Asking for recs
You're also welcome to leave comments (anon or not) asking people to rec you canons that they are likely to request.
For example: "Please tell me about canons for which you'd be excited to receive a Choose Your Own Adventure story."
Consider letting people know if you're interested in specific media only, or have other restrictions.
Foyle's War
Media: TV!
Approx length: Several seasons? This specific episode, like 45 minutes? An hour, maybe?
Where to find it: Right now, only Acorn.tv (but let me know if you're interested; I can hook you up.
What is it, in summary? British WWII murder mystery show.
What do you love about it? It's a very cozy show for something that delves into wartime topics and such.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it? Happy endings for one specific character. OK, so, Rex is in LITERALLY ONE episode in which we learn three things: He's handsome, he's in love with lead-Foyle's son, and War Causes Loss.
That's basically the episode in a nutshell. His part is there for about 20-30 minutes tops in the whole episode (because there's lots of cutting to other threads going on at once). But maaaaaan, I just have a THING for sad queer boys and their longed-for best friends. I just want him to LIVE!
Are there sections of canon that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests? Literally his only episode, "Among the Few".
Content warnings: "Period-typical" homophobia (thankfully not from our main character), internalized homophobia, uh, insulting the Irish??? (but really, who cares about that last one? /Irish), and major character death.
