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!

FANDOM NAME: Mysterious Benedict Society - TV
WHAT IS IT: Disney+ adaptation of the first Mysterious Benedict Society novel, consisting of 8 hour-long episodes
WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: There's a bigger emphasis on the adults (including Miss Perumal, Reynie's tutor/future adoptive mother, who has a much larger presence in the plot) in the show compared to the book; I particularly liked Rhonda and Number Two's relationship. Benedict and Curtain's backstory has been changed slightly, and the show uses this change to good effect for some angst.
Martina Crowe character arc! Martina's a minor antagonist in the books, but she's a bit more fleshed out in the show, and even comes to the rescue at the end! I also really enjoyed the character dynamic she and Kate had, which brings us to our final point:
Kate/Martina shippiness - there's a big emphasis on Martina trusting Kate/viewing her as her only friend. Also tetherball, which is surprisingly homoerotic.
