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.

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.

Great Freedom (movie)

[geckoholic]

Title: Great Freedom

Media: movie

Approx length: ~ two hours

Where to find it: Since movie streams differ by country, I won't put links here, but I watched it on German Amazon Prime.

What is it, in summary?: In post-war Germany, liberation by the Allies does not mean freedom for everyone. Hans is imprisoned again and again under Paragraph 175, a law criminalizing homosexuality. Over the course of decades, he develops an unlikely yet tender bond with his cellmate Viktor, a convicted murderer.

What do you love about it?: It's raw and honest and doesn't pull its punches. The two main characters aren't easily liked, but as they grow to care for each other, so does the viewer. It's a rough love, but deep when it finally fights its way to the surface for both of them. The movie is also about the consequences of making love a crime, for this one guy who won't give up on who he is and suffers the consequences again and again. An emotional and touching story. (trailer with english subtitles; there's also a streaming link in the description)

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Explorations between the lines of canon, and examinations of setting and history.

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?: It's one movie, so I'm leaving this one blank.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Homophobia, obviously. Also violence, corporeal punishment, isolation, references to the holocaust and concentration camps, and minor character death.
