Nominated Sutcliff Fandoms for Yuletide!

[carmarthen]

The Yuletide tag set has been announced on yuletide_admin! It's not 100% final yet, but I can't imagine any of the Sutcliff fandoms will have issues staying in. (Yuletide, if anyone doesn't know about it, is an annual rare fandom fic exchange.)

I think only three of these were nominated last year (and two produced no fic), and some of the favorites like Eagle

Whoa - Brother Dusty-Feet, seriously? I'd love to know what that nomination's about.

[carmarthen]

I was a little surprised to see that--I haven't read it, though. That and Sword Song (I thought I was the only person with any interest in fic for that book) surprised me the most.

Fingers crossed for lots of awesome Sutcliff fic!

[hedgebird]

Well BDF is nice and all but it's definitely one of the kiddie books, which I would've thought of less interest to most ficcers - I see she's mostly nominated the adult characters, though.

Hey, I'd read the hell out of Sword Song fic. The end of the book is sort of like - a resolution for Bjarni but a beginning for Angharad?

[carmarthen]

It is! And Angharad was pretty much my favorite, so I'd really like to see how she adapts to life among Vikings with Bjarni. I just get...stuck on how to write Bjarni.

[hedgebird]

Is it that you find Bjarni unsympathetic, or just opaque?

[carmarthen]

I don't find him very sympathetic, although he's getting better by the end if the book, but that's less of an issue for me as a writer than his opacity. I just can't figure him out (and hence will not be offering SS for YT this year, alas).
