2022 Yuletide Promo Post

[crantz]

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.

(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.

Rec: Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came

[mme_hardy]

Title: Childe Roland to the Dark Tower Came
Media: Poem
Approx length: 1700 words

Where to find it: https://www.bartleby.com/246/654.html

What is it, in summary?:A Romantic poem with a capital R. Childe Roland passes on a quest through many dreadful landscapes. At last he reaches the Dark Tower, raises his horn to his lips, and blows a challenge ... and there it ends.

What do you love about it?: This is a big overblown poem.
"Then came some palsied oak, a cleft in him
Like a distorted mouth that splits its rim
Gaping at death, and dies while it recoils."

That's Keats Browning writing about a tree. One tree.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: I'd like to see some extended worldbuilding; some hints at Childe Roland's past and this quest; if the author feels daring, what happens after the horn is blown.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence):
"Cripple" used as an insult and a character name
