Canon Promo

[aat_mod]

We had a lot of recs for the Festival of Very Short Canons, but of course lots of us have canons longer than 45 minutes that we'd like to recomment! This is a post for doing that—you can promote any canon that you'd like to request or offer for AAT and let us know why it's great and why we should consider consuming it and requesting or creating for it!

What to put in your promo

• Fandom name: Also make this the title of your comment below. If you're promoing a certain ship or section of your fandom, include it after your fandom name.
• Media type: What kind of thing is it?
• Length: How long does it take to consume the canon?
• Where can it be found? (Only legal links for this, please.)
• What is it/what is it about?
• What do you love about it? Also, what are you planning to request for it?/What do you want to create for it?
• If it's a big/complex/long/scattered fandom, where should people start? Also, are there sections of canon (rather than the whole canon) that can be consumed by themselves to fulfill your requests, or that showcase particular characters and relationships?
• Do you have any content warnings? These are at your discretion and don't need to be comprehensive. Some content "warnings" might also help attract people who deliberately look for that kind of thing!

FFXIV Astrologian Questline

[graiai]

Fandom name: Final Fantasy XIV (but I'm mostly trying to bait you into caring about one specific questline)

Media type: PC/Playstation/Xbox game, OR a text LP style dreamwidth post series (script, screenshots/GIFs, commentary)

Length: The whole game? 1000+ hours. For our purposes, 59,800 words across two dreamwidth posts.

Where can it be found? (Only legal links for this, please.) My dreamwidth! Alternately, here's someone's video LP on youtube, or if you're really dedicated, all but two quests from my writeup (Lv. 80 Love, Astrologically, and Lv. 80 A Literary Delivery) are included in the free trial, but you do have to complete the first expansion's Main Story Quests (Lv 1-50) in order to unlock this questline.

What is it/what is it about? A buddy comedy of, ah, astronomical proportions. A young woman who calls upon the stars to see the future and magically heal wounds follows in her dead father's footsteps to bring her field of study to the wartorn country that had his heart. There, she meets a hapless and infamously frivolous nobleman who has allegedly devoted his life to the same cause and failed utterly. Forced by circumstances to work together, they discover the stars may have just aligned to bring them together.

What do you love about it? Everything. The characters are incredibly charming, the story balances a funny and lighthearted tone with incredibly tragic circumstances, and my little shipper heart is utterly taken with the protagonists as well as a tragic backstory ship.

Where should people start? Right here! No knowledge of FFXIV necessary, and I will so, so gladly answer any questions you might have.

Do you have any content warnings? Death of a loved one; war; familial abuse; a few mentions of human trafficking in the context of piracy.
