Yuletide nominations

[trobadora]

Is anyone nominating Guardian or Guardian-adjacent things for Yuletide? The drama is over the limit now, but the novel and RPF are still eligible, not to mention Zhu Yilong's and Bai Yu's other roles, and I thought we might want to coordinate.

Yuletide nominations are under way here.

I've nominated two related canons myself:

• 绅探 | Detective L (TV) (characters: Luo Fei, Huo Wensi)


• L'Oréal "Time Engraver" Commercials (character: The Time Engraver)

And I have a Time Engraver promo post here, in case anyone hasn't seen it yet and has five minutes to spare. I promise it's worth it! *g*

I'd 100% be willing to coordinate, although I've only ever participated in Yuletide after noms have gone through. Is it that only 1 person needs to nominate a fandom/character and it's in? So we should coordinate to have people spread out their noms?

[trobadora]

Yes, every fandom and character needs to be nominated by someone to get in, but for Yuletide, each person is only allowed three fandom nominations (with four characters max for each). Since you can request up to 6 fandoms, people often coordinate to make sure their fandoms/characters get in.

[plingo_kat]

I'd be down for both the novel and RPF 8)

Zhen Hun novel characters I'd be interested in: ZYL, CSZ, SW, Gui Mian, Shen San, Kunlun.... why are there only 4 char slots.

RPF: Z1L and BY

[trobadora]

I hope some more people will turn up and talk about who they'd like to request/offer!

[plingo_kat]

Yep! I just did my noms.

镇魂 | Guardian - priest
* Shěn Wēi
* Chǔ Shùzhī
* Shěn Sān
* Guǐ Miàn

镇魂 | Guardian (TV 2018) RPF
* Zhu Yilong
* Bai Yu (Actor)

If anybody else wants to nom the novel, I'd love to have Kunlun, ZYL, Da Qing, and/or Zhu Hong on the list too...

[trobadora]

Yay!

Done ;)

[plingo_kat]

Thanks! :D

[laireshi]

Just so you know, my nominations got accepted :)

[plingo_kat]

Thanks! :D

[grayswandir]

I'm pretty much brand new to this fandom and am just reading the novel now, but I was hoping someone would nominate it for Yuletide. :D It might be good to add your nominations to the main YT coordination post so other people will know about them! Or I could add them for you, if you want. :) That way other people will know they don't need to use one of their nomination slots for it, or can just add whatever other characters they want included.

[plingo_kat]

Oh thanks, doing it now.

[trobadora]

Oh, thank you for the reminder!

[plingo_kat]

Also, welcome to the fandom! I hope you have fun :D

[grayswandir]

Thank you! :D Wish I'd been here with the show was still Yuletide eligible!

[laireshi]

The drama is over the limit now
I am extremely sad that I only discovered the drama in February this year ;;;

[trobadora]

Yes, that's a shame! I was really happy to get to do two Yuletides with Guardian.

Are you doing Yuletide?

[laireshi]

I'm not sure yet. I definitely would if Guardian were an option ;) (though...I keep wanting to write Shen San. Hmm.)

[trobadora]

Oh! That's a great idea! Someone should definitely nominate Shen San as a character.

[plingo_kat]

I just checked and Shen San isn't actually a canonical??? why????

[trobadora]

Huh, that's weird! I wonder why they haven't canonised him. At least it shouldn't matter for Yuletide!

[laireshi]

Well, that's just unacceptable.

[plingo_kat]

Oh, for Detective L, I don't suppose you could add Benjamin & Qin Xiaoman?

[trobadora]

Of course! Added. :)

[plingo_kat]

<33

[geckoholic]

I was definitey planning on nomming Detective L, but I see that's already taken care of. :D Is anyone nomming the Lost Tomb Reboot? Otherwise I'll do that. Also, Fairyland Lovers, anyone?

[plingo_kat]

Ohh Fairyland Lovers! I'm not very far into it but I love Bai Qi and A Li.

[geckoholic]

I‘m still considering as to whether or not I’ll give the show a slot, buuuuut if I do I’ll make we sure to include them. :D

[plingo_kat]

Thank you! :D

[geckoholic]

So I did not end up nomming the fandom, but someone else I know said they did, so we should be in the clear. ;)

[plingo_kat]

excellent! :D

[trobadora]

Yay Detective L! Yes, it's covered.

Lost Tomb Reboot would be great!

[geckoholic]

Alright so I’ll cover that, then. I’ve planned on nomming the iron triangle, anyone got a request for the fourth character?

[nnozomi]

If you have no other pressing requests: Liu Sang please!

[geckoholic]

Done!

[nnozomi]

Thank you :)

The first Guardian fic I ever wrote was a Yuletide pinch hit. It's sad that we can't nominate it again this year, but having more fic is a good reason to be disqualified. :) I had considered nominating Detective L myself, I'm about halfway through that one and loving it so far.

[trobadora]

Yes, it would have been great to have Guardian in Yuletide again, but having more fic is even better. *g*

Glad you're enjoying Detective L - I love it a lot; it's honestly my second favourite cdrama after Guardian. And I particularly adore Luo Fei. :D

I nominated the following Zhu Yilong short films/commercials:

第十个夏夜 | The Summer Night (2019)
Which consists of these two short fashion films. One and two.
Characters: Protagonist (The Summer Night)

新倩女幽魂 | A Chinese Ghost Story (Video Game Commercial)
The commercial is very pretty.
Characters: Gongzi Jing； Player (A Chinese Ghost Story Video Game Commercial)

Thermos "Flower Series" Commercials
These three commercials， linked together by the last one: Prince, Cottage, and Tomb.
Characters: Prince (Thermos "Flower Series" Commercials)； Wanderer (Thermos "Flower Series" Commercials)； Tomb Robber (Thermos "Flower Series" Commercials)
(I'm considering changing the last character's name to Explorer but I fear that might be too close to the second character, who I also think of as an explorer. Anyone, thoughts?)
now that i'm typing this, i've realized i should've dubbed the "prince" commercial "garden" to keep with the "name after place" convention but oh well, the individual names don't matter

I'll also make a promo post for these on my journal. Perhaps tomorrow or when the mods reply to my comment on the evidence post.

[trobadora]

Yay! This is an excellent selection, and I hadn't seen the video game commercial before. Thank you for linking it here!

ETA: About your character naming question, I think you should keep the "tomb" in there - "tomb explorer" would work? But yeah, just "explorer" isn't really clear on which character it is.

[cyberbrain]

Thank you! <3 And I'm happy to introduce you to it, then! ^^

ETA: I've edited the character name to "Tomb Explorer (Thermos "Flower Series" Commercials)"

[trobadora]

Yay! :D
