Re: Yuletide

[mildred_of_midgard]

I'm undecided if I'm signing up this year, but I'll definitely participate in nominations. I'll trade you your 16th century Habsburgs for my 3rd century Roman emperors, Diocletian and Maximian.

Plots I will have to think more about, except:

- Alternate first encounter between Fritz and Fredersdorf at Frankfurt for Christmas

- Voltaire to the rescue AU

- Rokoko babysitting fic

I totally want these!

and

Or, if someone nominates FW, I'd ask for the FW/G2 Duel that happens AU. Or the Murder at the Wusterhausen Express AU. :)

Or FW kidnapping Fredersdorf into the Potsdam Giants and Fritz & Fredersdorf having to plot to get him back! :D

Which reminds me, Kloosterhuis did write that expensive tome on the Tall Guys, which is available at the Stabi. My impression is that most of it is excruciating archival detail, but some of it may be of interest to fanfic writers.

Right! Had forgotten about this one, won't have a chance to read it until October, though, due to Darth Real Life. However, I'll definitely nominate your 3rd Century Roman Emperors in exchange for my 16th century Habsburgs! As for Frederician nominations, which characters would you nominate then?

Re: Yuletide

[mildred_of_midgard]

Definitely Katte and Fredersdorf. If I sign up, I'll probably request just those two, with a note in my sign-up letter that it's either/or. I'm happy to receive Rococo babysitting as my assignment as long as Fredersdorf gets more than a cameo, first meeting in Frankfurt <3, Wusterhausen Express, FW steals Fredersdorf, FW steals Fredersdorf and therefore Wusterhausen Express...the possibilities are endless. :D

(Broccoli test fic... :P)

As for my other two nominations, I'm happy to supply whatever the group needs that isn't already nominated by someone else. Voltaire? Catherine? Heinrich? FW? Let me know what you guys decide!

Re: Yuletide

[selenak]

Here's what we have so far:

Me: Fritz, Voltaire, Fredersdorf, Pompadour.

cahn: Émilie, Heinrich, FW, SD.

You: Katte, and since you have three slots three, how about Catherine for cahn, just in case you get inspired, Lehndorff for me (to possibly request), and uncle G2 in case anyone feels up to the AU duel?

Re: Yuletide

[mildred_of_midgard]

Great, I'll nominate Lehndorff for you, and Catherine for cahn. Do we need G2? He's only useful as a separate nomination from FW if someone wants to request him and not FW, or someone wants to mandate G2 with FW. For the duel plot, FW suffices, because the author can always add G2 to a story that matched on FW.

I'm thinking Suhm, in case someone wants to write me a tale of two sugar daddies, or one sugar daddy, or pretty much anything at all with my favorite envoy. ;)

So that would be

You: Fritz, Voltaire, Fredersdorf, Pompadour.

cahn: Émilie, Heinrich, FW, SD.

Me: Katte, Lehndorff, Catherine, Suhm.

How does that sound?

Re: Yuletide

[selenak]

Perfect! Suhm it shall be.

Re: Yuletide

[cahn]

This sounds fine to me as well!

Mildred, on a tangential note, I'm also going to nominate Tillerman with Brother Thomas and probably either Jeff or Horace Greene or both. (I got this great story! Now I want another one!) If you have anyone you really want me to nominate, I should have at least one slot free.

Re: Yuletide

[mildred_of_midgard]

I'm not planning on requesting or offering this fandom, but if you've got a free slot, feel free to nominate my fave Bullet.

I've started shipping Thomas and Horace as well, thanks to the two recent fics! (Also, the Tillerman cycle will always be how you and I met, and thus salon is forever indebted. ;))
