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.

You can see last year's promo post here (link).

(PS, say hello to our mod helper account! Our minions are helping with the data entry, plus this keeps the promo alerts from clogging up the mod inbox.)

Promo Spreadsheet

For ease of browsing fandom promos, we 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. You don't need to do anything to get your promo info on the sheet, just follow the posting instructions and it will be added for you.

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 if your fandom is already there. 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!
