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.

FANDOM NAME: Remember WENN

MEDIA: TV show

Approximate length: 57 episodes, about 20 minutes each, over 4 seasons

WHAT MAKES IT GREAT: Did you know that AMC ran original programming before Mad Men? It did! WENN aired back in 1996-1998, with four short seasons and a cliffhanger. It's a screwball comedy/drama set in a radio station between 1939 and 1941, written by Rupert Holmes (if you like Pina Coladas and getting caught in the rain, you may like his sense of humor). It's like a historical version of Slings & Arrows, in many ways.

There's the small town girl new to the big city (Pittsburgh) who is the new writer, the Broadway diva now starring in 80% of the station's shows, her flirty husband, a man of 1000 voices character actor, a showgirl organist with a heart of gold and a lot of fond sexy memories of Errol Flynn, a Foley artist who never speaks, a smooth talking con artist running the station, and so much more. Every episode took place inside the studio (lobby, Studio A, green room, writer's room) and used it to great effect.

If you’re a Broadway fan, Carolee Carmelo and Amanda Naughton star as the showgirl organist and head writer.

WHERE CAN I FIND IT?
Streaming on AMC+, via app or Amazon Prime. First 7 days free!

WHERE CAN I LEARN MORE?
Linda’s WENN site has episode summaries, song lyrics, cast and character information, photos and pretty much anything else you could want. http://www.rememberwenn.org/

NYT article from a few years ago: https://www.nytimes.com/2016/01/31/arts/television/remember-wenn.html

WHAT AM I LIKELY TO REQUEST?
Shenanigans! Old time radio mishaps. Life in the 40s in the Barbazon Hotel for Women. Being snowed in at the station for Christmas (an event once referred to). Scott/Hilary, Scott/Maple, maybe even some Scott/Betty. I multiship, ha. (Scott and Maple show up in season 2.)

THIS SHOW RULED, AND I DID NOT KNOW IT IS STREAMING NOW THANK YOU

Amazon Prime has the worst algorithm in the business, I swear. Also I toyed with throwing this or Homefront into the hat, and I'm very glad to see this here.

YES ANOTHER FAN!!! I'm so glad you saw this, my friend and I both nominated so we got Scott, Betty, Maple, Hilary, Mackie and Jeff in.

Did you see the reunion the actors had last winter? I think they were happier to be back together than we fans were to see them back together. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmwhQbwCcUA
