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!

I didn't manage more than one fic last year, due to all the other exchanges, and I'm not holding my breath this time either about being very prolific, but I'd like to try again for fic based on Morning Departure - a 1950 British submarine film. Here's a promo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ObbzXRonoGs

This is the plot: On a routine peacetime mission, the crew of HM Submarine Trojan runs afoul of an electrically operated mine, leftover from the war. An unavoidable explosion sends the ship plunging to the seabed.

It's a pretty dramatic, but oddly cosy, film with some lovely pairing possibilities.



Or I might actually try and write the first fic in a fandom I keep on requesting in exchanges: Count Dracula (TV 1977). This is my all-time favourite adaption of Dracula, and the casting of Mina and Van Helsing in particular is just wonderful. This is the ONLY het pairing I like, and I suppose I should just write it instead of requesting it. :)

Oh, and this adaption is online: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96OIILetaho

These both look great! I'll definitely be checking them out.
