Yuletide nomination coordation?

[lannamichaels]

Looks like we are good to go for nominating Guardian for the Yuletide exchange (a yearly multi-fandom exchange for small fandoms). Since each person gets 3 fandoms/4 character slots, I thought it might be good to coordinate who is nominating who so we can get all desired characters nominated.

Noms are open now until 11 October 9am UTC.

I'm planning on requesting Ye Zun, so I was gonna nominate him. This gives me 3 slots I can fill in my nom for other folks.

[lannamichaels]

I'm covering Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan, so I've got one more character space free.

[teaotter]

Thank you!

[schneefink]

Da Qing, please?

[lannamichaels]

Added!

[schneefink]

Thank you :D

I've nominated Guardian RPF with Zhu Yilong and Bai Yu, for anyone who wants to save a spot on their nomination slots.

[daroh]

I'm not seeing Guardian RPF on the spreadsheet.

[qikiqtarjuaq]

That's because I'm a lazy person who didn't comment over on the Yuletide post! XD

[daroh]

Lol ah, okay! Glad it's nommed!!

[trobadora]

Awesome! I'm definitely requesting Guardian again, but I have no nominatino slots left. I'm sure someone will take care of Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan, though. *g*

Btw, the mods have said to disambiguate the drama and the novel characters, to keep them separate.

[qikiqtarjuaq]

I'm vaguely terrified that everyone will think this and we'll end up missing Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan. XD

[trobadora]

OMG, don't worry me like that!

... Now I may have to bribe a friend into nominating them, just to satisfy my paranoia. *g*

[qikiqtarjuaq]

Yuletide hiding their nominations is really highlighting just how many trust issues I have. XD

[trobadora]

Yeah, and only approving nominations when the nomination period is over. *frets*

[lannamichaels]

Yeah but at least this way, we can keep editing until noms are over. I'll cover Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan.

[trobadora]

Yay, thank you!

[glymr]

Someone said on Discord that they nominated drama!Zhao Yunlan and drama!Shen Wei. I'll try to do the same once I figure out what other non-Guardian things I want to nominate. Any other characters people particularly want to see from the drama? I was thinking maybe Li Qian. <3

...it suddenly occurs to me that someone could go for a royal flush of Guardian: nominate the Drama, the Novel and RPF all separately for an all-Guardian slate. XD; (I'm not saying I'm going to, just noting that one could, theoretically, do so.)

(Am I seriously thinking about RPF? I've never read/written RPF in my entire LIFE, and yet.

And yet.

GUARDIAN, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO ME?!?!)

[trobadora]

Yay! I'm only going to request Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan, so it wouldn't be fair to ask for other nominations. But thank you for the offer! It'll be interesting to see if this year we'll get more varied requests ...

...it suddenly occurs to me that someone could go for a royal flush of Guardian

Ha, true! Maybe someone will. (Not that we'd know, unless they say so!) I'm not often interested in RPF either, but Guardian RPF is great.

[qikiqtarjuaq]

If you were going to be interested in RPF though, I have a Primer + Social Media Shenanigans post to draw people in!

[glymr]

Oh god, Guardian fandom, what have you done to me?

(To be clear - I am not against RPF, it's just never been something I've personally been into because I find it violently embarrassing. But something about these two actors...they just have so much chemistry off screen as well as on, and somehow I just find it a lot less embarrassing - maybe because they lean into it so hard themselves? I don't know.)

*goes to watch clips of ZYL and BY being cute together*

[qikiqtarjuaq]

Ehehehehe, welcome to the rabbit hole! Enjoy the clips! :D

[qikiqtarjuaq]

I just got a friend to nominate the Guardian novel with Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan!

[asya_ana]

phew! I just had a moment of panic about this. lol

[wintersoldier77]

I've put down Guardian drama Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan as well as Chu Shuzhi and Guo Changcheng... Hope that's ok?

[shambleau]

Thank you for Chu Shuzhi and Guo Changcheng---I was going to nominate them. Does anybody need me to nominate anything?

[geckoholic]

Is anyone nominating Detective L? Otherwise, I shall nominate the OT3.

[trobadora]

I don't have any nomination slots left myself, but I'm definitely planning to request Detective L. I was going to ask a friend to nominate Luo Fei and Huo Wensi for me, but if you have room, could you add Huo Wensi for me?

[geckoholic]

Yes, of course!

ETA: And done, nominated these four.

[trobadora]

Thank you so much! ♥

[starriewolf]

I'm not doing Yuletide this year so all my slots are open if anybody wants to add characters!

Edit: I'm always on the pinch hitter list though, so I might take it if Guardian pops up.

[ranalore]

I'm not doing Yuletide, but I can nominate. I was thinking maybe Li Qian, Zhu Hong, Sha Ya, and Ya Qing, for the awesome ladies ticket?

Any other Guardian-adjacent Yuletide-eligible fandoms anybody thinking of requesting?

[daroh]

Did you nominate these 4, by any chance? :)

[ranalore]

I didn't, since I didn't hear back. I can, unless they've already been nominated and there's someone else to sub in? Dr. Cheng, perhaps? Zhang Ruonan and Wang Yike?

[daroh]

No, they haven't been as far as I can tell, so please, yes, nominate Zhu Hong, Li Qian, SHa Ya, and Ya Qing or Dr. Cheng. I like Dr. Cheng a lot and would vote for her!

[daroh]

Wait, I just nommed Zhu Hong, so you can fit the other four! Yay!! (If you're still able/willing!)

[yue_ix]

YES YES YES PLEASE GET ALL THE LADIES TOO! \o/

[yue_ix]

Ok just to be safe I've nominated Shā Yà, Chéng Xīnyán and Yā Qīng

[daroh]

Yaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy!!

[ranalore]

Okay, I just nominated Li Qian, Sha Ya, Zhu Hong, and Cheng Xinyan.

[ranalore]

Just saw the conversation with yue_ix, so I've gone back and changed my nomination to Li Qian, Ying Chun, Wang Zheng, and Jiajia.

[daroh]

It looks like a lot of people may have submitted noms that aren't on the spreadsheet? I'm about to do my noms and I want to make sure we're getting the most character options. (I know the spreadsheet is unofficial, but it is helpful)
