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 just finished a little piece based on The Caine Mutiny novel. It's basically the story of a spoiled rich boy who joins the Navy and witnesses the events leading up to a mutiny on a destroyer-minesweeper during a typhoon in WWII. There was a great movie made starring Humphrey Bogart, Fred MacMurray, and Jose Ferrer, but my piece is based around the final chapters, which to my recollection didn't make it into the movie.

Incidentally, there're no fics for the book or movie version of The Caine Mutiny, but there were two non-English fics for the play version. I didn't even think to check for that--is that still okay?

That's perfectly okay! For starters, non-English fics don't count at all; and secondly, different versions/adaptions of a canon are all seen as different (so even if there had been English fics for the play it wouldn't matter since you're writing for the book). Come to think of it, I don't think I properly mention that second bit in the FAQ, so thank you for reminding me! I'll edit it in ASAP!
