bethefirstHave 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!

Imagine what it did to its architects, and what one of them would do to save it.
Imagine Mister X.
(Psychoactive architecture, pulp sci-fi, stark expressionism... it has everything except, it looks like, fanfic.)(But if you know of one let me know, my search-fu feels flaky today.)

Date: 2023-09-07 07:17 (UTC)Rose/House is a short book by Arkady Martine about an AI named Rose who is a (haunted) house and the woman who her owner leaves her to (who doesn't want to inherit her), and the detective investigating the mysterious death there that the house AI reported to her only because there was a law that AIs have to report mysterious deaths in a specific time frame. It's more a ghost story than a murder mystery, but it's both. It's also science fiction.

Date: 2023-09-12 15:45 (UTC)Boys (1996)
Date: 2023-09-14 03:43 (UTC)This ship was started due to me finding a forum post IIRC calling Phillips "so gay" for Baker, and it just spun off from there.
Boys (1996) is probably most known for being "Winona Ryder's Worst Movie" (according to some people I saw on the internet).
Phillips was so *jealous* of Baker's girlfriend,Patty (played by Winona Ryder) and considered himself Baker's best friend. He so desperately wanted Baker's attention, you can read it as a crush!

Date: 2023-09-17 05:42 (UTC)It's a supernatural horror story that reimagines some tropes in Malaysian fiction wrt ghost stories, Chinese families, and mixes all of that with nice humour. It's about cranky grandmas and supernatural shifts (complimentary) and generational baggage that manages to be somewhat honest and refreshing about it, and if you think that might be your jam it's a good read.

Date: 2023-09-19 22:23 (UTC)Muerte en Buenos Aires / Death in Buenos Aires
Date: 2023-09-19 23:00 (UTC)In 1989 Buenos Aires - where chronic, casual corruption is the norm - a wealthy gay man is murdered, and Detective Chavez of the federal police Homicide unit gets the case. The victim's family wants no press or scandal - the victim and his lover were into BDSM. Chavez - jaded and cynical straight, married father of a young son - decides to use the rookie uniform cop, who was first on the scene, in the investigation. What he doesn't expect is his growing attraction to his young protégé - who is learning fast.
Here's the original trailer. I don't know if I can embed it, but I'll give it a shot:
This film is so gorgeously shot and the chemistry between the two leads so obvious, that it's easy to miss the hints and clues sprinkled throughout that foreshadow the shocking ending. I had already seen it numerous times (I own both the Blu-Ray and a digital copy), but I probably rewatched another 15 times while writing my fic -- and yet I still noticed things I had never noticed before! It really bears repeat viewing... or else the ability to not be distracted by the shiny, pretty, sexy.
