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 hoping to write for Kristin Lavransdatter, which is an 1100-page historical fiction novel in 1300s Norway, featuring a lot of very earnest Catholicism, praying to the saints, and so on. Everyone uses patronymics so it's literally about Kristin, the daughter of Lavrans.

Light spoilers: Lavrans and Anders set up an arranged marriage for their children, Kristin and Simon. But Kristin loves Erlend (and is also having sex with him), so she gets out of it. Simon's attitude is like "ugh, fine, but at least you have to tell your father that it's your fault the wedding is off, because the One Thing I can't handle is having Lavrans think I'm a flake." Later he marries Lavrans' younger daughter, Ramborg. Now I'm not saying everything is about sublimated sexual repression and religious guilt, that would be boring, sometimes characters can just be conventionally religious without it being a whole thing. BUT if you are inclined to read through slashy goggles, Simon's hero-worship of his father-in-law is definitely...A Thing. Anyway, time permitting, that's what I'll be writing about. >.>

Ooh. I am someone who can usually be counted on read through those kinds of goggles.
