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

I'll probably offer at least one of those, and maybe request one.

For nominations, it's been an unusually good crop for old favorite authors of mine. There were tons of C.J. Cherryh and Diana Wynne Jones noms, too.

I am perennially hoping for someone else to write The Shining Company fic so I don't have to. :-P That and Blood Feud I'm really hoping will get some stories, although I'd be excited to see fic for any of these, even the ones I haven't read yet!

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!

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.
