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:Smyth Jewellers "Boh & Utz: A Love Story" Billboard & Commercial

Media:
A billboard and a commercial

Approx length: 30 seconds

Where to find it:
https://thedailyrecord.com/2011/05/11/boh-and-wife/
https://thedailyrecord.com/2011/05/12/boh-utz-a-love-story-continued/

What is it, in summary?:
The iconic mascots of two regional brands fell in love and got married. A very Baltimore story.

What do you love about it?: I went to college in Baltimore, MD where I was first introduced to regional brands, Utz Potato Chips and Natty Boh beer. Both brands have impossible to escape mascots with worryingly round heads.

Many years after moving back to the west coast, I heard that some enterprising jeweler had made a billboard featuring the two getting engaged. This lead to a commercial and I crack up every single time I think about it.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: I love to more about their love story. Their family life. Potato chips and beer do go together perfectly, but did things ever get rocky?
