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.

Date: 2022-08-13 01:42 am (UTC)It can be lots of different things, but there's always some form of reader choice or interaction! Some forms of interactive fiction that you may familiar with include Choose Your Own Adventure novels, text-based adventure games, and visual/sound novels. I will likely either be doing CYOA hosted on ao3 or a choice-based game made with Twine.
Here's a recent example of a Twine game written for an exchange that includes multiple choices/routes/endings:

And here's a CYOA fic written for Heart Attack last year:
