Nominate fandoms for Yuletide - 2 days left!

[rachelmanija]

It's my favorite time of year!



How and where to nominate.

Who's participating this year? Who's still contemplating? What have you nominated or plan to nominate?

This year I nominated Rocannon's World by Ursula K. Le Guin, Finisterre: The Nighthorses by C. J. Cherryh, and Mojo Magical Horse Figurines.

The latter may require some explanation. This is a new fandom which currently exists only in my mind. These delightful magical horses are currently prancing about my bookcases. I intend to ask for a story in which they come to life.

MOJO Dark Unicorn

I was unable to nominate this one as it's not Mojo, but Morbane said I could mention it as an optional detail. Behold the Safari Ltd. Pyrois!

My nominations: Stigmata (which I nominate reliably every year because it's a perennial fandom for me - just the right combination of "I love this premise and these characters" and "the execution sucks ass, so I'm gonna fix it" that makes fanfic writing so satisfying) Scary Stories to Tell In The Dark (because there's so much thematic potential with the setup the movie presented, and also it's fun and spooky) and Hair (the musical) because it is a fandom of my heart and I WILL build an AO3 presence for it if it takes me all year.

What is Stigmata?

[evewithanapple]

Stigmata is a deeply bad 1999 horror movie starring Patricia Arquette as an atheist who develops stigmatic wounds, and Gabriel Byrne as the Vatican miracle investigator who gets assigned to figure out if she's the real deal. It is incoherent, badly written, and edited like a music video. I dearly love the version that exists in my head, where the final conflict comes down to Patricia Arquette's supernatural powers and crisis of not-faith instead of Jonathan Pryce (he's here too!) fistfighting Gabriel Byrne while our female lead is possessed by a dead priest.

I saw that movie when I was on an Everything Jonathan Pryce Binge and your final conflict sounds a LOT better. Gabriel Byrne does make a great hot priest though.

[evewithanapple]

Gabriel Byrne makes an incredible hot priest! I mean, he was clearly cast because they thought he looked like Jason Miller in The Exorcist, but it all worked out for the best.

[rachelmanija]

I have a thing for hot priests and I also have a thing for Gabriel Byrne, so I may have to see this.

[evewithanapple]

Not that I would ever ENCOURAGE anyone to watch this movie (that's a lie; I frequently inflict it on my friends just to watch the rage dawn on their faces when the twist ending drops) but if Hot Priest Gabriel Byrne is your jam, then . . .

....it's kinda like that awful scifi movie with Christian Bale and Emily Watson. It sounds intriguing! but it's so bad.

Gabriel Byrne: dangerously hot in my book ever since I saw the terrible terrible Gothic film by Ken Russell (also, how great is Miller's Crossing? So great)

It's such a good movie in my head, seriously!
