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!

Midnighter and Apollo (2016)

"You're the one with the fight enhancements. I'm a mere solar-powered alien experiment."

Midnighter and Apollo (2016) is a six issue comic miniseries written by Steve Orlando with art by Fernando Blanco. Its titular characters are Midnighter (75% human, 25% computer, 100% will kick your ass) and Apollo (sun god with a heart of gold). These two are partners in the "crimefighting duo" sense, but also in the "lovers who would go to the ends of the earth for each other" sense. And that's exactly what happens in this title: Apollo is grievously injured, and his soul is trapped in the underworld. It's up to Midnighter to—quite literally—go to hell to save him.

This series is great because it features all the action-packed theatrics of a comic book, coupled with the undying love of a romance novel, all served with a side of banter. If you're into "grumps for sunshine" dynamics, or "murderous man who's soft for his boyfriend," then this is for you.

You can find the trade paperback for purchase here or you can read it online for free here (I recommend adblock). This series follows on nicely from the Midnighter (2015) title however it does stand alone. I will be requesting our two heroes for this fandom!
