Three fandom things

estirose1. Fandomgiftbasket is delayed another week, but down to a handful of underfilled baskets. Still needed list: https://fandomgiftbasket.dreamwidth.org/157999.html
(I have three gifts waiting for me; I know that two of them are Original Work but the third is a mystery. I can't fill any of the needy baskets but I'm taking advantage of the delay to write fic for some non-needy ones.)
2. Yuletide nominations are starting to get approved! For me, the visual novel "The Letter" got approved straight off; as of today it has 78 works before filters. I nominated Marianne and someone asked me to nominate Zachary. I'm still waiting on Excellent Women, Meow Palace, The Ghost Who Limped, and Life After Magic (which I nominated at the request of someone else). Life After Magic and one of its characters is wrangled, the rest are not.
ETA: Meow Palace got approved! I expect the next few will take a while because they require researching.
9/27 ETA: All approved! Excellent Women and Ghost Who Limped showed up as approved shortly after one another; I was waiting for Life After Magic (Leez, Miranda, ARA) but that got approved about 10 minutes after my remaining nominations! (And kinda surprised that it was my last one cleared!)
3. Meow Palace: Forbidden City got updated to 0.6.1; I'm not sure why they didn't introduce the two new characters (and 3 new locations) at 0.6, which seemed to only introduce time-locked events. Still, I found a new favorite NPC in the form of Grandpa Huang, who seems to be the main physician there? Currently, I'm hanging about in a location with no NPCs so I'm spending some time honing some of my early skills in a place I'm not likely to be interrupted. Then I'll see if Grandpa Huang will send me on to the second new NPC.
