bethefirstHave you already decided what fandom(s) to write for? If so, how about doing a little promoting? :D
We've all chosen tiny obscure canons, needless to say. But by posting here 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 a TV series? Talk about why you love your favorite character and/or pairing from your fandom? It's all good; anything goes!

It's a parallel-universe thriller: there are certain magical objects that people can touch at certain times to jump into a nearby parallel universe. But once you're there, there's no going back. So there's a villain who keeps jumping in the hopes of hunting down a woman who (in some universes) is an up-and-coming actress, and who (in every universe) he's creepily obsessed with. A journalist finds out about it and starts moving to follow him.
I like the book because the "rules" of universe travel are restrictive enough that you can't necessarily do everything you want, which means it doesn't break plausibility with "why don't they just do X." The characters felt more interesting than "The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August," a book with a similar-sounding premise about time loops. And this one is definitely about feminism/misogyny without coming off as overly preachy, in my view.
