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: Ultramechatron Team Go!

Media: Streaming TV show

Approx length: 11 episodes, of which the longest is 25 minutes and the rest are under 20.

Where to find it: On Dropout.tv; a subscription is required, but it's pretty cheap. You can also subscribe to Dropout on YouTube and watch it there.

What is it, in summary?: It's a parody of kids' mech shows like Power Rangers, done with gloriously cardboard-looking practical effects and also real love and attention in the character work.

What do you love about it?: The show uses its short total runtime to go from "one of the Chosen, Destined Pilots is just a party dude who keeps smoking up in his cockpit" to "what is goodness, how do you know, and what would it mean for it to win?" while always maintaining a sure sense of its characters and rock-solid comedy. If you are a fan of any of the College Humor cast, a bunch of the all-stars are here (Mike Trapp, also writing! Brennan Lee Mulligan! Rekha Shankar! Katie Marovitch, stealthily the weirdest person from CH! Raph Chestang! Jess Ross!) and the show really plays to their strengths.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Gosh what a good question. Post-canon fic, probably!

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Cartoonish violence, almost always against prop "monsters" or "robots" that resemble living bodies only in the broadest sense.
