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.

Approx length: 30 to 60 hours, depending on completion
Where to find it:
XBox 360 and Playstation 3
What is it, in summary?: A whimsical role-playing game from 2007/2008 set within the fever dream of Romantic Era composer Frederic Chopin while he lies dying of tuberculosis.
What do you love about it?: This game is the perfect synthesis for a classical music nerd who is also an RPG lover (i.e. me!). All of the characters and locations have music-related names, and musical references are creatively incorporated into the gameplay and setting. The soundtrack is wonderful, of course, as are the beautiful cell-shaded graphics. It has a fantastic battle system, and is by all measures a very good quality, well-made video game. But for me, it's the tribute to Chopin that it serves as which makes it special.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: My ideal request for this would be an alternate ending, as I found the canon ending (the good ending, mind you) rather confusing and disappointing compared to the rest of the game.
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?: Instead of playing the full game, a person could watch the 'movie' version (cutscene compilation) on YouTube to experience the story in a shorter format.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence):
None that I can think of! It's pretty wholesome, overall.
