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.

Rope (1948)
Title: Rope (1948)
Media: Movie
Approx length: 1 hour 20 minutes
Where to find it: You can find it on archive.org, or on streaming services.
What is it, in summary?: Two men try to convince themselves they've committed the perfect murder by hosting a dinner party after strangling a former classmate to death.
(IMDB Summary)
Or...
What if gay people could kill (feat. Jimmy Stewart)?
What do you love about it?: It's a Hays Code movie that got away with a lot of gay. It was adapted from an English play, so the original script had the characters calling each other 'dear boy'. All of that got censored out, while... the rest of the movie remains.
It's also quite a tense thriller, for being set in one room. If you like Hitchcock – great, he made this. If you don't like Hitchcock – great, this isn't like any of his other movies.
Also, for film nerds out there – it's shot in one take (sort of)! They had to change reels every 20 minutes due to technical limitations, but it's disguised fairly neatly. It really feels like a play.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Obviously Brandon/Phillip, but also examinations of their relationships with the other characters.
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?: No? But here is a taster.
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence): Murder! It's based on the Leopold and Loeb murders. Also discussions of the Ubermensch and Nazi Germany.

Yes, such a shame. No ill will toward Farley Granger but I find Dall a lot more convincing, at least in Rope.
