Yuletide.
Yuletide signups start tomorrow (fucking finally), and here's the list of fandoms that made it through the final cut. On the downside, Pokemon and Team Fortress 2 made it (WTF.) while Leverage got the boot. Blerg. On the upside, Axis Powers Hetalia also didn't make it, so hurray for that, at least.
Well, besides the loss of Leverage, all of my nominations made it, so at least there's that. I also have a list of fandoms whose presence on the list make me very happy, so here they are.
Chi's Sweet Home (hugs to gibbon_plinth for nominating this)
Designing Women
Despicable Me
Dracula 2000 (best crappy vampire movie ever)
Final Fantasy III
Final Fantasy IV
Final Fantasy X-2
Final Fantasy XIII
Girl Genius
Hocus Pocus
How to Train Your Dragon
In Plain Sight (even though I don't watch it anymore)
Jim C. Hines' Princess Series (so awesome)
Kiki's Delivery Service
Kingom of Loathing
Libba Bray's Gemma Doyle trilogy
My Little Pony (I hope to use this one for evil)
My Neighbor Totoro
MST3K
Mythbusters
Oglaf
His Dark Materials
Phoenix Wright (shouldn't even be on the list, but I'm not complaining)
Pokemon (again, it shouldn't be here, but might as well enjoy it)
RED
Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead
Team That Guy With The Glasses
Runaways
Space Cases
Spirited Away
Steel Magnolias
10th Kingdom
Terry Pratchett's Nation
The Addams Family (movies only)
The Room (You're tearing me apart, Lisa!)
The World Ends With You
Up
XKCD
Discworld
Folklore
And here are my actual nominations, minus Leverage, which is clearly unloved by Yuletide mods.
30 Rock
Azumanga Daioh (manga)
Bonnie Bryant - Saddle Club universe
The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion
Shark (2006)
I'm still not entirely sure what I'm going to request/offer beyond Shark and Oblivion, but I've got a lot of great fandoms to pick from, so it'll be a tough but fun decision. Yuletide is, dare I say it, becoming fun again for me, despite all of the wankery and bad decisions surrounding a questionable archive and making it ready.
