“yes, you are only one / no, it is not enough / but if you lift your eyes, i am your brother”

The cicadas have awoken in chorus, and in a few days we get thunderstorms (thanks to the scattered remnants of a hurricane passing over us). Sounds like summer.

Which means I'm thinking about Yuletide. In particular, some fandoms I am seriously considering nominating this next year:

• The Tay Bridge Disaster - William McGonagall - Tay Rail Bridge, Train, Storm Fiend, Passenger, Sensible Man


• Vajracchedikā Prajñāpāramitā Sūtra | Diamond Sutra - Gautama Buddha, Subhūti, Śūnyatā (Anthropomorphism), Anatman (Anthropomorphism)


• Faith and Practice of the Religious Society of Friends - Peace Testimony (Anthropomorphism), Simplicity Testimony (Anthropomorphism), Equality Testimony (Anthropomorphism), Truth Testimony (Anthropomorphism)

Anyone in on any of these?

Anyone have rare and obscure fandoms they're considering, that they're willing to share?

ETA: On further reflection, I think remove the Tay Rail Bridge as a nominated character. Let the prompt be the story of those affected by the catastrophic collapse of the protagonist.
