Yuletide Fandom Promo 2024!

[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!

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: Fangirl

Media: Book/manga

Approx length: 483 pages/4 volumes

Where to find it: You can check it out at the library or find it on Amazon:

Novel
Graphic novels

That being said, it's a direct adaptation, the manga's story is the exact same as the book's. (We're not talking any canon foreigners or exclusive story arcs here!)

What is it, in summary?: A girl going off to college for the first time struggles with changes, meeting new people, coming out of her shell, trying to finish her epic fanfic before the final Simon Snow book comes out, and having feelings for a cute guy who obviously likes her.

What do you love about it?: How the main character slowly grows throughout the story, learning to spread her wings and be comfortable with other people without giving up the fandom she loves so much. The characters are all so well-written and it really taps into the feeling of being so devoted to a fandom and your OTP. It helps that Cath respects the line between fandom and canon, too.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Gen and shippy fic, character studies for Cath and Wren, friendship, pre-canon

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?: Best to read the whole thing.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): A character gets alcohol poisoning, and there's mention of blood drinking (one of the characters in Simon Snow is a vampire)
