Fandom Promos

[galerian-ash.livejournal.com]

Hi everyone, how's it going? Have you decided what fandom(s) to write for yet? If so, how about doing some pimping? :D

We've all chosen tiny obscure fandoms, needless to say. So by doing a little promoting you might be able to convince 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 a TV series? Talk about why you love your favorite character/pairing from your fandom? It's all good; anything goes!

No takers yet?

About a year ago I became a fan of Sean Pertwee, first seeing him as Alfred Pennyworth in "Gotham". When looking him up on youtube, I stumbled about a short lived British TV series from 1996 called "Bodyguards". There are only 7 episodes, here is the link to the pilot, the others should turn up at the side then: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhKKY4SlLlI

It's a nice little series about bodyguards, as the title says, a new team set up, so they are still learning, and about the different people they have to protect, and I think you learn a thing or two about actually bodygard work, which may not be as glamorous as they show it in movies, especially when it affects their own families. Sean actually had SAS training for this role, which he still can use to this day for doing his stunts, and it's always great when an actor knows how to handle a gun convincingly.

I remember it was midnight when I found this, yet I couldn't stop watching, as I was mesmerized. One of those shows that makes me forgot to breathe. Especially episode 7 when they are in the countryside instead of the streets of London, and have to use all their knowledge to stay alive and ahead of their pursuers. I would have loved to watch more of it, or read any fanfiction, but alas...

That sounds pretty good! I have a couple of fandoms I love that are about bodyguards, so I'm all for discovering another one. That final episode sounds especially exciting -- it's always interesting to see the characters in new surroundings, isn't it?

Thanks for the rec, I'll be sure to check it out!

Just posted my story! Have you started to watch already? How do you like it?
My story is about the third episode, so it might be best to watch it first to make sense. There's also mentioning of something that happens in episode 2 and involves Ian's own family.

I had watched the first two episodes and then in a comment read how someone loved the seventh, so I jumped straight ahead as I couldn't wait to see the countryside one. It also reminded me of a similar MacGyver episode that is set in the woods. It's indeed fascinating to see them in a bit of fish out of water way, even though they still act very professional.

I love especially the scene at the end when they think they are going to die. Any other series would have had the female bursting into tears and the "hero" comfort her, but here it is Worrell almost losing it. Sean is so good at playing emotions.

Please let me know how you like it!

Good job!

I'm afraid I haven't been able to check out the series yet -- RL has been a mess lately. I haven't even managed to write anything for the challenge myself :(

But it's still on my to-watch list, and I won't forget about it. I'm sure your fic can be a good intro!

Thanks for the rec! Can't promise any fic, but it's certainly keeping my attention!

Not sure if you see this comment, but I hope you like the series! My fic is about episode 3.
