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 writing a short story for the indie game Eastshade. It's a soothing, peaceful experience with stunning visuals, a lot of exploration, great music, some puzzles and RPG and just so much "good feels"; it got me through some dark times during Covid. Basically, you're a painter who comes to the island of Eastshade to fulfill your mother's deathbed wish and paint some sceneries. And so you explore, meet people, paint whatever catches your fancy, drink teas, listen to stories, listen to music, paint some more, help people, admire the countryside, solve a mystery, drink more teas and then paint again, and don't pick this one plant because it's endangered! One of the most "Eastshade" things is a conversation you have with a blacksmith early-ish in the game - she'll sell you a kettle and a zip trolley but not a sword because they just don't do that there and why would you want to stab someone anyway? Not that there aren't conflicts or that all the people are nice - some are flat out jerks; they're people after all. It also has a small but positive LGBT subplot and I'm in love with it.

That sounds like such a good game, and very much my cup of tea, thanks for describing it so well! I'm adding it to my waitlist, seems like I just missed a steam sale.

You're welcome and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)
