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
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 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.

Title: Castlevania (Netflix) + Castlevania: Nocturne
Media: Animated Series (Netflix)
Approx length: 32 + 8 episodes (Nocturne season 2 will probably release in October/November)
Where to find it: On Netflix
What is it, in summary?
Castlevania on Netflix is a loose adaption of the game series by the same name. Vlad Dracula Tepes falls in love with a human woman - Lisa. But 20 years later, she gets burned as a witch, and Dracula swears to kill every last human on the world in revenge for it. Now his son, Adrian Tepes, also called Alucard, has to team up with the last surviving son of the Belmont family of monster hunters, as well as a speaker magician to fight Dracula and stop his genocide.
What do you love about it?
This show is queer as fuck, and for being a very gory horror series also wholesome. The best written character in the whole show is a gay, Black, muslim man. What else can I say? But yeah, while the original series does have some issues in the way it is written (season 4 is rushed thanks to a lot of behind the scenes drama), it is really very wholesome. But it also has a ton of really well written characters, who are just so insanely likeable.
Castlevania: Nocturne I love especially for the characters of color in it, that are actually allowed to be motivated by their anger about colonialism.
What sort of things are you likely to request for it?
By now I know that if the show had gotten more seasons, Hector and Isaac would have become an official couple at some point. The show did not get more seasons, so they never did. However: I love Hector and Isaac together. I love how their character arcs interact. I love Hector and Isaac together and as single characters. I just wanna read more about them.
For Nocturne I mostly just want Mizrak and Olrox. I don't care about the context. I just want more about them!
Are there sections of canon that can be consumed by themselves to fulfil your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?
For the aforementioned reasons: Sadly no. I am more interested in what is happening after the end of the canon.
Content notes:
Seasons 1-4: Gore, violence, murder, death (also death of children), religious motivated violence, a few mild examples of homophobia, slavery, also two back to back rape scenes in season 3 episode 9.
Nocturne: Gore, violence, murder, death, racism (again: Colonialism is the central theme here), slavers
