Yuletide fandom nominations open!

[the-alchemist.livejournal.com]

Hello! Just a heads up that fandom nominations for this year's Yuletide are open.

The more people there are who nominate history plays, the more likely they are to be included.

I think I'll be nominating Richard III (which already exists as a category), Henry V, "the Henry IV plays" and "the Henry VI plays". This is because the current "Henry plays" category bugs me a bit given how little the H4s have in common with the H6s. I'd be happy to write about any character in the H6s, but not in the H4s. I'll probably drop a note to the organisers to say that.

I expect it will all be in vain and we'll still get the Henry plays category, but I figured there was no harm in asking for them to be split. (And it's not as though there's actually a problem with there being Henry plays category - it's mostly just my OCD tendencies screaming at me that each set of Henrys is more closely associated with one Richard or the other than with the other Henrys. Plus a bit of "I only want to read and request history plays!")

I think I might also suggest Edward II...


EDIT: maybe I should just ask the organisers first what their attitude towards Henry-splitting is...

If you don't, I will... :D

We both should!

I was thinking of trying to split First Tetralogy and Second Tetralogy, but yours also makes sense -- I only worry if someone wants a fic that covers the entire tetralogy.

Also, add me to the list of people who will request Edward II. :)

OMG YES.

I didn't even think of it, and I WANT IT.
