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 going to write a fic for Tale of a Vampire (1992). I was shocked there's no fic for it - I checked the archive and even around the web and couldn't find a darn thing.

It's a tragic romance about a centuries-old vampire named Alex who's obsessed with the innocent Virginia, the woman whom he loved and lost centuries ago after turning her. Alone and unable to die, Alex spends his nights in modern London doing heavy research in a rare book room, occasionally feeding off of criminals and stray animals in the alleyways on his route home. At the library, he meets a new librarian named Anne, who has also lost a lover tragically and who heavily resembles Virginia. Anne, however, is sexually forward and cynical where Virginia was innocent and romantic. Alex struggles with his blooming feelings for Anne, and all the while they're both stalked by the mysterious-at-least-to-Anne Edgar, who may be manipulating things from behind the scenes.

It's available for rent and purchase at Prime Video, and there is a bootleg up in the Usual Sources. Am I giving them the happy ending they deserve, Supremely Heavy Poe References be Damned? Yes I am.
