Fandom Promo 2023!

[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!

EDIT: WE HAVE A SPREADSHEET! Thanks to Jaclynhyde we now have a spreadsheet you can access HERE.

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.

The Skeleton Twins (2014)

[dauntlessshadowice]

Title: The Skeleton Twins (2014)

Media: Film

Approx length: 93 minutes (1 hr 33 min)

Where to find it: Amazon Prime Video (renting, not sure about buying)

What is it, in summary: Milo and Maggie Dean—estranged twins—are forced back into each other’s lives after ten years of not seeing each other when Milo tries to kill himself and the hospital calls Maggie to let her know. This causes them to evaluate their choices and figure out how to move forward.

What do you love about it?: The realistic portrayal of siblings. I’m a twin myself, and I especially like the unnatural similarities between Maggie and Milo’s lives (re: the beginning of the movie), and although ‘Twins’ is literally in the title, there’s no focus on, like—okay, there is, but no one’s out there asking them if they can read each other’s minds like they do with my sister and I. Anyway. They’re snarky and they keep each other out of their lives, but at the end of the day, they really do care for each other, and that’s what I really love about this.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Future fic. Or pre-canon backstory. Anything involving both Milo and Maggie.

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?: Um. Not really, but it’s just the one movie.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Suicide is a huge overall theme of this movie. Both main characters attempt it. There is dubious consent at one point, and a plot point is about one of the main characters having been in a relationship with his English teacher when he was fifteen.
