good fic in the offing!!

[desecrets]

I was only made aware of raremaleslashex like last night, but I'm really excited about it! 

I was too late to sign up, but that's fine, since I'm in a bit of a writing fallow season at the moment anyway. But I just went through the tagset, which is looking fantastic.

So many fandoms I enjoy are on there; list below the cut (this is like a really telling look at who I am as a person also lmfao):

• The Terror has been nominated with 20 (!) different ships
• Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell has several Strange ships and a couple of Childermass ships
• Ravenous - Hart/Ives
• Conclave - Bellini/Lawrence
• Granada!Sherlock Holmes - Holmes/Watson/Lestrade
• Poirot (TV) - Poirot/Hastings and Poirot/Japp
• The Great Mouse Detective (!) - Basil/Dawson
• Raffles - Bunny/Raffles
• Several Classic Doctor Who pairings (this made me very happy since I think individual incarnation ships would not be permitted in, say, Yuletide, despite being effectively different characters): Five/Ainley, Eight/Roberts!Master and Three/Delgado Master are all on the list
• Lawrence of Arabia - Lawrence/Ali
• Master and Commander and the Aubreyad - Jack/Stephen
• The Mummy has one (1) ship nominated and it's Ardeth Bey/Jonathan Carnahan, which is exactly what I hoped it would be, and I hope that gets a fic because the whole concept is so perfect

Some real surprise noms: I would never have guessed that Raffles/Bunny and Aubrey/Maturin had less than 200 fics on ao3, but the latter is nominated for both the books and the movie! Feels fake.

This is really promising; I'm gonna have to remember to keep an eye out for this when the works drop at the end of August.
