Yuetide Nominations!
It's that time again! Nominations for Yuletide, the rare fandom holiday fic exchange, are open from now until 17 September, 9 AM UTC, and Lolitics is still eligible. We've gotten some great stories in the past, and hopefully we will again this year.
Because of the way Yuletide works, it pays for us to coordinate our nominations.
Everyone can nominate four characters per fandom, but we can't see the characters that have already been nominated when we make our own nominations. By coordinating our character lists in advance we can ensure there's no overlap and we get as broad a set of characters as possible. Also, you can request one more fandom than you can nominate, which means that if all the Lolitics characters everyone wants are covered we may be able to free someone up to nominate another fandom.
The nominations form is here. Just click on the link, log into your AO3 account, and fill out the form for whichever fandoms you're nominating. If you don't have an AO3 account, you can email the Yuletide mods to request an invite code at yuletideadmin@gmail.com.
If you're not sure how to do it, there's an official tutorial here.
Our AO3 fandom tag is Political RPF - UK 20th-21st c. It should auto-fill once you begin to type it in, as should most character names.
Please reply to this post with the list of characters you've planning to nominate so we don't duplicate each others' nominations. We'll get a broader range of characters if we take care not to overlap, so check it out before you nominate!
Anon commenting is on, so if any Tumblrites are around you can join in as well.
Everyone else, please enjoy this complimentary picture of David Cameron enjoying his new life of leisure:
