to end a life of wallflower shade

Whee, yuletide nominations opened yesterday! Christmas isn't twelve days, it's four months long. I'm okay with that, I think.

Insert my yearly encouragement, oh friendslist, to join in. It's so much fun. You can find any info you need here and here.

I'm going to enter my nominations now, I think; after all, I can change them later if I want. Plus, I've finally managed to narrow them down to six, and if I wait too long I might think of something else and be stymied again.

All my lists of possibilities--nominations, requests, offers--become more dominated by comic fandoms, every year. Not surprising, I suppose?

[ETA:] Someone nominated "RPF - Comic industry." WTF? I can't wait to see the "character" list for that one. *snerk*

oh, make it magnificent

I've been sitting my mother down and watching Firefly with her, which is nice. I don't think I've watched it in, oh, six months? Mmmm. Of course, people will call and interrupt.

So, thought I might post my Yuletide nominations. This is what I wound up with:
Desert Peach
Dykes To Watch Out For
Excalibur (1988 comic)
From Eroica With Love
RPF - Nautical
Strangers in Paradise

All comics, except for the RPF . . . go figure. I added Excalibur to the list, as well as Desert Peach. (Well, it was already there, but only because I suggested it two years ago: I'm pretty sure it's never been offered or requested, and the very underdeveloped character list had never been added to.)

Actually, I think I might have to go redo it, because I actually nominated "RPF - Pirates and Explorers," and then they changed it.

Now I'm thinking about ( what I might request )

I want to pinch-hit this year . . . so while I do want to stretch myself a bit, in what I offer, I also want to be careful. Last year I had a really difficult assignment, and while it was rewarding, it did take me right up to the deadline and stress me the heck out. Hmmm. I have thoughts about what I might offer, but that'll be easier to work out once the fandom list gets finalized.

Meanwhile, some other people have started posting their thoughts, which I always love to read about. ^^

Well, if my mother would get off the phone, we could finish watching "The Train Job." And then I can play with my brand new Macbook. *so happy*
