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.

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: Tarot of the Haunted House

Media: Tarot deck

Approx length: Standard 78-card deck

Where to find it: From the publisher at Llwellyn, or from Amazon, Barnes & Nobel, or wherever else you get your mass market tarot decks.

What is it, in summary?: It’s a gothic romance told through a tarot deck! It’s about a gothic heroine named Raven Wandsworth who comes to a mysterious manor which turns out to have pretty much every dark secret imaginable, from vampires to cults to ghosts and beyond. She even has a dashing love interest, the Knight of Cups- an angel!

What do you love about it?: There are a million possibilities within each card and especially following the "plot" of each suit from ace through court carts. I own a lot of tarot decks, and I've never found anything that interpreted the Fool's Journey like this. Built on a love of old school gothic romances and Hammer Horror movies, it turns each classic tarot archetype on its head to find something entirely new. I love how well characters are conveyed through successive images throughout the deck, and I love how much story potential there is in any combination of cards!

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Horror and romance, fleshing out the plots of the suits, telling the story behind your favorite card images, or stories based on a particular spread!

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?: There's a review with lots of pictures on aeclectic, and more reviews on youtube.

Content warnings: Some violence and general macabre imagery, but nothing gory or explicit
