Fandom Promo
One of the really fun things about a multifandom exchange is seeing what everyone else is into and maybe picking up a new fandom or two or three! This post is a place to let everyone know why your fandom(s) are great, how to get into your fandom(s), and so on.
(PS, say hello to our new mod helper account!)
Promo Spreadsheet
This year,we're taking a page out of yuletide's book and will be putting all fandom promos in a sheet for easy browsing, including browsing by roughly the length of time needed to consume the fandom. If you really think about it, it's crazy that we haven't already done up a spreadsheet for this in years past.
What to put in your promo
Necessary for the spreadsheet:
- Fandom name: Also make this the title of your comment below. If you're promoing a certain ship or section of your fandom, include it after your fandom name.
- Tagset fandom: Please copy/paste from the tagset. This will help if you go out for pinch hit.
- Media type: What kind of thing is it?
- Length: How long does it take to consume the canon? We want this to be useful for people looking to pick up new fandoms! You can put an exact time if you know it, or you can sort into these categories:
- For fandoms under 2 hours long: Very short
- For fandoms 2-5 hours long: Short
- For fandoms 5-10 hours long: Short-ish
- For fandoms 10-20 hours long: Medium
- For fandoms longer than 20 hours: Long
- For fandoms longer than 40 hours: Very long
Suggested other info:
- Where can it be found? (Only legal links for this, please.)
- What is it/what is it about?
- What do you love about it? Also, what are you planning to request for it?
- If it's a big/complex/long/scattered fandom, where should people start? Also, are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfill your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?
- Do you have any content warnings? These are at your discretion and don't need to be comprehensive. Some content "warnings" might also help attract people who deliberately look for that kind of thing!

Hazbin Hotel
Date: 2024-08-28 01:07 am (UTC)*Tagset fandom: Hazbin Hotel (Cartoon)
*Media type: Animated Musical
*Length: A little less than 4hrs
Where can it be found? Amazon, but you can watch the first half of the second episode on Youtube first, to see if you'd like it.
What is it/what is it about? In an attempt to find a non-violent alternative for reducing Hell's overpopulation, the daughter of Lucifer opens a rehabilitation hotel that offers a group of misfit demons a chance at redemption.
What do you love about it? I'll be the first to admit HH is really rushed. A typical problem with animated musicals. But there is so much potential to write about with the characters and the worldbuilding has so much there and to build upon! The fact that there are no 100% "right" characters really calls out to me. Even Charlie, who is probably the most "good" character in the show, has opinions I don't agree with and the show doesn't tell you you have to agree with her either.
The music is great too. I don't think I hate any of the tracks. Voice acting? Top notch. The animation is astounding, because the animators are allowed to do whatever they want as long as the characters still look like the characters.
But again, it's the potential of the characters that the show doesn't have time to get into that calls to me. This is the first time I've actually felt the need to create for characters before they become focused on in a season that's not even out yet. I'll get to learn the excitement/disappointment of how canon will definitely be nothing like my imagination and I can't wait for it.
Where should people start? Episode 1! If you want, you can also watch the Pilot episode which went up a few years before, but it's not necessary. It is, however, also lots of fun and can be watched for free on Youtube!
Do you have any content warnings? Sexual Themes (including abuse), Violence & Gore (part of the premise is about Heaven committing genocide on Sinners,so...), Profanity, Alcohol, Drugs & Smoking
