In Australia, it's already tomorrow.

Man, it's been a while. I have about a dozen different things to post about. But because I have to get up early:

1. Fishers Ghost Festival in Campbelltown tomorrow! Woo! I grew up with the legend and never realised the reality lay so close to home, let alone that it had been adopted as a community celebration.

2. Yuletide nominations close in a little over twelve hours. Over 2500 rare fandoms have been nominated so far, and it is astonishing and delightful to see some of the names that have come up. Archy and Mehitabel! Prince of Persia! xkcd! And the fact that RPF has about a billion categories, from Film Critics to Heian Era to McCarthyism to Table Tennis.

3. NaNoWriMo is celebrating its tenth anniversary this year. Even though I've flamed out every time but the one, I am tempted.

Is that just a list of everything anyone ever wanted a fandom of? I fear that MaCarthyism fanfic is real

They're nominations of rare (or non-existent) fandoms that people want to see stories for. Which means there may not be any McCarthyism fanfic at the moment, but someone is definitely interested in reading it.

(Although fanfic does not necessarily mean slash fanfic - someone might just want some exciting political drama set in that era...?)
