Fandom Promos
2022-03-06 13:22Have 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!

Date: 2022-03-13 07:13 (UTC)I haven't fully decided yet, but I'm strongly considering Kukelokuti (Rooster Wattle). It's a short novel (novella? novelette?) about a linguistics student in 1990s Estonia, dealing with her PTSD. I hated the ending from the moment I realised what the foreshadowing pointed at (she drowned herself), and immediately concocted a version in my head where she survived, kicked the heck out of her assaulter, and also fell in love with her girl best friend. So that's one way. But I'm also nut sure how well writing it in English would work. Since she's a linguistics student, a lot of the way she thinks, how she narrates, is embedded with Estonian language puns and cultural things, and, god, the Wiedemann! How does one translate the absolute obscurity of Wiedemann's words?
... do board games count? I've always imagined the princess and the countess in Love Letter are girlfriends. (Also the captain and the contessa in Coup, but Coup does have one fic, so that's out.)
