Yuletide nominations
I'm trying to figure out what to nominate. I've promoted Flight of the Heron and Flemington over on the YT promotion post, and for sure I will nominate and request Flemington, because there needs to be more fic for that.
For FotH, I'm not sure. I want to promote it as a fandom, obviously, but I am bad at writing prompts for it! In my past major fandom, due South, I wrote mostly short-length. I had lots of ideas and was good at writing ideas/prompts for exchanges. But it seems that FotH is a novel-length fandom for me, writing-wise, and I have correspondingly fewer ideas with which to prompt people with. Perhaps this is just the nature of the canon influencing my writing: a rather episodic TV show compared to a novel? Do you find that the nature of canon influences you that way?
Anyway, perhaps I could simply describe what I enjoy about canon, and what I enjoy in general terms, without giving ideas/prompts as I usually do in exchanges? I find that, with other people's FotH fic, the ones I enjoy most are often the ones which I would never have thought of myself (such as![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
regshoe's No Man Can Shun It).
As for other requests/nominations, hmmm. I don't feel the same impulse towards fic with Broster's other books. But I could definitely recycle my Left Hand of Darkness request, especially now when the exchange allows for requesting worldbuilding, which is what I always wanted for it!
What are your ideas? Is there any canon which you feel I ought to be reminded of?
