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!




Here are some areas you can cover:

<b>Title</b>:
Please put your fandom's title in the subject of your comment, too. This helps people find your promo again.

<b>Media</b>:

<b>Approx length</b>:

<b>Where to find it</b>:
(If giving links, please only link to legal sources. You may want to encourage people to contact you directly if they are having trouble finding a canon and you can give them tips)

<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>:

<b>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?</b>:

<b>Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence)</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.

False Doctrine series - Alice Degan

[personal profile] choirwoman 2024-09-09 02:59 pm (UTC)(link)
Title: From All False Doctrine / Neither Have I Wings

Media: Books

Approx length: 526 and 334 pages, respectively

Where to find it: "Anywhere books are sold" (I got Kobo editions from my go-to ebook store, which is not the Big A)

What is it, in summary? Fantasy of an Anglo-Catholic flavour set in the 1920s in Toronto / the 1940s in England.

What do you love about it? People are friends! People are being good people! People do good things for each other! The books are unashamedly Christian without being in any way proselytising or sappy. The pace is leisurely, even slow, without dragging. In the first book, there's a wonderful slow-burn romance. In the second book a trope I dislike (friends to lovers) is evaded very elegantly: both of the friends already firmly love elsewhere, but they remain friends throughout.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it? Missing-scene stories, friendship banter. Defintely gen rather than ship, though there's a lot of potential for shippiness.

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? Either book can stand on its own. Some characters in False Doctrine appear in Wings, mostly in the background, but the story is perfectly clear if you don't know them. False Doctrine has more music, Wings more war heroism and suspense.

Content warnings: Rampant Anglo-Catholicism (and in the second book also Greek Orthodoxy). Angels and demons; suspense and supernatural events but no overt horror. Some story-appropriate violence.

Note: I forgot to nominate it! If you have a spare slot, please think of me! (I know there are at least 2 people who know this fandom and aren't me, and I'd love to be able to offer and request it)
