Why yes, of course I put in my nominations within minutes of reading the "nominations are open" post....
My choices this year include several recurring picks and one entirely new fandom:
Andrew Greeley - Blackie Ryan series
Linda Haldeman - The Lastborn of Elvinwood
Robyn Tallis - Planet Builders series
Seanan McGuire - Velveteen vs. series
Sherwood Smith - Coronets and Steel
Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? (tv)
A look back at my posts under the Yuletide tag will find information on most of these, save for the newest, that being Coronets and Steel -- which is a cheerfully modern riff on The Prisoner of Zenda in which Our Heroine proves to be a dead ringer for her previously unknown cousin, who's in line to become crown princess of an Obscure European Pocket Country. This means that Kim is herself descended from royalty, and in the course of trying to learn more about her newly revealed relatives, she finds herself up to her ears in Dobrenican intrigue...and attractive Dobrenican men. Think of one of Elizabeth Peters' Vicky Bliss novels with a liberal dash of ghosts, a dusting of magic, and an extra helping of banter, and you have a fair sense of the tone. A sequel is in preparation, but there's definitely room for extrapolation in the meantime.
As a practical matter, I have a pretty firm idea as to three of the four eventual requests from the above...and I'd likely have nominated the Disney Sorcerer's Apprentice film had someone else not gotten there first (though that may or may not end up as the fourth request).
Ahhh, Yuletide season....
