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.

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: Badlands 2005

Media: unsold TV pilot

Approx length: 49 minutes

Where to find it:
The whole thing is free on Youtube. (https://youtu.be/ndGkKlBa3bw)

What is it, in summary?: It's the futuristic year 2005, and humans are beginning to come back to the drought-ravaged badlands. Water tankers are being pursued by Mad Max-style raiders, and the only ones who can help are the US marshals--in this case, Garson McBeth and his cyborg partner RX-107, whom he dubs "Rex." The two are tasked with transporting two mail-order brides to a distant water camp and run into trouble when one of the brides isn't quite who she claims to be.

What do you love about it?: I love the setting--very western, but very Mad Max, too. Most of all I love the banter between Garson and Rex. They're a little bit stock (Garson is every hot shot buddy cop ever, and Rex is his more straight-laced, acerbic partner) but there's enough there with the setting and the fact that Rex is a cyborg that you can latch on easy enough.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: non-slash-y Garson & Rex stuff. I love their relationship, especially regarding Rex's nature as a cyborg essentially created to reflect Garson's interests back at him and keep him from burning out.

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?: It's just the one episode.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): violence. People can also be kind of dehumanizing toward Rex, so if that's something that bothers you, this canon probably isn't your jam.
