

unravels suggestion of In Bruges. And World War Z hell yes.

I dunno what else. *frowns* I'm bad at this game.

I just want something to cherish before the movie unleashes a tide of fangirls intent on redeeming the Comedian because he is played by Jeffrey Dean Morgan or pretending that Nite Owl isn't kind of gone to seed or woobiefying Rorschach I COULD GO ON D: D: D:

Oh, god, I hadn't even thought of that. WHY MUST FANDOM RUIN EVERYTHING

I signed up, I signed up! As I have every year. *squishes Yuletide*

I nominated Neverwhere, Avatar, Fringe, Divine Secrets of the Ya Ya Sisterhood, and, uh, I forgot the fifth.
