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: Sorrows of Love - Parthenius

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: If you like Ancient Greek tragedy, this women-centric collection of short (1-2 paragraphs each, 36 in total) "love stories" might be relevant to your interest. They center around mortal women, though there are some divine interventions and magical elements (e.g. animal transformations). Many of the stories have unhappy endings, but you can focus on the romantic parts or come up with an alternate ending for her. For me, you can mix the stories together or focus on the one that's most compelling, and I am totally fine with both the romantic and the darker routes.

Content warning: "Love Stories" (as these are sometimes titled) is a misnomer; most of these stories are tragedies. In typical Ancient Greek fashion, rampant non-con (not graphic) and objectification of women.
