Yuletide nominations

[wendelah1]

Yuletide nominations are open. Is anyone here definitely planning to nominate The Americans? If you are, what characters are you nominating?

I was hoping we could coordinate our efforts.

This probably should have its own post but I was wondering if anyone else would be interested in a single fandom gift exchange, not this calendar year but the next. I was thinking about an exchange modeled along the lines of fringe_exchange, which would be open to writers, artists, podficcers and vidders.

I thought it would be fun to slot it between the first of the year and the beginning of the new season. Alternatively, it could help fill the long hiatus between the end of season three and the start of season four.

Hello, new(ish) fan joining. I'll definitely nominate The Americans, and I would welcome a coordination so we could get more characters available later for requesting. I plan to nominate Philip, Elizabeth, Claudia and Charles Duluth and would love it if someone else would nominate Paige and Henry, Stan, Arkady, Nina, and Gregory?

Hello new(ish) fan, selenak. Thank you for delurking.

If the Yuletide spread sheet is to be believed, other folks have nominated China Beach and Belle and most of the characters I wanted, so that opens up a slot for me to nominate characters for The Americans.

I already told Jae I would nominate Gregory.

I can nominate Paige and Henry and Stan for you, as well.

I would like to see someone nominate Martha Hansen and Sandra Beeman in addition to the other characters you mention. And Oleg! I want Oleg Igorevich Burov. I WANT ALL THE CHARACTERS and ALL THE STORIES.

[selenak]

That would be fabulous. All the characters and all the stories is of course the long term goal. :)

I talked to Jae and said I would nominate Gregory and Lucia.

[wendelah1]

So does that mean you have two open slots?

[sistermagpie]

Yes, I now I'm going to nominate those two but if we coordinate and other people are covering other people (like most obviously Philip and Elizabeth, for instance) I could cover other people.

[selenak]

Martha, Oleg and/or Sandra for wendelah1, then?

[wendelah1]

I can nominate Sandra Beeman since she's nominating Gregory. That still leaves Nina, Oleg, Arkady and Martha Hansen from our two combined lists.

How about if she nominates Nina for you and Oleg for me?

That still leaves Martha and Arkady to hand off to someone else--if anyone else is nominating.

Sorry, am rarely able to go online, hence the belated reply: that would work for me, and in fact, since I see Katiac has nominated Philip and Claudia already, I could edit my nomination and put Martha and Arkady in!

[wendelah1]

That sounds great!

[sistermagpie]

Okay, so just to be clear, I'm going to nominate:

Gregory, Lucia, Nina and Oleg?

[wendelah1]

Sorry to be late getting back to you. Yesterday was crazed.

That...sounds right to me.

I'm nominating Paige and Henry and Stan and Sandra Beeman.

EDIT: Katiac nominated Henry. So--I'll nominate someone else.


Excellent.

Welcome!

I'm not joining in on Yuletide, but let me know if I can help out in any way.

Thank you; you don't have to write a Yuletide story in order to nominate a fandom/characters, though! You just need an AO3 account.
