Fandom Promos

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

This post is a place for you to promote your chosen fandom. By pimping it you may be able to convince 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 a TV series? Talk about why you love your favorite character/pairing from your fandom? Anything goes!

Most importantly, please don't be shy. I'm really excited to see what everyone will be writing for, and — if at all possible — I'll do my best to check out your fandoms. And I'm sure I'm not the only one! So go for it :Db

I'm writing a fic for a Japanese movie called Bokutachi No Kougen Hoteru (Our Kogen Hotel). It's a quiet little film with some adorable characters and sweet moments.

For fans of Japanese media, it has an extremely amusing cast. The two leads are the same actors who play lovers in the last four Takumi-kun movies and also acted together in the live-action Prince of Tennis musical. In addition, Watanabe Daisuke was also one of the heroes in Ultraman Mebius and Hamao Kyousuke was Gosei Black in Tensou Sentai Goseigers.

One of the supporting actors has been in, well, about half the Kamen Rider or Super Sentai series as a supporting actor or guest star. (Mr. Yokky from Abaranger! The cooking monster in Gaoranger! The ramen guy in Agito! A dad in Blade! Etc. and so on.)

Bokutachi No Kougen Hoteru is definitely not Kamen Rider or Super Sentai, but I found it almost unbearably adorable with just a hint of mystery. Why is Aizawa such a recluse? What happened to his grandfather? Why has Sawashiro come to the hotel and what is he hiding?

The best thing about the movie, though, is really the adorableness of the entire ensemble cast: the cranky chef, the caring woman who delivers flowers, the guys at the front desk, the new manager, the two cleaning staff...everyone has their own connection to the hotel and each other.
