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!

Race the Sands

[primeideal]

"Race the Sands," by Sarah Beth Durst, is a fantasy novel set in the empire of Becar. It's about changing your fate, monster racing, and reincarnation. I think it's very well-crafted, in the sense of, the writer took a relatively straightforward concept (souls are reborn as various humans or animals depending on their previous lives; "augurs" can read the status of someone's soul and determine whether they're on track for a good rebirth), and extrapolated it out to a lot of fascinating worldbuilding (how does someone become an augur? What happens to the most "monstrous" souls? How does the political system relate to this?) Longer review here.
