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.

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:Rosaline Palmer Takes the Cake

Media: Book

Approx length:The book is a bit over 400 pages; the audiobook is about 11 1/2 hours.

What is it, in summary?:This is a contemporary romance with comedic elements. Bisexual single mum Rosaline goes on a baking competition reality show because she loves baking and the money would be a real help. Two of the competitors are attention-gettingly attractive, but which one will she end up with?

What do you love about it?:Rosaline struggles with questions of identity and values -- What is really important to her? Who should she be trying to please? There are fun and funny side characters and lots of yummy-sounding baked goods (and recipes in the back for three of them!). The book illuminates, unpacks, and subverts British class assumptions. And as a bisexual woman married to a man, I really appreciate that Rosaline is no less queer for being in a story with two ccompeting male love interests (and an ex-girlfriend she's really close to, which is serving some Sapphic realness right there).

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?:I would love to see Harry and Amelie (Rosaline's cute, precocious daughter) making some kind of surprise for Rosaline, maybe a birthday cake. Harry and Amelie's dynamic is delightful -- the way he takes her seriously and yet playfully. I'd also be delighted to get smut, maybe Rosaline pegging Harry.

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.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence):Rosaline experiences biphobia.
