So excited to be using this icon

Things said aloud while reading the list of nominated Yuletide fandoms:
* "Hey, I've been meaning to read/watch that." (Anathem and a bunch of others I've now forgotten. Drat.)

* "SOMEBODY NOMINATED THAT? "
- Lady Lovely Locks (I loved that show when I was very small)
- Primer (Seems even less fic-friendly than Inception, although we all know how right I was about that. I am still mystified by that one, y'all.)
- Creatures of Light and Darkness, by Roger Zelazny (Now there's a canon that'd require some serious chutzpah to write for)

I'll be offering some lit fandoms, because there are a few that are near and dear to my heart or would just be fun to write for (A Tangled Web by L.M. Montgomery would be a hoot), but generally I am much, much more comfortable with writing for screen canon. In the process of translating visual story to verbal story, I feel a lot more freedom to put my own spin on things. Also the question of copyright infringement feels less sticky, at least to me.

My assignments the last two years: English kids' fantasy book fandoms for which my recipient's first request was for future-slash between the principle child character and the principle adult character.

Any bets on what I'll get this year?

Creatures of Light and Darkness was not one of my favorites, but I would chew off my arm for some good Lord of Light fic (especially if it rectified the meh treatment of female characters in the original.)

Creatures of Light and Darkness was more of an interesting experiment than anything. I'm actually much less a fan of his novels than his short stories, but of the novels I've read, Lord of Light was definitely the best.
