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 )

I don't know if you saw this when looking up, but there are two versions of the story: one is told by someone who heard about that story (a classic move, isn't it), which is already good. But I prefer (not very surprisingly) the one where it's written as a diary by the narrator-- with a kind-of open ending. :3
