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:

Title:
Please put your fandom's title in the subject of your comment, too. This helps people find your promo again.

Media:

Approx length:

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: Starlight Brigade — TWRP ft. Dan Avidan (Music Video)

A gif from the music video showing shards of a sphere crumble and explode into a black triangle. Strive then drives his spaceship through it and meets his reflection once he's entered the other side.

Approx length: 4 minutes

What is it, in summary?: An alien boy has to save his planet with the help of the Starlight Brigade, a space crew made up of members in the band TWRP.

What makes it great?: The colors! The animation! And… the music, of course! It gives me heavy nostalgic vibes and has the potential for a lot of worldbuilding. The original plot is straightforward and your typical hero's journey, which gives a lot of potential for additional plot/conflicts/etc.

Also…
A gif from the music video showing Strive looking at the sky. He turns his head toward the viewer, tears up, and breaks into a sprint off-screen.

Strive! A soft boy!!! I am obsessed with him and wholeheartedly invite you to fawn over him with me. He’s expressive, has hair floof, and a heart of gold. What’s not to love?

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Anything with Strive. Particularly if it’s shippy. I love him, and I want to know more about him. How does one woo this blue alien? What is he like in an established relationship? How do you not cuddle and shower him with love and affection every second of your life?

I've never been all that interested in sci-fi things, but I like that the barrier of entry for this one is really low. It's a five-minute fandom with a sandbox for worldbuilding pretty much built into it!
