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.

80 days (Video game)
Media: Video game, available on Nintendo Switch™, as well as Windows, macOS, iOS and Android
Approx length: n/a
Where to find it: the official game site with links to various online shops, and a trailer
What is it, in summary?: a steampunk interactive mostly text-based game, based in a way on the famous Around the World in 80 days by Jules Verne. While it does share the protagonists (you make decisions as Passepartout and are the valet of Phileas Fogg) and the goal (to circumnavigate the world in 80 days or less), it does lean more into the steampunk approach - you can use airships of various make, fast steamboats and trains (one can be discovered to be a maglev even!), as well as mechanical elephants, meet automatons and even try to get to the Moon!
(or take the Nautilus)
It also pays far more attention to the places you pass, and while you can miss them entirely, if you do explore, you get more from the worldbuilding, which is very extensive.
What do you love about it?: I love the steampunk, I love the vague relationship between Fogg and Passepartout - depending on the playthrought you can get their relationship anywhere from fairly romantic to barely tolerable (it is never obvious, but apparently I'm a sucker for repressed XIX century gentlemen!). Or you can get Passepartout several love interests - one he can even settle down with, a nice Finn Artificer named Vitti Jokunen (go north to meet him, very-very north!) This one is more modern, with kisses, a picnic in an air balloon, bed sharing, one side running away and then a sudden meeting again!
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Fogg/Passepartout, obviously, and Passepartout/Jokunen(/Fogg), but I'd be more than fine with road trips, or just something pining.
If I do request worldbuilding, it'll likely be something to do with automatons and Artificers' Guild
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?: no, unfortunately, although there might be playthroughs on youtube.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): the reality depicted has empires cracking down on native people pretty much everywhere, you can stumble upon slavers and can do nothing about them, racism.
