Yuletide thoughts
I nominated 3 things this year, all three of which have been approved:
1. The Darkangel Trilogy by Meredith Ann Pierce, with Eoduin, Syllva, Sabr, and worldbuilding (because I think someone else had already nommed Aeriel, Irrylath, and Erin). I always want more female characters and worldbuilding for that fandom. It is my perennial tiny fandom of the heart, and it deserves far more than the 40 extant works it has on AO3 (plus I think a couple of 3-sentence ficathon fills floating around various corners of the internet).
2. The Saga of the Skolian Empire by Catherine Asaro, which I will continue to nominate until somebody finally writes me the Lisi-centric story of my dreams, goddammit. (I am kind and also nominate Jai, Kelric, and Dehya every year, partly because those are the three characters I am most interested in seeing Lisi encounter, but also because they're each already the protagonist of at least one book so maybe someone else will discover a sudden need for a story centered on one of them. You never know!)
3. The Greenwing & Dart series by Victoria Goddard, with Violet, Lark Indrilline, Mrs. Jullanar Etaris, and worldbuilding. Because again, I would like more stories centered on female characters, all three are awesome (Lark in a horrifying way, but still), and I would pay actual cash money for a story focusing on any combination of those three having some kind of adventure or fraught conversation. :D
So that's three requests neatly sewn up. I may add another request or two if something really jumps out at me from the tagset, but those are the ones I wanted to make SURE existed. If you want to comment on this post, you can do so over here on Dreamwidth, where there are currently (
