2021 Yuletide Promo Post

[crantz]

Welcome to the Fandom Promo post, everyone!

Here's where you get those eyes on your fandoms for sign ups!

Share what makes your Yuletide fandoms the shiniest and why you love them. A big part of Yuletide is how small our fandoms can be, and this is a good way to make sure other people know what gems there are out there!

Suggested form to use:

<b>FANDOM NAME</b>:
<b>WHAT MAKES IT GREAT</b>:
<b>WHERE CAN I FIND IT (optional)</b>:


(Bonus optional: What are you thinking of requesting for this?)

EDIT:

Useful tips (Not required, but helps people if they want to engage with your fandom!):

- Mention what form of media the canon is. Is it a comic miniseries? Is it a twenty season tv show? Is it a book? Is it a twitter feed?
- Is it standalone or part of a series?
- It's best to make each fandom its own entry with its own title in the subject line! That makes it easier for people to find/see what you're promoting! Don't worry about 'spam', that is the entire point of this entry and you're using it exactly as intended.


For reference, last year's promo post!

Tales of Beauty and Madness (Books)

[kitsunerei88]

FANDOM NAME: Tales of Beauty and Madness, by Lili St. Crow

SUMMARY: Do you like fairy tale retellings? Better yet, do you like dark fairy tale retellings? Well, do I have the series for you!

The Tales of Beauty and Madness are Lili St. Crow's take on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, and Little Red Riding Hood. That's about where similarity ends because the seven dwarfs are actually vampire mafia families, Cinderella's fairy godmother is a giant spider that's trying to eat her, and Little Red Riding Hood is a werewolf. It's that kind of world.

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: The worldbuilding. Honestly, the worldbuilding of this is absolutely brilliant, and I love that there are little hints of it all over without ever getting explicit. The world was the same as ours until the Reeve, or the magical revolution, where something happened to make the world dangerously unsafe. Covered trains travel between cities, and magical power can twist and turn someone into a jack. The characters of this story is really just a way to show this world, which is strange and beautiful and also a bit dark.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT? Amazon, probably other booksellers, but likely only to be found in ebook form.

I'LL BE ASKING FOR... Worldbuilding! Tell me what happened in this world's past! Tell me about the Reeve, and twisted charm, and jacks!
