I've already nominated my other main fandom: Mary Renault's novel, The Charioteer (approved, with all four characters). However, that only leaves me with one slot—and two possibles.
I'm going eeny-meeny at the moment, and it keeps coming out different.
One possibility is the third fandom I nominated last year, Prehistoric Park (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prehistoric_Park). (That link is to the Wikipedia article.) It's a six-part British "mockumentary" in which time-travelling paleontologists go into prehistory to bring back extinct animals for a wildlife park where they plan eventually to breed them. One episode they went back to the Ice Age and returned with, among other things, a mammoth. In other episodes, they visited the Cretaceous for assorted dinosaurs. Part of each episode involved the time journeys; part was set back at the park as they received the "newcomers", housed them, and dealt with problems—with a measure of continuity across the series. Alas, it never had a second season.
The other possibility is Time Team RPF (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_Team). Time Team is a long-running British documentary series in which a group of archæologists (a core group, and assorted associates) do three-day digs in places that usually haven't been excavated before—sometimes places that no one would expect would permit it, such as the grounds of Salisbury Cathedral or the Inns of Court. This is real archaeology: sometimes they find things that are genuinely important. (Sometimes the dig is a dud. You don't know until you watch the show.) Anyway, what I'd like to ask for is a behind-the-scenes making -of-an-episode type of story. Definitely gen.
Probably, whichever one I nominate, I won't get a story for it. These are fandoms of miniscule proportions. Prehistoric Park does have some (bad) fic on ff.net; but the only Time Team story I know of is a Stargate SG-1 crossover.
Yuletide is, though, the one time when you can nominate the eensy-teensiest of fandoms and keep your fingers crossed with genuine hope.
