Noms for Yuletide start later this month, and this year I'm kind of going back and forth.

What I'm definitely nominating:
Cozy Grove (Video Game)
Characters: Charlotte, Ursula, Jeremy

I'm currently the only one posting fic for Cozy Grove right now on AO3, and I'd like to change that. I asked

tptigger for suggestions beyond my choice of Ursula, and got Charlotte and Jeremy. I'll leave the fourth slot free in case we get a third Cozy Grove fan, but if it's still open I'm thinking either Patrice, Francesca, or the Spirit Scout (the Player Character of this game).

ETA: I think Expression Amrilato will be my 2nd nom, for worldbuilding instead of Ruka and Rin. I adore them, but I like Ruka's world more.

Possibilities for the other slots, if I don't just leave my slots open for other people this year:

* The Expression Amrilato (Visual Novel). This one is a bit tricky because its sequel just came out in English, and it no doubt gives more backstory for the Expression Amrilato characters. Plus, I realize that most people are not going to get into a random yuri isekai visual novel with a ton of Esperanto lessons in it. If I do, I'd nominate Ruka and Rin.

* Fantasy Life (Video Game). I really haven't had much luck getting people to offer this, no matter how much I love it. Apparently it's too obscure even for Yuletide? But I'd definitely request worldbuilding for it rather than characters.

* Final Fantasy II (Video Game). Yep, I still love the "black sheep" of the Final Fantasy series. Not enough to buy the Pixel Remaster (yet) because no Soul of Rebirth, but it's still a really good, dark story considering when it was made. I adore Firion, Maria, and Minwu and would probably be nominating them.

* A Little Sweet (performance). I nominated this successfully last year. I think what I requested was way too specific, if I nominate again this year I might just say "use your imagination!".

* Starman (TV). For various reasons, I've gotten nostalgic for this and wouldn't mind seeing some fic for the oldest of my fandoms. If so, Scott would be my nomination, possibly Jenny as well.

* Fatal Frame III. Yes, Fatal Frame V is coming out on non-Nintendo platforms this year, but if I requested that I'd be requesting fix-it fics for a certain character's backstory (not that I would know how to suggest how to fix said character's backstory unless you work around a certain thing) and I'd rather focus on earlier Fatal Frame games. (For some reason/mod decision we had to split up the fandom instead of using the umbrella several years ago. Maybe this year it will change, but if not Fatal Frame III is the closest we get to a fandom umbrella, only excluding the characters from IV and 1-3 from V.) Nominees would likely be Miku, Rei, Kei, and Yuu.

Using Fatal Frame III, I can connect the nominated characters to other characters in the Fatal Frame series:
Miku to Mafuyu (brother, Fatal Frame I with flashbacks/other appearances in III and V), Yae (great-grandmother, I and II), Sae (great-great-aunt (II)), Ryokan (great-great-grandfather (II and I think maybe III?)), Ryozo (great-grandfather, I and II) and Miu (V).
Rei to Hisoka (unknown relation, V)
Kei to Mayu and Mio (nieces, II with Mio appearing in III)
Yuu to Kunihiko Aso(u) (ancestor, mentioned in I-IV and appears in V), variously remotely related to Misaki (IV), Mio (II), Mayu (II), and Ren (V)
