2021 Yuletide Promo Post

[crantz]

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!

Top 10 Games You Can Play in Your Head by Yourself

[yhlee]

FANDOM NAME: Top 10 Games You Can Play in Your Head by Yourself - J. Theophrastus Bartholomew

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: This is a crack parody of the recent (?) genre of solo journaling RPGs, and is a glorified exercise in ten make-believe scenarios you can "play" by yourself, including Space, Chess, and The Alamo. It is weirdly hostile and gonzo bonkers, e.g.

Who: This is the most beautiful of all the answers. If you are reading this right now then you have all the who you could ever need.

[...]

Who, Continued: You might think to yourself: but what about all my friends? To which I retort, of course, and without hesitation: who needs them! Do you imagine that your friends will be there for you when the sun extinguishes itself and this world ceases to exist, as it is wont to do? Will your friends be there when the pillars turn to dust and the horsemen return to town? Life is not a popularity contest. Don't kid yourself, kid. You're flying solo in these games, just like you've always been and always will be. You can go over to your friend's house and huddle around a television or squeeze onto a couch or sweat over a board game...or you can close those eyes and win the Alamo for the good guys. (4-5)

Needless to say, there's a ton of potential here for worldbuilding or meta fic!

WHERE CAN I FIND IT (optional): This is available as a print book (from Bookshop.org; from Book Depository).
