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:
<b>Title:</b>
Please put your fandom's title in the subject of your comment, too. This helps people find your promo again.
<b>Media:</b>
<b>Approx length:</b>
<b>Where to find it:</b>
(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)
<b>What is it, in summary?:</b>
<b>What do you love about it?:</b>
<b>What sort of things are you likely to request for it?:</b>
<b>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?:</b>
<b>Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence):</b>
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.

长公主在上 | Eldest Princess On Top
(also known as: Eldest Princess Above, Her Royal Highness, My Princess, The Dowager Princess is Above Me, Eldest Princess On Top)
Media: webseries
Approx length: 27 mini-episodes with a total runtime of just under one hour
Where to find it:
Youtube playlist
Compilation (all episodes in a single video)
What is it, in summary?: A mini-drama about a princess/bodyguard relationship in a reverse harem setting with spy shenanigans and political intrigue. Li Yunzhen, princess and regent for her little brother the Emperor, lives a sybaritic lifestyle and is rumoured to be corrupt and cruel; Gu Xuanqing is sent by the Emperor to spy on her in the role of a guard, but finds her not quite what the rumours say.
What do you love about it?: The dynamic between Li Yunzhen and Gu Xuanqing is great. She's in charge, of course, and plays the dominant seducer with gusto - and he's entirely unprepared for finding himself actually into it, and wanting to hand himself over to her for real. (So, yes, the titular princess is indeed very much on top. *g*) And even though he's been sent in as a spy, once he comes to know her beyond the facade she presents, betraying her starts weighing on him. Trust, loyalty, betrayal - all that tasty stuff! (And many of the usual tropes, including kneeling in the rain.) And the political intrigue doesn't just provide context for the relationship, but plays a major role itself.
There's enough material for a full-length drama in this, compressed into one hour - distilled down to its most crucial and dramatic moments, which is fascinating as well as enjoyable. :D
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: I want more of anything and everything – the romance, the BDSM, the spy shenanigans, the loyalty kink, the political intrigue. :D
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?: I don't think so.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): there’s some ethnic stereotyping around the visit of "the Prince and Princess of the Turks" (突厥王子和郡主).

A friend nominated it for me, with Li Yunzhen and Gu Xuanqing as characters.
