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.

Matthew Bourne's Sleeping Beauty: A Gothic Romance
Media: Film (of a ballet)
Approx length: 115 minutes
Where to find it: For free on youtube, or you can get the dvd on Amazon or ebay.
What is it, in summary?: An absolutely gorgeous staging of the Sleeping Beauty ballet with music by Tchaikovsky and choreography by Matthew Bourne- and vampires! In this telling, vampires were the magical beings who both blessed and cursed Princess Aurora, and her lover took up the curse himself so as to live the 100 years while she slept. And then there’s the complication that the vampire charged with carrying out his mother’s curse upon the princess has fallen in love with her himself…
What do you love about it?: The music, the costumes, the spellbinding reinterpretation of a classic fairy tale with horror and glamor and swooning supernatural melodrama! I just want to get lost in the world of this ballet, and I hope you will as well!
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Lots of worldbuilding, sweet Aurora/Leo stuff, and super dark Aurora/Caradoc stuff.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Vampire-typical violence and sexual menacing.
