Yuletide nominations
Sep. 14th, 2012 11:54 pmI can't believe it's that time of year already. Anyway, I'm definitely going to recycle two of my requests from last year that didn't get filled:
- the Paksenarrion series by Elizabeth Moon (I want gen fic about Paksenarrion)
- the Hainish cycle by Ursula K. Le Guin (I want fic about Laia Odo, the founder of the Odonian movement on Anarres, or more generally fic for the Dispossessed. I wouldn't say no to Left Hand of Darkness fic either.)
I'll nom the second of these (I know someone else who will nominate the first).
Things I might want to request:
- Wilby Wonderful (gen fic about Emily and/or Sandra)
- 3:10 to Yuma (the remake) (Ben Wade/Dan Evans)
- the Spin series by Chris Moriarty (Li/Cohen)
- Deadwood (Jane/Joanie)
I've also pondered requesting Clare/Irene from the 1920's novel Passing by Nella Larsen. It's about two women who have made different life choices but who keep being fascinated and drawn to each other--there's a very clear erotic subtext. It's been some time since I listened to it, though (there's a great reading of it on Librivox) and I'd have to reread/listen to remember it well, so I might not prioritize this one. Has anyone read it?
Also,![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
malnpudl has talked me into shipping Robert Lee/James Longstreet from the American Civil War novel The Killer Angels by Michael Shaara (or, you know, it's historical RPF, but I don't know how much the actual people were like the author's interpretations). It really is extremely slashy.
Oh, and also, I'd read slash for the Mark Knopfler song "Sailing to Philadelphia". Except that I really know nothing about Mason and Dixon except for what's in that song. And, weirdly, I want a science fiction fic for the Dire Straits song "Brothers in Arms" (it's the line "there's so many different worlds" that does it for me).
...so why exactly am I shipping people from American history? It's not like I actually know much about American history, since I'm not, y'know, American. Weird. Ah well.
Anyway, in conclusion: two of my nominations are still open!
