Yeah, I've been trying to think about how I could up the chromatic character count in my nominations. It's sort of difficult to do with opera fandoms, unless we want to get into the really faily orientalist ones. And of course with modern color-blind casting we see a lot of these classic roles sung by non-white singers, but that never quite fixes the problem.
I do have plenty of chromatic sources that I'd love to see fic for, but I'm sort of skeptical that even Yuletide could produce Dhalgren fic. Hmm... I could probably swap out Six Characters in Search of an Author for Haroun and the Sea of Stories and still expect the same sort of meta-story I'm hoping for.
