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:

FANDOM NAME:
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT:
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:Cyberpunk adaptation of Laughing in the Wind (Cfensi April Fool Post)

WHAT IS THIS: An April Fool's announcement on Cfensi about a cyberpunk TV adaptation of the Chinese wuxia novel Xiao Ao Jiang Hu (aka Laughing in the Wind) that has also genderbent most of the major characters. While only a joke and not real, the Cfensi post goes into quite a bit of detail about the plot and character arcs, plus the setting is drastically altered into a futuristic cyberpunk setting, so prior knowledge of the original novel is not needed.

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Cyberpunk worldbuilding and femslash!

Many of the major characters are now women due to the genderbending, which opens it up to lots and lots of femslash shipping potential in a cyberpunk setting! I'm nominating three female characters - Ning Zhongze, Dongfang Bubai, and Yue Buqun, and there's plenty of antagonistic shipping potential between them. Dongfang Bubai merged herself with AI technology and leads the anti-corporation Sun & Moon collective, while Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze are lovers and leaders of a major corporation before Yue Buqun became corrupted by the AI and became more ruthless and twisted. So there's lovers to enemies, enemies to lovers, or even AI/human femslash ships!

I'm also nominating worldbuilding! There's so much to play around with this universe, whether you know the source material or whether you're just basing it on the Cfensi post. All the cyberpunk worldbuilding, or possibly a wuxia/cyberpunk fusion, or more about the AI technology or the major corporations and their intra- and inter- power struggles.
