We were drying mushrooms for a full week, with a sort of assembly line system involving several screen windows and the oven...but now they're done. \o/
Anyway, Yuletide! I definitely want to nominate and request Flemington by Violet Jacob, because it is very slashy and there needs to exist fic for it. Link goes to my review for it.
I don't actually feel the need to request/offer Flight of the Heron since I'm writing so much for it anyway, but maybe it would be good to do it anyway for fandom promotion? Although I see that I completely missed the fandom promotion post, which has been up for almost ten days already. /o\ Did any of you other fans post in it?
Hmmm, what else? I'm not that much inclined towards fic for the other Broster books, I think. Possibly Naomi Mitchison's Travel Light, since I recently reread that?
I guess my problem is that I've been so monofannish this year that when I look at my earlier Yuletide requests, I just feel kind of meh about them, because it's been so long since I thought about those canons?
How about you, do you know what you're going to nominate/request?

Date: 2020-09-23 02:37 pm (UTC)I was not initially planning to nominate/request Flemington, but listening to your librivox audiobook is changing my mind :D So much slashiness in there I didn't notice when I first read it. (I mean, I did notice a lot of slashiness, of course, but there's even more that I missed.)
I also have Patrick O'Brian and CS Forester (Hornblower books) on my yuletide list, but can't make up my mind about any of DK Broster's books. In most cases (except FotH) I feel like her novels already contain everything I want from the story, so I don't really feel the need to read or write fic...
Most years my modus operandi has been: 1) notice nominations are open and make a long list of everything that interests me, 2) forget to make nominations, 3) notice signups are open, 4) realise I cannot come up with enough fandoms to offer, 5) wait until the following year and repeat the same mistake!

Date: 2020-09-25 02:16 pm (UTC)I've requested Diana fic for the Patrick O'Brian books several years, but it's been a bit too long since I read the books now. Hmm.

Yes, I agree.
