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:
<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!
New Amsterdam (TV Series)
SUMMARY: This is a TV series running on NBC which premiered in 2018 and currently has 3 seasons available, 2 of which are on Netflix and all three are on Youtube (for $). From wikipedia:
New Amsterdam follows Dr. Max Goodwin as he becomes the medical director of one of the United States' oldest public hospitals, aiming to reform the neglected facility by tearing up its bureaucracy to provide exceptional care to patients.
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Okay, so I'm not American. I come from a land of socialized medicine, and admittedly I love how ham-fisted and heavy-handed it is about SO MANY ISSUES in American medical care. There are episodes where they seriously consider defrauding insurance companies because patients need treatments! There is an episode where they break into the hospital with better equipment to do a specialized surgery! There's an episode where a character says that RACISM is why his patient is sick, and demands that an insurance company recognize it! It's totally wild.
I also love a lot of the minor characters, from Iggy Frome (the psychiatrist who struggles with his self-esteem), to Vijay Kapoor (the neurologist trying to figure out, too late, how to be human), to Lauren Bloom (the ER doctor with an addiction issue). The show is super feel-good, and if you like medical dramas, I'd definitely recommend it.
WHERE I CAN FIND IT: Netflix and YouTube.
I AM ASKING FOR... ER shenanigans with Lauren Bloom, Casey Acosta, and Camila Candelario. I am into a Lauren/Casey ship, because Casey is always there for her and fixes her errors in the worst of her addiction days, but I'd also be into diving in depth into either Casey or Candelario, because even if they are super minor characters, they both have lines indicating that they're military vets because Casey references being in Iraq and Candelario references being in Afghanistan. I want to see more of that aspect of them both!

Is your fourth character slot open or are you planning to nom someone else beyond those three?

She and Lauren are too cute together.
