Brainstorming 2015

[crantz]

Brainstorming time!

What stories are you planning to nominate? What stories are you hoping someone will nominate? What are you on the fence about? What are you not sure is eligible?

Remember, you get 3 nominations, with 0-4 characters each!

Great, then it has my stamp of approval.

I'm going to be linking tagging trees when it's actual nomination time, so you'll see how to format the tag for it.

Well, this is an unexpected development.

AO3 simply won't accept the story's name (either "The Story of Yuki-Onna - Lafcadio Hearn" or "The Story of Yuki-Onna (Fairy Tale)"). Every time that I try to enter, the nomination form ends prematurely.

I think I'd better pick a different story.

[crantz]

I'll see if I can nominate it.

It went through for me! I didn't have a third fandom, so I'll keep it. What characters would you like?

[gehayi]

Oh, thank you! Minokichi (he's the woodcutter that the Woman of the Snows takes a fancy to) and...I don't know if you want to list both Yuki-Onna (the supernatural being) and O-Yuki (the mortal woman she becomes so that she can marry Minokichi, which is very definitely her idea) or not. And for the fourth...Yuki-Onna's children, I think. The story says that she had ten, both boys and girls. I've always wondered what they were like and what adventures they had. Especially her daughters. If that's permitted, that is. I realize that I'd be veering into origfic territory.

[crantz]

I think a large amount of what will be produced for this exchange will be origfic, which is totally fine. I'm not gonna do the children because I'm not sure I can do a mass of characters as a tag, but I can def. do the first three. Make sure to ask about the children in your dear author!

[gehayi]

Thank you so very much! I really appreciate this!

[crantz]

No problem! Sorry it was giving you troubles.
