not_primetimeNominations are just around the corner (in April, but it takes time to review canons) and if you'd like to promote your fandoms in order to entice fellow participants to offer/request, this is the place to do it.
Please keep discussions of each fandom in separate comments with the subject of it as that fandom. Please also put in the subject warning for common triggers (in the canon and especially anything that is in your comment).
Our guidelines for a medium sized fandom is a) a fandom that isn't listed on the recent Yuletide nomination list (or Signup Summary) and b) isn't a fandom with over 20,000 fics available (megafandom list on LJ and on DW). RPF is allowed within Not Prime Time and is the only exception to the requirement of "a fandom that isn’t listed on the current Yuletide nominations list" though we ask that participants keep to the spirit of the exchange and do not nominate/request very rare RPF. It is still held to the megafandoms requirement, however.

Date: 2012-03-20 05:33 pm (UTC)Both the books and the TV series were eligible in 2010, but were ruled ineligible in 2011. (Both versions are still considered small fandoms by Smallfandomfest on LJ. Figure that out.)
Of course, 90% of the stories are about Harry Dresden (and Harry/Karrin (or Connie) Murphy, Harry/Bob, Harry/Jared Kincaid, Harry/Thomas Raith or--my pairing of choice-- Harry/John Marcone), but there are so many other characters to write about! There are characters of color, awesome women, characters that are both--and plenty of wizards who are not Harry. This is a rich world, and it needs a LOT more exploration.
