yuletide | 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.

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: La legge di Lidia Poët | The Law According to Lidia Poët (TV)

Media: TV series

Approx length: 6 episodes approx 40 minutes each / ~ 4 hours

Where to find it: Netflix here.

What is it, in summary?: Your typical historically-inaccurate period drama based on the life of an impressive historical figure, except it's also about solving crimes. Lidia Poët is disbarred from serving as a lawyer in 1880s Turin, but she's not giving up on her chosen career. While she drafts her appeal, she takes on clients, working as her brother's assistant but really driving the cases herself.

What do you love about it?: The fashion is amazing, Lidia's outfits especially (and her insect themed jewellery!!). The relationship between Lidia and her brother Enrico is so sweet, they don't see eye to eye on a lot of things but clearly care about each other. Lidia herself is larger than life and I find her personality super engaging.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Anything, really. I enjoyed all of the series, and I especially love Lidia's family life (her relationship with Marianna, as well as aforementioned with Enrico). I think her romantic life is plenty interesting as well: Andrea's respect for her and what she can do is especially compelling to me, but her and Jacopo do have that chemistry.

Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfill your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?: Since it's so short, I think it's best to consume all the canon.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Period-typical sexism, the sort of violence you would expect in a crime show (not graphic).
