yuletide | 2021 Yuletide Promo Post

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:

WHERE CAN I FIND IT (optional):

(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!

FANDOM NAME: David Blaize - E. F. Benson
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT:
A two-book (well, technically three, but I have not read the short prequel) series, chronicling David's experiences from before he goes to public school to through his university days.

These books are incredibly sweet. David's POV is a delight, and the books feel refreshing and far ahead of their time. Young David's observations are precious; it's fantastic kid POV and he continues to be wonderful as he grows. It's low-stakes, slice of life stuff, with charming characters. Frank, David's friend, is the other character I'll be requesting. Their relationship, which starts out with David as Frank's fag (yes, it really is a British public school story from 1916) and develops from there. I don't want to spoil anything, but they are close and ridiculously shippable. (Frank is canon gay - in 1916! - and David is canon oblivious.) Subjects for potential exploration include cricket, archaeology, and World War I (the timeline is somewhat nebulous; you could easily go there if you're interested or not if you aren't). There's so much potential for get-togethers, domesticity, or just the same sort of stuff we get in canon again.
WHERE CAN I FIND IT (optional):

David Blaize is on Project Gutenberg.

David of King's is on the Hathi Trust.

David and the Blue Door, prequel, on Project Gutenberg.
