luzulaAck, it's that time of year already. Last year I resolved to make a clean slate for this year's Yuletide, and only request things I'd never requested before. Well, maybe I'll recycle one request that I made for the first time last year.
So I looked through my reading list for the last year, and came up with these ideas for nominations:
Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian. Character: Diana Maturin
This is the one from last year that I want to recycle. But surely someone else will nominate it? Must check this.
Hwarhath Stories: Transgressive Tales by Aliens by Elizabeth Arnason. Characters: none/worldbuilding
Would gladly read more in this world. Not sure how to nominate it, though--there's another book, the novel Ring of Swords, in the same world, and I guess I'd want both books to be nominated as one canon. If I have to choose I'd choose the short story collection, though.
Hmm, what else? I love the Steerswoman books, but I don't know that I'm especially longing for fic from them. I see that I wanted Philylla/Erif fic when I read Naomi Mitchison's The Corn King and the Spring Queen, but now it's been months since I read the book and I don't have it clearly in my mind anymore. Then there are the classics that I always check out in Yuletide: the Earthsea books, the Hainish books (but I've requested those before), Watership Down, etc. Hmmm. And I do actually still want that Paksenarrion request that I've made every year, but I've given up on ever getting it.
Remind me of something I should nominate, O internet? I don't seem to be passionately longing for anything.

Have you given up on Papillon?
