Yuletide plans
It's that time of the year already... :D
It feels a bit strange to be going into Yuletide while working on a longfic which—if I keep making steady progress on it—will probably continue to be in progress through the entire course of the exchange. I'll have to fit Yuletide writing in around it, and will probably end up writing less than the last couple of years as a result. On the other hand, maybe I'll get sick of the longfic after a couple of months and want a break! We'll see.
Anyway, onto the important business, which is that I'm planning to nominate Flight of the Heron. I think Worldbuilding will still be eligible under the new rules—the prophecy/presence of fate hopefully counts as enough of a fictional element—and I'll nominate it alongside Ewen and Keith. Undecided about the fourth character slot—Aunt Margaret? Lachlan?
...I should clarify that I'm planning to nominate Flight of the Heron, not any fandom name that includes GitN and TDM as well. I have a fairly strong preference for this; if anyone else has a strong preference in the other direction, talk to me and we'll work out a compromise, as I doubt it'll be allowed to have both separately.
As for my other nominations, I don't know! I might repeat my A Glass of Blessings nomination and request from last year. Then perhaps a ballad (which ballad???)—or perhaps another Broster book or another Jacobite-related canon. What is everyone else thinking of nominating? (any Broster books, ballads or other Jacobite-related canons? :D )

Yes, that's how it has been for me the last two years! I did end up posting two Yuletide stories both of those years, but they were all fairly short ones.
As for what to request, I haven't properly considered it yet! There's FotH, possibly Flemington, possibly The Wounded Name now that I have reread it, and possibly also Kidnapped. : ) Last year I spontaneously offered Jean and Darklis from Bonnie Dundee, when I saw them among the nominations, but then nobody actually requested the fandom. That might be interesting to nominate/request? But I’d have to reread the book to appreciate it fully…

Hee, you could do an all-Jacobites request with FotH, Flemington and Kidnapped—and Bonnie Dundee too, which is a great idea (and very much worth re-reading, surely!). And of course who knows what there'll be to happen across in this year's tagset and spontaneously decide to offer and/or request...
