bethefirstHave you already decided what fandom(s) to write for? If so, how about doing some pimping? :D
We've all chosen tiny obscure canons, needless to say. So by doing a little promoting you might be able to entice someone else to give it a try — or perhaps you'll even run into a fellow fan, who can't wait to read your coming fic.
Your promo can be long or short, and contain whatever you feel like. Want to post a couple of intriguing screencaps from a movie? Quote a few paragraphs from a book? Rec the best episode of an anime or TV series? Talk about why you love your favorite character/pairing from your fandom? It's all good; anything goes!

Making Love (1982)
Date: 2021-03-18 17:26 (UTC)Why Should I Check This Out?: Many reasons! First, Harry Hamlin and Michael Ontkean are smoking hot, and the movie was a lot more... show-y than I expected for the 80s. Second, I thought everyone did a great job in their roles. Third, this is a surprisingly sensitive and positive portrayal of gay men for the time period. Fourth, Roberta Flack does the movie's theme song, Making Love, which is played during the closing credits and it is gorgeous! Fifth, if you search for it on YouTube, it's online for free (although the uploader cut out Roberta's song at the end).
Fun Extras: Harry Hamlin said that the movie put his career on ice for several years. He also claims that during the kissing scene, Michael Ontkean stuck his tongue down Harry's throat. Michael Ontkean tried to prevent clips from the movie from being used for 1996's The Celluloid Closet, a documentary about male homosexuality in film. He was unsuccessful.
