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!

*Length: Very long, but the reading can really fly by.
Where can it be found? https://www.girlgeniusonline.com/
What is it/what is it about? Adventure! Romance! Mad Science! More Loyalty Than You Can Shake a Wrench At!
What do you love about it? Love and joy and laughter, gaslamp style. There's just so much sense of /fun/ as well as fealty. It sometimes gets a little violent and collateral-damagey for me, but the way it's handled takes the collateral-damage issue seriously without being grimdarky. The Foglios' art style has such clear contrast that even I can enjoy it, and my favorite characters are even color-coded (Maxim, my darling purple-skinned boy)
Where should people start?Top button of the entry screen to take it from the top.
Do you have any content warnings? Aforementioned sometimes violence and collateral damage. There are some character deaths, just ... not always as often as it seems.
