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: The Betrayals - Bridget Collins
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: From the blurb:
At Monteverre, an ancient and elite academy hidden high in the mountains, society's best and brightest are trained for excellence in the grand jeu--the great game--an arcane and mysterious competition that combines music, art, math, and philosophy.

(TW: suicide, drug use, religious persecution.)

The story centers on Leo Martin, a former star pupil returning to Montverre against his will, and Claire Dryden, the first and only woman to teach at the academy. There's a mysterious connection between them (though Leo's sure they've never met before). There's plenty of tense enemies-to-lovers relationships, a political conspiracy closing in, and violent secrets within the academy's walls (sometimes literally). It's got the vibe of an arcane, European "Secret History". You can read a sample online here (https://preview.aer.io/The_Betrayals-MjcyMjkx?social=1&retail=1&emailcap=0&imprint=harpercollinsauz).

WHAT I PLAN TO REQUEST
Worldbuilding, pining, angst, and more worldbuilding! The grand jeu itself is mostly talked about rather than demonstrated, and I'd love anything that digs into what really happens when a game is taking place, whether it involves the canonical characters or not. There are also some younger secondary characters whom I'd really love to see developed into their future.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT (optional): At your local library, or on Bookshop (https://bookshop.org/books/the-betrayals-9780062838124/9780062838124) | Goodreads (https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/46159063)

Loved this book and plan to request it too!

Super into the idea of worldbuilding for this too! I'm also thinking of requesting it.
