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!

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

Here are some areas you can cover:

Where to find it:
(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)

What is it, in summary?:

What do you love about it?:

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?:

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?:

Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence):
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: Beetlejuice Beetlejuice (Movie 2024)

Media: Feature film

Approx length: 104 minutes (or 1 hour 44 minutes)

Where to find it: Now playing at your local theater.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: Fic about Astrid and Jeremy, two characters who only appear in this film. SPOILERS BELOW for the rest of this post – since this is still a relatively new film.

Jeremy is the love interest of Astrid Deetz, Lydia's daughter. During their first kiss, Astrid smiles for the first time in the film's runtime! Then she notices that the pair are floating off the ground of his attic – he was a ghost this whole time who died around the year 2000! I thought this would then turn into a cute romance subplot, like a teenage and gender swapped version of 'Corpse Bride.' But instead he turned out to be a murderous villain. I'd love to see an AU where Jeremy isn't evil and they get up to wacky goth hijinks together as a couple....OR if you do want to go the canon route of him as evil, a fic of Lydia (and Beetlejuice? Or her ghost dad Richard?) attempting to cheer up Astrid post-breakup could also be fun.

If the Juletide challenge runs again this year, I've always headcanoned Lydia as Jewish due to her actress Winona Ryder. Something about her or Astrid or Astrid's dad at Chanukah could be fun.
