Brainstorming for nominations

[ishie]

Nominations for fandoms will open May 24 and run until June 2!

You can use this post to promote your small fandoms (the more people who nominate/offer/request, the more likely you are to have fic to read or write!), and to organize nominations for fandoms with multiple continuities.

For a refresher, here's the deal on nominations:

• You can nominate up to eight fandoms
  
• We'll be using the top 100 or so fandoms for sign-ups
  
• Sign-ups require a minimum of four fandoms that can be crossed with each other in each individual request (up to five allowed per sign-up).

We'll post detailed instructions for doing nominations on AO3 when the nominations period begins.

I'd really like to nominate:

Pokemon- Pokemon crossovers are the best, there's so much you can do with them.

Final Fantasy VII- it's a big fandom with a large, engaging cast and lots of fun worldbuilding, and Dissidia and Kingdom Hearts mean crossovers already sort of a thing with it. Imagine the cast being flung into another world, or some other canon's cast trying to survive in Midgar.

Silent Hill- There's lots of Silent Hill AUs, but very few Silent Hill crossovers. It's a real shame, because the characters are such a big part of the series' charm.

Kingdom Hearts- I mean, come on. It's pretty much the crossover fandom, and yet there aren't all that many crossover fics for it. You can do so, so much with a KH crossover just by the nature of the thing.

Puella Magi Madoka Magica- Tragic magical girls with lots of gorgeous monster-fighting scenes and a lot of open-ended potential to fit in crossovers. Plus, you can get some great crack out of it- can you imagine the PMMM girls meeting, say, the Winchesters?

Kid Icarus: Uprising- the small fandom nomination of my heart. KI:U is the best, most irreverent game about angels ever. You could cross it over with pretty much anything very easily (there's canon interstellar/interdimensional travel) and it's just fun. If you support me on this, I will love you forever.

Baccano!: The other small fandom of my heart. This one also has tons of crossover potential- the whole immortality thing means the characters can be pretty much anywhere and anywhen you want them to be. Plus the canon is just so ridiculously awesome, and already has a few (but not nearly enough!) fantastic crossovers for it.

Homestuck- it's... it's Homestuck you can't not go for this one when you're talking about canons that cross over well.

(I'd also be willing to swap some of these out for Dangan Ronpa, 999: 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors, or Ace Attorney if someone else would be interested in any of those.)

I've been thinking of doing Madoka Magica as well. So that would be at least two votes.

Thirding PMMM, with the caveat that I only know the original anime, not the sequels, games or movies.

[masu_trout]

I don't either, so that would work fine for me. I hope it gets in!

[morbane]

Ooh, I'll happily second Kingdom Hearts.

[masu_trout]

Awesome! That's at least two votes, then.

It's almost ridiculous how well Homestuck crosses over so well and so easily with nearly every other series. O.o; (But I love it.)

But yeah I'm definitely backing up your Homestuck nom, and also Silent Hill and possibly Pokemon. I also sorta wanna go for Dangan Ronpa...

[masu_trout]

Sounds great! Yeah, Homestuck goes great with so many things, and I really think SH, Pokemon, and Dr could too.
