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!
Cheju has started a spreadsheet for promo! Here's the link!

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

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.
Previous fandom promo posts can be found at this tag!
Bite Marks and Fluorite (Manga)
Media: Explicit BL/yaoi manga
Length: 1 volume, complete
Where to find it: Read on Renta or Hoopla. A paperback version is set to release in early October. You can also find it in Japanese via the creator's Pixiv.
What is it, in summary?
Kosaka Haru is brutally attacked on his way home from work, and he's certain the wounds are fatal. One problem: when he wakes up, he's somewhere unfamiliar. It turns out he's been bitten by the last half-blood vampire, Akihito, and will soon become one himself. For now, though, he's in a state between human and vampire called a 'tank', where his blood is more tempting to vampires. And Akihito doesn't intend to share.
What do you love about it?:
VAMPIRE PORN. Seriously, it's not very deep. It is, however, extremely pretty.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?
Smut and worldbuilding! The story is set in the relatively near future of 2096 but humanity seems to have changed so much—the suburbs are abandoned and people cluster together close to stations; the northern hemisphere is sunny and hot even in January; and vampires live among us. These vampires seem to lose potency as they turn others, and they also can't go into the sun.
BUT ALSO damn is there a lot of potential for escalating pain play and some dom/sub vibes. Biting and marking of territory! Aphrodisiac saliva! Edging and blood and stamina-pushing sex marathons.
Content notes: I'm not especially up on current vampire trends, but I don't think there's anything unexpected for the genre. Plenty of blood throughout.
