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'm not sure these both (or either) will be finished by the time Be The First ends, but I'm writing a fic for the Avery Cates series by Jeff Somers, and for the War Dogs trilogy by Greg Bear.

Promo 1: Avery Cates, a killer for hire, accidentally-on-purpose becomes the most wanted man in the world in a post-apocalyptic, cyberpunk New York where you're either a cop or a criminal, a wealthy businessman or a beggar. The only reason he's survived this long is by being smart and not trusting anyone. You might like these books if you like asshole antihero protagonists, gratuitous violence, and grimy, dirty cyberpunk.

Promo 2: MSgt Michael Venn and his company are deployed to Mars, where they're fighting the Antagonists, a mysterious alien race bent on... something. All they know is that the Gurus, the hyperadvanced alien species that came to Earth a few years ago in order to give them tech to help them fight the Antags, are doing what they can to help humanity survive. (Or are they?) Venn's company is shot down before they can make landfall, and meet one of the early human settlers of Mars, Teal, who helps Venn and a few friends survive, but her help comes with a heavy pricetag that none of them -- Teal included -- know.
