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.

What is it, in summary?
Jeff Satur is a singer/songwriter/actor from Thailand. He created stories, characters, and lore for his Space Shuttle No. 8 (also known as SS8) album music videos. These made reappearances in a cinematic trailer for the album tour, and continued to develop in performances and recordings on the tour. The box set for the album included a hardcover book with even more character lore and story to tie the music videos together.

What do you love about it?
I really love Jeff Satur's storytelling. He writes speculative fiction (horror, science fiction, fantasy, magical realism) with interesting puzzles and twists, and everything is beautifully filmed. I can watch his videos a dozen times and still catch new moments and imagery. He draws on inspirations from Peter Pan to Hannibal, and gives them his own spin. The MVs are all very cool on their own, but once you start connecting them, it opens up a giant sandbox to play in.

What sort of things are you likely to request for it?
I'm intrigued by the life-and-death-and-rebirth immortality elements (Moonshine dropping on the bridge, Ghost being ageless, Sunshine's 'love die' journal, Lucid beneath the tree, the reincarnation in Fade) and recurring imagery. I love the dragon on Sunshine's phin, and everything on the train in the cinematic trailer, including Black's photograph on the newspaper. I love the way Sunshine's smile/reflection appears in mirrors (Black Tie, cinematic trailer). I'd love to explore the augmented humanity aspects for some of the characters (Moonshine, Ghost), possibly in conjunction with some of the cool jewelry choices (is that an earring? is it a knife? is it a key?). I really enjoy crossovers and fusions with other canons in this fandom, because there's so much you can do with it. Howl's Moving Castle, The Raven Cycle/The Dreamer Trilogy, Dollhouse...there are some amazing possibilities.

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?
Yes! If you wanted to do a deep dive into the cinematic trailer alone, or the Journey Book as it relates to the MVs, that would be amazing. Black Tie, Lucid, and Dum Dum would also be fantastic choices.
