Notes to Self: Yuletide Fandoms to Write/Request

[elegantpi]

This is just me exploring Yuletide suggested fandoms and fills, and thinking about what I would request or offer to write if I participate. If I do, it's going to be so difficult to choose just six to nominate! I've just finished reading the Yuletide FAQ, as well, and I'm about to stroll over to AO3 and read some of last year's fic.

Oh, how my list reminds me that I need to re-read some dear old favorite books. :) I can see the cover of Taliesin peeking out from under a pile of books near the wall - I think I'll spend the rest of the night reading it over again. It's my favorite of the Pendragon cycle. I've been watching Merlin lately, so Arthurian legend is on my mind.


Titles not on the Yuletide master list are bolded.

Books:

• Robert Jordan - The Wheel of Time series


• James Schmitz - The Witches of Karres


• C.S. Lewis - Out of the Silent Planet series


• Carl Sagan - Contact


• Guy Gavriel Kay - Tigana


• Star Trek: Diane Carey's Piper novels - Dreadnought / Battlestations


• Star Trek: Janet Kagan - Uhura's Song


• The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon (although Shonagon is listed in the RPF section, which I guess fits better. ;) )


• Edward Lucas White - The Unwilling Vestal


• Madeleine L'Engle - all series


• Mary Stewart - Arthurian Cycle


• Stephen Lawhead - Pendragon Cycle


• Mercedes Lackey - Valdemar Series / Bardic Voices (gods help me)


• Patricia A McKillip - The Sorceress & the Cygnet / The Cygnet & the Firebird


• Louise Marley - Sing the Light quartet / The Terrorists of Irustan


• Robin McKinley - Sunshine


• Frances Hodgson Burnett - The Secret Garden


• William Gibson - Pattern Recognition


• Arthur Golden - Memoirs of a Geisha

TV Series:

• Twin Peaks


• Babylon 5


• Star Trek: Deep Space 9 (surprised it wasn't on last year's list, but maybe doesn't qualify because it's Star Trek and once had a large fandom following? But B5's fandom has to be at least so large as DS9's...)


• Castle


• Dollhouse


• Leverage


• M*A*S*H


• Nikita tv series (2010)


• Rubicon

Movies:

• Bend it Like Beckham

(may add more to this list later)

Is it strange that my first reaction upon seeing this list was "Oooh, new books to read. Shiny!" followed by "she's a fan of Twin Peaks? ::squee::" :)

[elegantpi]

Not at all strange. I added a bunch of books to my "to read" list while skimming the Yuletide list. :D

Twin Peaks forever!!! I got the gold edition of the dvds a couple of years ago. I love the first season sooooo much. And Kyle McLachlan....!!!! Never get tired of watching him. Also, David Duchovny in drag. YES. FOREVER. Oh dear, now I must go make Twin Peaks icons. D:

I wish I had time to be writing fan fiction all the time. Last night, I went through the unfilled prompts from Yuletide 2009 and made a list of "I will write this when I have time (even after amnesty ends)." >.>
