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.

Star Trek: The Next Generation
Date: 2012-01-20 01:34 pm (UTC)But on the off chance that it is accepted as mid-sized, I think the world *always* needs more Beverly/Jean-Luc fic, and more of the women of Trek being awesome :)
Anyone want to share of the love of this sometimes painful, sometimes brilliant, but nearly always entertaining Trek incarnation with me?
Babylon 5
Date: 2012-01-20 01:41 pm (UTC)But hopefully I can entice some other people to come play in this 'verse with me? I'm particularly fond of John/Delenn, John/Delenn/Jeff crack, and Susan/Marcus (often with a side of Susan/Talia just to make things interesting)...
Highlander (TV series)
Date: 2012-01-20 01:51 pm (UTC)Okay, I'm probably alone in that... ;)
But I'm sure there are more folks out there who can't resist the lure of Queen, cheesy special effects and some surprisingly brilliant moments?
Inception
Date: 2012-01-20 01:57 pm (UTC)preferably with enough people that we can get some fic that is other than Arthur/Eames? (whom I love, but that's probably 90% of the existing fic...) Any interest for Arthur/Ariadne or Cobb/Ariadne? (which is probably what I'd offer if I were to offer it...)
Final Fantasy XII
Date: 2012-01-20 02:08 pm (UTC)Anyone want to go Yizmat hunting with me? :)
Re: Babylon 5
Date: 2012-01-20 04:42 pm (UTC)And such a good fandom - so I'm hoping that people will write and request it :D
Re: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Date: 2012-01-20 04:42 pm (UTC)A Song of Ice and Fire - George RR Martin
Date: 2012-01-20 05:04 pm (UTC)This is such a huge and complicated universe, I feel like a kid in a sweetshop trying to decide what I'd like to request or offer to write - there are so many possibilities. I'm a huge Baratheon fan myself, with a soft spot for Sansa/Sandor and Jaime/Brienne, and there's about a billion minor characters I'd love to see brought to life. Anyone else interested?
Re: A Song of Ice and Fire - George RR Martin
Date: 2012-01-20 05:10 pm (UTC)Re: Star Trek: The Next Generation
Date: 2012-01-20 05:32 pm (UTC)Star Trek: Enterprise
Date: 2012-01-20 05:38 pm (UTC)Enterprise is kind of the unloved step-child of the Trek franchise, but I have a lot of love for this little show, and I'm hoping some other people might too, so I wouldn't be requesting/offering in vain.
Re: Star Trek: Enterprise
Date: 2012-01-20 05:46 pm (UTC)Re: Star Trek: Enterprise
Date: 2012-01-20 05:54 pm (UTC)Labyrinth
Date: 2012-01-20 09:05 pm (UTC)I'd especially love to see fic that's not Sarah/Jareth; although I enjoy many of those, the fandom is full of terrific worldbuilding fic opportunities. (And also, there's a great lack of Ludo/Hoggle H/C fic. But that may be because the faniverse really doesn't *need* Ludo/Hoggle fic, and I'm just twisted for imagining it.)
Re: Babylon 5
Date: 2012-01-20 09:21 pm (UTC)Black Butler/Kuroshitsuji (Warning: Has underage characters)
Date: 2012-01-20 11:37 pm (UTC)Black Butler is such a little-black-dress fandom for me; I ship everything! Lots and lots of master/butler HoYay with revenge-crazed Ciel and the demon he sold his
bodysoul to, Sebastian! Also, awesome transgender reaper Grell, who compulsively hits on Sebastian! Also, also, moar master/butler HoYay with Soma/Agni! Also, also, also (for the anime side of the verse) MOAR master/butler HoYay with Alois & Claude, who also have HoYay with pretty much everyone else in the cast. Also, also, also, ALSO (for the manga side of the verse) Snake, who is the adorablest footman ever, an ex-circus performer, and talks to snakes all the time. Other awesome servants as well! Other awesome reapers, too!I can only nominate 4 characters, alas, and I pretty much love everyone in this series, so I am really hoping other people will nominate some of the other characters, too. So, yes. Who's with me? :P
Hikaru no Go (Warning: Has underage characters)
Date: 2012-01-20 11:44 pm (UTC)I'm mostly in this one for the epic GoYay between Hikaru and Akira. Although I do have a super soft spot for Sai, too. And I like friendship stuff with the whole insei group. Also, watching Kuwabara (i.e. the Awesomest Honinbou EVER) fuck with Ogata's head.
This is another one with waaaaaay too many characters that I love.
Sherlock Holmes - Arthur Conan Doyle
Date: 2012-01-20 11:57 pm (UTC)I need more original!canon Holmes/Watson; it is not even funny. I like other incarnations of them, too, but the original canon was what I fell in love with first, and it's definitely got its own distinct atmosphere that I love.
Kyo Kara Maoh!
Date: 2012-01-21 12:04 am (UTC)I am a horrendous Yuri/Wolfram shipper, after having been tormented by way too much UST for far too long. I also ♥♥♥ Gwendal, who will kill you dead and then knit cute little bunny ears for your tombstone! (Except they were actually kitty ears, but no one could tell. :P) I love Gunter, too, with all his flailing interspersed with random bad-ass moments. And, y'know, any fantasy AU where it is totally normal for the king to have another man for his fiance is immediately awesome in my eyes. :)
Fairy Tail
Date: 2012-01-21 12:23 am (UTC)I fell in love with the anime from the very first episode and once Ezra Scarlet was introduced a couple of episodes later, my love was cemented. There's a lot of silliness which makes me laugh (like Gray unconsciously stripping down - and there's a logical reason why he does it that gets revealed later on) and the power of friendship and family that permeates between the members of Fairy Tail. There's so many stories that beg to be written and I'd love to see those fics come to life.
Re: Babylon 5
Date: 2012-01-21 01:31 am (UTC)Suits
Date: 2012-01-21 01:32 am (UTC)I'm mostly in the fandom for gen and 'ship fic (het, femslash, and mixed-gender threesomes) featuring Jessica and/or Donna. Anyone else interested in Suits, whether they're fans of these fierce ladies (which would be awesome!) or fans of the more generally popular Harvey/Mike (also awesome, though not my cup of tea) or fans of some entirely different Suits pairing (also also awesome, and please feel free to share what pairing(s) you love best)?
