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: Welcome to Our Village Please Invade Carefully (WtOVPIC if you can't type all that out each time)

WHAT IS IT: It's a BBC Radio sitcom by Big Finish author Eddie Robson that ran from 2012-2014, with only 11x 30 mins eps in total. It stars Hattie Morahan, Peter Davison, Jan Francis, Hannah Murray (Gilly from GoT) & Julian Rhind Tutt (S1)/Charles Edwards (S2).

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: One tiny English village, Cresdon Green, gets invaded by aliens as part of a spearhead to an invasion that is eternally delayed thanks to budget cuts, while the spearhead's commander, Uljabaan (Julian Rhind-Tutt/Charles Edwards), runs a human research program to prepare with the aid of his advanced Computer/AI and a bunch of minions. Katrina Lyons (Hattie Morahan), who was only popping back for the weekend to visit her parents Richard & Margaret (Peter Davison & Jan Francis), is the only one in the village determined to try and fight off the invasion and save the planet, with the aid of bored (sometimes stoned) teen, Lucy (Hannah Murray). It's good-natured but sharp satire (even if the Computer says satire doesn't work) & was cancelled much too soon, so it's crying out for fic. Highlights include (imo) the Computer generally, Katrina's attempt to save Shakespeare, Margaret's ability to conquer through cake, any time the Minions get rebellious, the fete pun, the printer,and the funniest pub quiz ever.

If you want a quick taster, I've got some quotes and things at my tumblr that I've collected.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT: As a recent BBC Radio thing, it's really easy to get hold of! You can get the complete series as an audiobook by whatever usual means you obtain audio material. You can also just download or stream an off-air recording of the original broadcast at the Internet Archive for free! See here (but there are a couple of uploads to choose from there).

This sounds delightful!

It really is! (Or, obviously I think so - I hope you have fun with it, too.)

This sounds fun and I hadn't ever heard of it before! (I am very tickled at the idea of Hannah Murray being known as anything other than Cassie from Skins tbh.)

I'm too old to have watched Skins! XD
