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 crossover for the Octicorn picture books by Kevin Diller and the Nerdycorn picture book by Andrew Root. Coincidentally, both are unicorn-themed and deal with protagonists who are considered weird and don't fit in: Octicorn because he's half-octopus and half-unicorn, and Fern because she is a science nerd. Both books promote the message that it's okay to be different and be true to yourself, and I thought that both Octicorn and Fern (Nerdycorn) could use a friend who understands what it's like to be left out by the in-crowd.

Hello, My Name Is Octicorn and Nerdycorn are both available in ebook and print format; the second Octicorn book (Octicorn Party) is only available in print. You may be able to find them at your local library, and if not, there are plenty of storytime reading videos available for the books on YouTube. Here are a few links:
