Canon Promo Post 2024
Sign-ups will start soon - tag set corrections continue. Meanwhile...
Please use this post to promote the fandoms you plan to request, or ask for recommendations of canons that suit you! FFFX is a long-haul exchange - someone might not have time to get into your canon before sign-ups close, but they definitely have time to check it out over the course of the exchange overall.
Information you might include

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 notes (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.

Hellblazer: Rise and Fall (DC Black Label)
Media: Comic
Approximate Length: A three-issue miniseries
What It's About
A standalone story in the wider Hellblazer series, Hellblazer: Rise and Fall sees occult detective John Constantine teaming up with Satan himself to investigate when some of the wealthiest people in the world begin falling from the sky with angel wings attached to their backs.
Why does Satan, aka the First of the Fallen, care about a couple of dead oligarchs? Because it's his own stolen wings that are involved in their deaths. Together, he and John get their buddy cop flirt on as they pursue the case back to its roots in an early experience with dark magic in John's childhood and try to set things right.
Where to Find It
The three individual issues and trade paperback collections are available in print and digitally where comics are sold. Information about the trade paperbacks is available on the DC website: Hellblazer: Rise and Fall
What I Love About It
It's the one where John Constantine and Satan make out. I'm not going to lie, that's the main attraction—or rather, John and Satan getting to have a good time together is. This is one of Hellblazer's lighter outings, still dark in content but much less harrowing in tone than some of the series' previous iterations of the same topics, and it's overall a fun little horror adventure with former enemies working together and enjoying each other's company.
I'm Requesting
John Constantine/First of the Fallen, thanks to scenes like the following.
Satan surprising John in bed
(And turning out to be trolling him)
Satan keeping his horns visible for John's benefit
"My hero"
Meeting John's abusive father.
Threatening John's abusive father.
"Go get him, tiger"
Kissing in the men's room
Content Warnings
While this is milder in tone than some Hellblazer arcs, it is still very much a horror comic and contains graphic violence, supporting character death, death of a child, and psychological terror, as well as touching on more grounded dark issues such as child abuse and death in childbirth.
