Nobody has yet conveniently nominated any of the fandoms I was thinking of for Yuletide. Which leaves me unable to narrow it down to three! People, it is up to you:



1. I have requested Lucky Starr repeatedly since year one, and offered it every year, and other people offer/request it too, and yet none of it has ever been written for yuletide.
2. We have to keep Madelyn Mack rolling, don't we? Also: canon is available legally and free.
3. There needs to be Pinkwater fic. It really should be nominated under "Pinkwater - Works" because it's one semi-cohesive universe, but everyone previous years has requested individual books/subseries, so I'm not sure how nominating the umbrella fandom would go down, or how that would work with matichng. And Lizard Music is available free-legal-on-the-net as an audiobook read by the author.
4. LIBERTY/JUSTICE BONDAGE FEMMESLASH PORN. Or the fandom I think of as "lots of smart, sexy, women with swords." If I requested this, somebody would probably write it. But on the other hand it might act as a nuclear option like the year I requested DW/LJ and kill my chances of getting anything else. Also I'd probably need to finally get around to writing that fandom overview/guide for Victorian civic allegory.
5. Harriet Adams/Nancy Axelrod: I really really want this. I doubt anyone else in the world does, though. And even if they do, they probably don't feel qualified to write it, either.
6. There needs to be more panel comedy RPF - they put like six slash prompts in an average episode of one of those, c'mon - but I don't like having to split it up by show because it's the same people on all the shows (even though I think somebody's already nominated WILTY) and British Comedy in general might be too big to qualify for Yuletide, but I don't think a "panel show" sub-fandom is really established (even though there is a LJ community for it), so I don't really know how to nominate here.

Brief, belated yard sailing update:

yesterday, HOPE sale: five crochet hooks, $.50; hand-woven, hand-embroidered pouch for costuming: $.50

last week: Knights of Columbus sale: 2 hardbound notebooks @$1, one spiral-bound sketchbook @$1, 3 pamphlet cookbooks (Sunmaid Raisins, 1921; Outdoor Cooking with Reynolds Wrap, early '50s; Chiquita Banana, 1956) @$1, "On the Seas: A Book for Boys" (c. 1870s), $1. At the high school sale: two 1950s Hardy Boys hardcovers w/ good condition dust jackets, @$.50 (she was asking only a nickel each but after overpaying for all the other books I refused to underpay by that much for the actual collectible ones.)

There will be a brief, small flurry of pre-holiday bazaars, and then the season will end for another year; I'll probably to a wrap-up in January and then you won't have to put up with these posts anymore.

Here is something that is fandomy, yet has nothing whatsoever to do with AO3 or OTW. You're welcome.

(No, I don't know where all this is coming from. ... well, yes I do, it's coming from my desperate need to not work on NaNo, I just don't know why Avengers of all the possible things.)

Title: Of Phil, Son of Coul
Fandom: Avengers movieverse x Welsh mythology
Content: 1700 words, gen, slightly cracky, no warnings
Notes: Every time somebody has Thor use the phrase "Son of Coul" I think of this, so now maybe you will too. :P
Summary: ( The Avengers are fighting a giant pussycat in Battery Park. Then it gets weirder. )
