Yuletide 2013 - Mary Renault coordination post

[greerwatson]

This post is for coordinating Renaultverse nominations for Yuletide. The hope is to cover all the books that people are interested in requesting/offering without wasting slots by accidentally duplicating any of the characters.

(If anyone is curious, I'm putting it on my journal rather than maryrenaultfics since it's a closed comm. I'd like it to be possible for people who are not members to be able to read and post.)

Comments

I'll definitely nominate:

The Last of the Wine: Alexias, Lysis, Arete, Phaedo

The Mask of Apollo: Nikeratos, Thettalos, Dion, Plato

I may nominate one other Renault but I need to think a bit more about that.

[moetushie]

For The Charioteer, I'd like to nominate Bunny, Madge, Reg, and Nurse Adrian.

[toujours_nigel]

Theseus Duology: Aithra, Ariadne, Hipolyta, Phaedra

since every character I feel competent to write for TC has already been taken up for nomination I think I'll nominate the Alexander trilogy twice:
Alexander Trilogy: Sisygambis, Roxane, Stateira, Darius
Alexander Trilogy: Philip, Ptolemy, Olympias, Eurydike
This leaves me one free nomination, but I'm, not particularly using it for anything, so if the Big Three for the Alexandriad don't get nominated by anyone else, I can also do
Alexander Trilogy: Alexander, Hephaistion, Bagoas, Pausanias

[queen_ypolita]

I'm looking at The Praise Singer at the moment and trying to figure out what I, exactly, want to do with it—but left to my own device I'll probably only nominate Simonides. So there are potentially three slots open, does anyone else have any preferences about who else I should aim to nominate?

Yay coordination! I am planning to request Laurie and Andrew for The Charioteer, so it's good to know they'll be nominated. : )

Nominations Submitted

[fawatson]

I have now submitted my nominations:

Mask of Apollo and The Last of the Wine as indicated above

and the following characters for the Alexander Trilogy:

Sisygambis
Roxane
Ptolemy
Olympias

I know this comment is going in as 'anonymous' but I tried to do the 'open ID' thing and the site wouldn't let me as it says I am already signed in (though it doesn't show that way). Stupid site!
