yuletide | Yuletide Fandom Promo 2024!

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!

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: Roseanne (TV 1988)

Media: TV Show

Approx length: 231 21-22 minute episodes = 4851-5082 minutes (80.5-84 hours)

Where to find it: Peacock in the US. No longer streaming in Canada, sadly.

What is it, in summary: A nine season 90s sitcom (+ one season revival) following the middle-class, blue-collar Conner family——Roseanne Conner, her husband Dan, and their children Becky, Darlene, and D.J.

What do you love about it?: Darlene Conner. She's super relatable and I love her and the snarky humour she has with her family, and how it reminds me of my own family.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Darlene is my all-time favourite character, so anything involving her canon relationship with David, her friendship (and unfortunately non-canon relationship) with Molly (or both!), and anything involving her siblings and/or parents. I’m going to request to examine her life closely, basically.

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?: Actually, yes. I tend to stick to seasons 4-6 when rewatching and often tend to write within those seasons when writing, and my prompts will go into more detail about a few of the storylines within those seasons.

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): It's a 90s sitcom, so there's 90s-typical humour. There's a two-part episode involving an abusive relationship, but it can easily be skipped and isn't talked about much beyond that. Not sure what else.
