Fandom Promo 2023!
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!
EDIT: WE HAVE A SPREADSHEET! Thanks to Jaclynhyde we now have a spreadsheet you can access HERE.
Here are some areas you can cover:
<b>Title</b>:
Please put your fandom's title in the subject of your comment, too. This helps people find your promo again.
<b>Media</b>:
<b>Approx length</b>:
<b>Where to find it</b>:
(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)
<b>What is it, in summary?</b>:
<b>What do you love about it?</b>:
<b>What sort of things are you likely to request for it?</b>:
<b>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?</b>:
<b>Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence)</b>:
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: Currently calling it Dragon Shield Valentine's Dragons 2019 and 2021-2023. Still waiting for a canonical fandom tag and/or opinion from the mod team for a finalized title.
Media: Series of images, meant to be used on tabletop game playmats and other merchandise.
Approx length: Four images.
Where to find it: 2019, 2021 (link is only to image), 2022, 2023, and this is a summary of the overarching storyline (not all the links work)
What is it, in summary?: It's the love story of two dragons, one black and the other white. They meet by the shores of a beautiful river and sparks fly! They go to a solstice festival together! They get engaged! They get married! They murder the shit out of every human they meet and eat the bodies!
What do you love about it?: I'm a sucker for "they're so awful, they make each other worse, they're a menace to everyone around them, but they love each other and they're so happy together". I also like the recreation of classic romantic tropes - this was Valentine's Day merchandise, after all - with the very literally violent subversion.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: I'd love to see some fragments of their relationship that aren't shown in here - if the dragon courting process is supposed to last "longer than most humans live", we can't be looking at the whole thing. Alternately, further adventures of Black Dragon and White Dragon. What do they do for anniversaries? What are their children like?
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?: Not really. I think to understand the stuff I'm asking for, you'd need to go through the whole thing.
