bethefirstThis 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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giants_series
Frenua Showm is a Ganymean administrator who first appears in book 3 of the series, Giant's Star. She displays a persistent distrust of Earth people even after her fellow administrators are convinced that Earth people are not a danger to Ganymeans, but gradually warms up to them due to developing a friendship with Karen Heller. This ficlet examines Frenua's thoughts leading up to the start of the friendship.
Karen Heller is an Earth diplomat, who also first appears in Giant's Star.
Garuth and Shilohin first appear in book 2 of the series, The Gentle Giants Of Ganymede. They are the Captain and Science Officer of the Shapeiron, a Ganymean research spaceship which, due to a mishap of the engines, arrived in the Solar System to find their home planet destroyed and a thriving civilization on Earth. As a result they have had extensive friendly experiences with Earth people and are quite upset that some Ganymeans, Frenua in particular are unwilling to take their word for the trustworthiness of Earth in general and their friends in the Earth delegation to the Giant's Star in particular.
