2022 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!

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.

(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.

SUNDOWN — Short Film

[sarunohadaki]

Title: SUNDOWN

Media: Animated short film

Approx length: 5 minutes

Where to find it: Youtube video

What is it, in summary?: Ami's part of a traditional dance troupe that's about to perform. The only problem? One of the members is missing.

What do you love about it?: The energy, the colors, the characters, the environment. The way things escalate from "Sacha joined a rival team" to "omg he must have died!!!" (Seriously, these characters are SO charming and come with a fun dash of drama.) I especially love the storytelling, how it's fast-paced enough for you to feel the tension of the atmosphere, just as the characters do.



Look at how badass this poster looks!!! You can glean so much from these character's personalities just from one image. Isn't that wonderful? The little Instagram images featured in the video are the same way. I've also found the directors on twitter and am sucking up
allll the lore now. (Did you know Ami and Jun are cousins?)

I would be honestly so happy if there were any fic for this on AO3, but atm, there's nothing. Let's change that! I even did all the digging (because I have an obsession) and learned everybody's name.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: The main cast's backstories/character studies; worldbuilding and exploring Ami's life in the circus; retelling the short film from Sacha's perspective.


A colorboard for Sundown shared by director Juliette Brocal on Twitter. (You should def check it out!!)

This is late, but thank you! I hope I do, too. I sometimes see it still on YT and I rewatch it.
