1. Yuletide noms closed this morning - next up comes the fun! The full tag set, letters appearing, making requests! \o/

(And guess what? I nommed the 1968 TV Dracula as my third fandom. Just as I was about to repent my folly, some nonnie commented on the fandom promotion thread to say that they liked the look of it and that was all the

*eyes bingo card* Hmm. Good luck with that. Still, at least you don't actually have to write the fic yourself!

Pirate queens! In space! Have you seen "Cutthroat Island"? Not in space, but a pirate queen. Okay, she's not technically a queen, but she is an awesome pirate. I recall you saying you'd avoided "Treasure Island" at one time because of the lack of women, so "Cutthroat Island" might be the perfect film for you. Okay, I may be slightly biased as it's one of my favourite films, but still. I can actually rec a film that's really about a pirate queen - "Anne Of The Indes", from 1951, but the side-eyeing over epic sexism would probably make it not technically a rec. More an apology. But bits of it are good! ;)

Actually, I've probably written more of them than I care to admit! And I did a bit of brainstorming and realised a few fics that fit - as ever. But there are definitely some squares in there... 0_o

The PIrate Queen is a spaceship, though, really, and the crew aren't properly piratical, though they are unofficial and in search of treasure of sorts. I'm actually a lot less fond of pirates than of saying Pirates! or the idea of pirates. But I shall note Cutthroat Island because I do like the idea of pirate queens.

Pirates! :) "The Pirate Queen" is an excellent ship name, space or otherwise.

I will hopefully read that story later today.

*bows down to your all conquering obscurity* I saw you had thrown caution to the wind. Can't go wrong with vampires:) I should probably do a promo for 'Bulman' after ending my dithering (I'm still crossing my fingers that the people saying they were nomming vaguely popular things didn't change their minds at the last minute. Oh the tension! Again).

I'll stick to gen reccing - it's less scary;)

I have no prompt ideas other than ghosts! more ghosts! all the ghosts! Ich habe einen eye-patch! Scotland?

Hurrah for more fic! With eye-patches?

[lost_spook]

I know! Well, we can only wait for the glory that is the full tag set to be revealed. :-)

Er, thank you. I'm not sure how to translate that into a table, but I will bear it in mind!

♥ (No eye patches, sorry.)
