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!

Revenge 1990

[tildytwo]

I think I'm going to write about the 1990 Kevin Costner movie Revenge. It's a pretty generic movie about a Navy aviator who has an ill-advised affair with the wife of his friend, a Mexican crime boss played by Anthony Quinn. In retaliation, the crime boss cuts up his wife, dumps her in a brothel, and beats and leaves the pilot for dead. The rest of the movie is just the pilot recovering and scheming revenge and trying to find the crime boss' wife.



Anyway, who cares about that when there is a side character played by Miguel Ferrer for me to project on?



Literally, that's the only reason I sat through this movie, which was otherwise kind of gratuitously boring (however they managed that, I couldn't say). Ferrer's character, Amador, is motivated by his sister's death, which was caused (directly or indirectly; the film never makes it clear) by the crime boss. He and his friend Ignacio meet Kevin Costner's character and offer their help in avenging Costner and finding his ladyfriend. Then I write fanfiction about Amador's relationship with his sister and his being secretly gay because, like I said, I'm projecting here. Should be fun!
