Canon Promo Post 2022
Sign-ups are ongoing. Meanwhile...
Please use this post to promote the fandoms you're interested in requesting, or ask for recommendations of canons that suit you!
Comment here with information about the canons you are thinking of requesting, or otherwise want to get people into!
Information you might include
Title
Please put your fandom's title in the subject of your comment. This helps people find your promo again.
Media
Approx length
Where to find it (If giving links, please only link to legal sources. You may want to encourage people to contact you directly if they are having trouble finding a canon and you can give them tips)
What is it, in summary?
What do you love about it?
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?
Are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?
Content warnings (ie, rape, incest, racism, gore/violence) - this is at your discretion and is not expected to be comprehensive
Some examples: Yuletide, Fandom5k, previous fffx posts.
Please keep an eye on comments, as people may have follow-up questions about your canons.
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 interactive fiction."
If asking for recs, consider letting people know if you're interested in specific media only, or have other restrictions.

Media: Anime. (I've nominated this version because it might be easier to get into, but it's faithfully translated from the manga. If preferred, I can help you find that as well!)
Approx length: 35 anime episodes in 2 seasons (~12 hours?)
Where to find it: Crunchyroll
What is it, in summary? You know how sports anime use sports as a plot device/goal/conflict that they can then build all their character development around? And likewise for cooking anime, card game anime, etc? This is like that... but with SCIENCE! The main character wakes up in a post-apocalyptic future, and sets out to use his scientific know-how to rebuild all of civilization from scratch.
What do you love about it? The science bits are clearly explained and feel educational (?). The main character is a larger-than-life genius who acts like he only cares about Science and Rationality but secretly wants to help everyone (my favorite trope!). The plot moves rapidly and goes in unexpected directions.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it? I'm planning to request fic or art about some characters that come into conflict in season 2.
Content Warnings: I can't think of anything major, but if you have concerns about any particular squicks, feel free to ask!
