Fandom Promos

[galerian_ash]

Have 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!

If I can pull enough of a plot together to make it a proper mystery, I plan on doing some casefic for Robert Barnard’s Mr Mozart series (“http://www.uchronia.net/label/barnmozart.html”), a couple of alt history novels where the Mozart family moves to London during the 1760s and Wolfgang lives into his eighties as a grumpy hack theatre composer and accompanist (and eventual music teacher to a young Victoria), lamenting the successes he obviously would have had back in Salzburg and Vienna and getting dragged into murder mysteries and political intrigue by various patrons. There are hints at unwritten mysteries (and loads of imaginary operas) throughout, and I’ve long wished it was a lengthy mystery series and not so clearly a joke Barnard came up with after watching Amadeus.

Right now, my fic idea will likely pick up on some of the mentions of Mr Mozart’s disappointing trips to the Continent prior to the events of Dead, Mr Mozart. I’m thinking either something where he somehow gets attached to the British delegation to the Congress of Vienna and winds up in a kind of bickering composer-detective thing with Salieri involving French spies or a visit to Salzburg where Nannerl winds up solving the mystery.
