donutsweeperThe Yuletide fandom promo post is up. I promoed a cute little animated short I found recently and am planning on nominating and requesting, Vampire Gastelbrau. Here's the promo I did:
Title: Vampire Gastelbrau (2011)
Media: Animated short film
Approx length: 3 minutes
Where to find it: On youtube here or vimeo here
What is it, in summary?: An animated short where Vampire Gastelbrau helps Gerta and Gabi with their chores in order to earn back his vampire fang.
What do you love about it?: It's just such a sweet little story with cute animation and lovely music.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: The further adventures of Gerta, Gabi and Gastelbrau.
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: No, but it's less than 3 minutes long.
Content warnings: none, despite it being about a vampire no warnings apply
The Yuletide evidence post has also been posted. If your eligible fandom (this post explains eligibility) is closely related to an ineligible one (i.e. all DMBJ fandoms since the novels are too big, NIF2 or the NIF novel since the drama has gotten too big, etc) you'll want to make a comment in the evidence post (if you've given evidence in previous years you can just link to your previous comment but ideally you should still comment on the current post). I've been doing yuletide a billion (aka 17) years, if you have questions/want help determining eligibility or how to post evidence just give me a shout, I'll be happy to help.
I also finally finished the chevron lace blanket I'd be working on for daughter:
It's 42” by 75-78” (valley vs point) and I misjudged the yarn yardage so she overbought and I have 2 skeins left with no idea what I'll do with them. Ooops. Oh well.
Aaaand now I need a new craft project. Maybe a rug. Or another blanket? Or both? (Do I need another rug or blanket? Nope. Do I have a place to put either? Also nope. Will that stop me from making them? Of course not.)
