Spotlight on Fandoms [AKA: PImp Your Fandom!]
Hands up how many people own/read/have seen a book, DVD, or game that they would never ever have considered except for this game? *raises hand* I actually own a TON of stuff I never would have even looked at, simply because the characters in the game were just That Awesome.
Fandom Spotlight is your chance to get even more exposure for your fandom!
Given how many fandoms are represented in game, there's a good chance that at least half the people playing aren't familiar with yours. But the longer people play, the more that changes.
You innocently start playing with someone from a fandom you don't know and next thing you know you'reinfected intrigued. Unless you can get your hands on the source material, AND find time to devour it obsessively read/watch/play it, you'll only ever have that tiny taste.
Coming from the other side, it can be hard when only a handful of people in the game know your canon. If you want to do plot with those who don't, there can be a heck of a lot of infodumping, and it means you have the constant, naggging knowledge that there are people in the world who don't know how AWESOME your fandom is!
Spotlight on Fandom is way to change all that!
Each week, one or two players will get to pimp their fandom to the whole game. You can talk about any aspect you like: plot, your character, other characters you'd like to see in the game, the creators, history, future speculations. It can be as long as you like, from endless saga to brief overview.
These will be posted each Sunday, giving people a chance to squee, boggle, or ask lots of questions. One of the only provisos is that any major spoilers that haven't made it into the game: 1) Go behind a cut and 2) Be clearly labelled as such. If in doubt, cut and warn.
What we need from you
Volunteers! Sign up in this post if you want to do a Fandom Spotlight for your fandom (or fandoms, if you have more than one character).
If you share a fandom with another player/s, then there will need to be coordination between you to work out who will write/post what.
Here is a list of the fandoms which have already been done. There was another post in which people had voluntered to do a spotlight, but we're going to start fresh this year.
If you previously volunteered in the old post and you're still interested in doing a spotlight for your fandom, please sign up again in this post.
To make things easier for my poor brain, please volunteer from the journal of the character whose fandom you're signing up to do.
When do we need it?
Every Sunday, the all powerful RNG will be consulted to make the call as to which two fandoms from the list of volunteers will be selected for the following week. A post will go up announcing them (and if you absolutely can't make it that week, just let me know on the post).
Questions? Comments? Volunteers?
