Won't be long 'til Yuletide comes
Now that the coalies are here again

Unless I decide to add a fandom, I'm done with my letter. I might have to check my fandoms' eligibility, but they were all small to non-existent when I last checked, so I doubt they suddenly got big in the past year or so.

Ta, coalie, that sounds very RTMI!

House of Five Leaves! It's a historical series about a shy ronin who gets hired by a group of bandits, and it's lovely. 12 episodes.

I usually nominate three things I am definitely requesting, and wait for the tagset for anything else. But I am actually stalled at only two things to nom this year? We'll see if I come up with another one in time.

Seconding this!! The manga is even better an available in English.

Any recent horror canons worth checking out? Especially podcasts, audiobooks, movies?

I don't usually do horror, but I know some podcast fans are planning to nom Malevolent. It's a lovecraftian horror about a detective who loses his sight when he mysteriously gets possessed by a demon who controls his eyes. They have to work together to investigate how and why the demon was summoned to this plane, and they encounter all sorts of other creepy mysteries along the way.

and it smells like heaven, I say

The BBC just completed a mockumentary podcast series following two podcasters investigating various Lovecraft plots, one per season. I'm just now in the middle of the second season (out of three), and it's good quality and well-produced, really well-paced, with what seems like an over-arching plot that may or may not tie everything together in the end.

I feel like mostly I've been taking in older horror this year, though. I have a variety of movie recs from the late 70s through the mid-80s...

I just saw the 2018 Halloween movie, which rocked, and now I really want fic about the three generations of Strode women. So maybe that!

I'd never ever heard of that novel before a nonny mentioned on FFA. I liked it! Pretty gay.

91 Days, a 12 episode mafia anime set in the US during the Prohobition era that follows the revenge quest of Angelo Lagusa, whose parents were murdered by a mafia family when he was a child.

Joker Game, a 12 episode anime set mostly pre-WWII about a fictional Japanese spy agency that focuses mostly on cool spies doing spy stuff.

Both anime have a lot of slashy potential!

CYRT

A couple of obscure songs! <3

I nominated it for trick or treat! Sadly no takers on requests, though, it doesn't look like.

i don't see nominations coordination as inherently a positive activity, so it going down would be neutral rather than a downside

The North Water!

it feels awkward to request something you already got
I will request something again, even (especially) if I loved the fic that prompt brought me last time, but mentioning that it has been filled before.

Things I want gifts for. I can write in dozens of fandoms, so it's never hard for me to get matched. Also, it makes me sad when an exciting tiny fandom gets nommed and no one actually requests it.

Oohh, someone nommed it for

femslashex!

Are you going to promote any of your canons there? Do you see anything you're thinking about checking out?

I'm eyeing The Darkside Detective with interest! Point and click games are exactly my speed, and I love horror-adjacent stuff and pixel art.

I spy at least two people already who didn't read "If your fandom appears too big before you use those filters, and is easily under 1,000 combined works after you apply the filters, then you don't need to tell us about it."

are you being self-righteous about people not reading when this is in fact the PROMO post and not the ELIGIBILITY post?

They are probably going "better safe than sorry", coalie. It's no big deal.

At this point, I'm only picking up canons like movies or 5-minute fandoms and none have caught my eye.

That's even if they have decent write-ups. Too many don't tell me what the thing is, it's all "awesome ladiez!!" or "What makes it great? It's my fav and I cried." Cool. That gives me exactly zero useful information.
