Fandoms Promotion Post
Jan. 19th, 2012 10:49 pmNominations are just around the corner (in April, but it takes time to review canons) and if you'd like to promote your fandoms in order to entice fellow participants to offer/request, this is the place to do it.
Please keep discussions of each fandom in separate comments with the subject of it as that fandom. Please also put in the subject warning for common triggers (in the canon and especially anything that is in your comment).
Our guidelines for a medium sized fandom is a) a fandom that isn't listed on the recent Yuletide nomination list (or Signup Summary) and b) isn't a fandom with over 20,000 fics available (megafandom list on LJ and on DW). RPF is allowed within Not Prime Time and is the only exception to the requirement of "a fandom that isn’t listed on the current Yuletide nominations list" though we ask that participants keep to the spirit of the exchange and do not nominate/request very rare RPF. It is still held to the megafandoms requirement, however.

Soul Eater (underage characters, gore, body horror, mental illness)
Date: 2012-02-27 01:24 am (UTC)THIS SERIES! It's like someone combined Harry Potter, The Nightmare Before Christmas and freakin' H.P. Lovecraft. The Grim Reaper runs a school for people who turn into weapons and their wielders ("meisters") There are mad gods whose disabilities are taken seriously (some more seriously than others, but still.) The holy sword Excalibur is an eldritch abomination so obnoxious that it enrages everyone it comes into contact with. (King Arthur's a hero because he could tolerate it.)
The manga is 95 chapters (so far) and there's a 51-episode anime. (Funimation has it available for free on YouTube, their website, etc.)
