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!

<b>What do you love about it?</b>:
<b>What sort of things are you likely to request for it?</b>:

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.

Ogi's Summer Break (Manga)
Title: Ogi's Summer Break
Media: Manga (BL)
Length: 2 Volumes - about 300 pages (It took me an hour) (Word is a third volume is coming!)
Where to find it: Possibly local library (I found vol. 1 on Hoopla digital with my library).
Barnes and Noble - eBook: Volume 1, Volume 2 $7.49 ea.
What is it, in summary?
Tago is blind. Ogi sometimes likes to dress more femininely. It doesn't bother Tago, who is simply happy that Ogi has taken an interest in him. With this in mind, Tago suggests they date for the summer, and so their bond grows closer. But as the summer draws to a close, Ogi and Tago are forced to consider what they really mean to each other and whether this is a relationship that could outlast the boundaries of just a summer break...
What do you love about it?: I LOVE the variety of representation here. Gay boys! A blind character! A character who paints his nails, and wears skirts, and shares his sister's closet but everyone's chill about it and it doesn't have to be this huge thing. Tago likes him because of those things, he likes that Ogi paints his nails so he can ask what color they are and he can feel how long Ogi's hair is or hear the cute little accessories Ogi carries on his bag.
I'm just obsessed with not only the dynamic presented between the more aloof Tago and the self-conscious Ogi but because it presents so many unique situations. I wrote a series of short stories about it but I really could devour at least 10k more of them.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it? Post-canon or missing scene fic. There are two volumes and they fly right by, so I would LOVE to receive a fic exploring what the story would feel like as a slower burn. The story had a good enough resolution but I feel like more drama could have been injected between where the story began and where it ended.
I'm also a huge fan of slice of life and fluff. The stakes don't have to be super high to still be entertaining. A domestic plot will absolutely still grip my attention, especially if Tago is there just living his life. I love to hear about other people's lives that are so different from mine, which is another draw I have to his character. There's a lot I feel I could still have to know about his world considering he's blind.
Content notes (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence) - this is at your discretion and is not expected to be comprehensive: There is a scene in the first volume where Tago shows Ogi some porn unprompted and asks him to describe the acts to him.
