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 for the movie PCU. PCU is a 1994 comedy film about the main character, Tom Lawrence, visiting Port Chester University for the first time, and seeing all the wackiness of the campus, from the liberal causeheads, to partiers The Pit, and to the conservative Balls and Shaft.
Rand McPherson, the main villain of the story, is the head of said conservative, outlawed fraternity Balls and Shaft.
As mentioned by his actor in behind-the-scenes interviews, Rand is a business major but doesn’t necessarily need to go to PCU as he is the heir to a Fortune 500 company.
Another hint at his backstory in the movie, is that during Droz’s, one of The Pit members, flashbacks, he was seen as being Droz’s roommate previously. It is implied Droz is one of the reasons Rand hates The Pit so much, besides it being against his conservative values, Droz treated Rand horribly as a roommate.
One of my favorite ships, whether romantic or platonic, is Tom and Rand. Tom’s an antithesis to Rand. Tom, like Rand, is also preppy, but unlike Rand, is sweet and wants to genuinely be nice to people, if a bit clumsy at times. Rand sees Tom as being a possible Balls and Shaft member, but ultimately Tom, after choosing to go to PCU, is implied to be joining The Pit when he comes to college.
