Yuletide nomination musings
On the 25th, Yuletide nominations start, so I'm pondering which I'll nominate this year. The Americans again, and I'm already coordinating that over at the community. Black Sails, of course, and here alas there is no community (that I know of, and I continue to avoid tumblr if I can). Since it would be lovely to have more than four characters to choose from, I have to ask: gentle readers of these lines, are you watching Black Sails and if so, would you care to nominate it for Yuletide in coordination with me so we can each nominate different characters? I like almost the entire ensemble! (And it's a huuuge ensemble.)
That leaves two more fandoms. I think I'm going to nominate the Shardlake series by C.J. Sansom in the hope that someone will write me a story about Guy, but I'd also take case fic, or a Tamasin pov story that fleshes her out, or a story set post Lamentation in which Matthew settles in his new job for Elizabeth, or backstory (young idealistic Matthew meets Cromwell, gets hired, maybe?), or, well, anything. Again: huge ensemble. If there are other Shardlake readers out there, would you be willing to nominate a few characters? It doesn't mean you have to write anything!
Fourth fandom: Agent Carter is out of the question due to the MCU connection, but Better Call Saul should qualify, and I want Jimmy & Kim, or Jimmy/Kim. Backstory, first season era story, Breaking Bad era story speculating what happened with Kim during that time, post Breaking Bad era story in which Kim meets "Gene" - don't care, gimme. Since I have no other wishes in this fandom, I'm game to nominate whichever other two characters you want, gentle reader, should you also wish for Better Call Saul characters at Yuletide. (Wait, on second thought, I do have another wish, but I don't think Daredevil is a tiny enough fandom, because again, MCU connection. But I still dream of that crossover where Jimmy temporarily ends up working for Nelson & Murdock.)
In other news: BBC Radio 4 did a radio production on Ava Lovelace, starring Sally Hawkins as Ada, Anthony Stewart Head as Charles Babbage, and Olivia Williams as Ada's mother, Annabella, Lady Byron. It was broadcast today, which means you can listen to it for another week at least here.
