Yuletide Noms! I think I've got a theme this year.

[seren_ccd]

Is so excited about Yuletide this year! I participated for the first time last year and it was a super challenge and the story I got in return was just gorgeous.

These are my noms for this year:

Aliens series (movie)
The Fall
Jennifer Crusie - Faking It
Madeleine LEngle - Austin Murry OKeefe families
Once Upon A Time in the West (movie)
The Young Riders

Yes, there is a slight western theme. I love Once Upon a Time in the West. I don't know why, but if you want me to sit still for three hours, put this film on. The Young Riders was a guilty pleasure of mine when I was a tween. Funny thing, the show lasted longer than the Pony Express did.

Yay!!! Go forth and nominate! But make sure you intend to participate, they want the noms to come from folks taking part.

Must get back to work. Really don't wanna. Feel like reading and writing instead.

Some of my favourite stories are from Yuletide - I was so excited when I first discovered it as a reader.

Jennifer Crusie fic would be fantastic. I just found a copy of Charlie All Night at the library and I'd forgotten how great it was, very different from all the other Mills and Boons I'd been reading as a teenager.

Oh, I know what you mean. Some of my all-time fave stories were written for Yuletide. I mean where else do you get awesome Aliens or Lord Peter Wimsey fic? :D

Oooh, new Jennifer Crusie title! I'll have to find that one, too.

I know! And I've just been looking at the Diana Wynne Jones fics in the archive because I nominated the Magid series and Dalemark and YOU wrote an awesome Fire and Hemlock fic!! which I'd never seen before.

It is actually a pretty old Crusie title, but it was fairly recently reissued.

Oh, thank you! That was a massive challenge. Partly because the book is so awesome and hard to get a good grip on and also partly because I was actually travelling when I had to finally submit it. I was in a hostel in Washington DC I think, on holiday with my husband. I'm staying home for Xmas this year!
