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:

(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: Dave's Spokesman

Media: Web Video

Approx length: Probably under an hour if you watch all of them; the original video is only 4 minutes.

Where to find it: Start here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FeOZhw-ukso&list=PLV_qemO0oathL1flVEebCu5b8Qr0BY36N&index=4&pp=iAQB and be sure to watch the post-credits scene; it adds extremely important context to everything that follows.

Here's a playlist containing several more of them: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV_qemO0oathL1flVEebCu5b8Qr0BY36N

And if you wish to seek out more there are others on YouTube not in the playlist.

What is it, in summary?: A parody of local news featuring an unnamed reporter who gives a less-than-helpful newscast while also advertising various odd businesses run by a guy named Dave.

What do you love about it?: The sheer confusion of it all! You can sort of tell what's happening with the events being reported on, but it's presented in this way where you're left wondering how exactly we got into this situation.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?: I'm curious about the worldbuilding-- what is it like being on the production crew of this show? How did Dave and the Spokesman get mixed up with each other? Who is *watching* it? What is the guest-finding process like, since we can tell that the guy who did go on the show voluntarily has never seen it before? How conscious is the Spokesman of the way he comes off to other people?

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?: "What's Going On?" is really the only one essential to watch (again, as long as you watch all the way through the post-credits scene); everything else adds to the joke ("What's Going On Inside?" in particular), but the first one really does encapsulate everything.
