yuletide | 2022 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!

NEW: We've made a register! There is now a searchable Google spreadsheet index of the canons promoted on this post. Go ahead and add yours or any you see that are missing! We hope this helps connect people up with canons of interest to them.

Here are some areas you can cover:

Where to find it:
(If giving links, please only link to legal sources. You may want to encourage people to contact you directly if they are having trouble finding a canon and you can give them tips)

What is it, in summary?:

What do you love about it?:

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?:

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?:

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence):
This is at your discretion and is not expected to be comprehensive

(Bonus options: What are you thinking of requesting for this? If you're thinking of nominating worldbuilding, what sort of worldbuilding topics might people explore?)

Useful tip (Not required, but helps people if they want to engage with your fandom!):

- 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.

Title: Zombillenium

Media: Comic

Approx length: 5 volumes, with a 6th that might or might not be out in time for yuletide.

Where to find it: Amazon has both physical and ebook version for volumes 1-4.

What is it, in summary?: Zombillenium is a french comic about a theme park staffed by monsters and which deals with subjects such as workers' rights and the cutthroat nature of capitalism. Originally conceived as a safe haven for them by the park's director, the park is actually a way to collect souls for its demon owner - when an employee stops working or otherwise breaks their contract, they are sent to hell. The plot then follows Gretchen, a witch, as she attempts to free the souls of those trapped and turn the park into what it was always meant to be.

Something to take into account is that there's an animated film by the same name, and while it shares several plot points with the first volume of the comic, it's actually a prequel, not an adaptation. It explains the backstory of character that shows up in vol.4 onwards, but it's an optional watch for the purpose of my requests.

What do you love about it?: I love the humor (my favorite joke is Jaggar trying to tear a contract in two only to be told that he can't because the employee is part of the syndicate), but I also love the way it shows how easy is to be complicit of an abusive system even with the best intentions.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: I'll definitely be requesting Jaggar/Francis! I think the two capitalist vampires should kiss in between all the attempted murder.

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: Since vol. 5 is only available in french right now and, if it comes out in time, so will vol.6, I'm perfectly fine with fics only covering vols. 1-4.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): There's some nudity, but nothing explicit.
