So, Yuletide fandoms are up.

[estirose]

Surprisingly, most of the PR series got in. I’m not sure why. I figured that one or two of the smaller seasons would get through the filter, not our bigger AO3 ones, like DT or NS.

So, it looks like we have available this Yuletide:
MMPR, Zeo, Turbo, Space, Lost Galaxy, Lightspeed Rescue, Time Force, Wild Force, Ninja Storm, Dino Thunder, Mystic Force, Jungle Fury, and Operation Overdrive. Don’t ask me why this doesn’t include S.P.D or R.P.M. I suspect that Ninja Storm was helped by the fact that about 50% of the fics were me and TpTigger.

All the Kamen Rider ones got through. My other two nominations (Final Fantasy II and Mio min Mio/Mio my son) also both got through, which is not surprising, as FF II has two entries and Mio min Mio has zero. And hopefully the wrangler that got to figure out how to handle the dual character names in Mio is not too frustrated, because that had to be a lot of work for one tiny, tiny fandom….

ETA: I can tell someone grabbed a few extraneous characters for one fandom that I write a lot in:

[Kamen Rider Kiva => Kamen Rider Kiva => TV Shows]
Aso Megumi
Asou Yuri
Eritate Kengo
Hayley (Power Rangers)
Jirou
Kenzaki Kazuma
Kido Akira
King
Kivat II
Kivat III
Kuramae Noboru
Kurenai Otoya
Kurenai Wataru
Maya (Kamen Rider Kiva)
Nago Keisuke
Nobori Taiga
Nomura Shizuka
Ramon (Kamen Rider Kiva)
Riki (Kamen Rider Kiva)
Shima Mamoru
Suzuki Mio

(Yes, your eyes are not deceiving you. That’s Hayley, as in the PRDT Hayley, and Kenzaki, whose armored form has shared screentime with Kiva armored forms, but in Decade, not Kiva. And while I’m fond of Kuramae Norboru, I suspect he’s there because of the same story that got Hayley listed by mistake.)

HOLY CRAP, that's so cool!

I suspect that if the Yuletide people looked at how big some portions of PR fandom were, most of those would fall off the list. We're having quite a bit of "This fandom is way too big/active for yuletide" responses right now for various and sundry fandoms (because Sailor Moon and some of the bigger Final Fantasy fandoms got in there when they shouldn't have).

Sadly, I think that most of PR fandom is really kind of big for Yuletide. :(

Edited: Wanted to make clear that the complaints were listed for other fandoms, not (just) PR.

Yeah. I'm trying to figure out how AVPM isn't HP.

[defeatedbyabridge]

Ooh, I hope they stay on. Or at least some of them. <3

I'm the one who arranged for all the seasons to be nominated. I'm frankly amazed that DT and NS got in - I was expecting them to only let in LR, LG, JF, Turbo, WF, MF and OO. I'm really surprised that SPD and RPM didn't make the cut.

Still! Really excited for it. :D

Yeah, seriously; I got back in the fandom during NS, and I can tell you from experience that DT was huge. It's not quite as active now, but it's still a gigantic fandom. The funny part, though, is SPD was about equal size as DT at the time, and RPM now is about as big as both of them were, so... yeah, why DT and not the other two? Oh well.

[thesecondbatgirl]

Well, at least they're back in now? We lost MMPR, but at least everything else got in.

Glad to see FFII make it, though I too wasn't surprised. No mainline FF title from IV and beyond would ever make it (except maybe the MMO's, XI and XIV), but fic for the first three games are some of the rarest things I've ever seen.

Also, on a random note, I just want to point out how utterly amusing it is that you like Final Fantasy II enough to write fic for it... considering Johnny Yong Bosch voices Firion in all his modern game appearances.

*grins* I was surprised to hear that, but I went to youtube to check it out. He sounds good!
