Fandom/Relationship Promo Post

[candyheartsex]

If you want to promote your fandom or the relationships you want to request/create for, this post is for you!

How you write your your recommendations, enthusiastic squeeing, or manifestos is up to you, but please put the name of your canon in the subject line of your comment. Here--with liberal borrowing from Yuletide's promo setup--are some other things you may want to include:

• Title
  
• Medium (e.g., Book Series, Podcast, TV Show, etc.)
  
• Approximate Length (e.g., page count, runtime, etc. This is also a good place to mention if only a specific installment of the canon is relevant to the relationship(s) you're requesting.)
  
• Where to (Legally) Find It
  
• Brief Description
  
• What You Love About the Canon
  
• What You Love About Your Ship(s)
  
• Kinds of Things You're Planning to Ask For
  
• Content Notes (e.g., incest, period-typical attitudes, noncon, torture, etc. These notes are optional and may not cover everything even if they're included.)
  

Please post a separate comment for each promo you do, so the canon title can always be highlighted in the subject line.

Solstice (MoaCube)

[smiles_edgeworth]

Title: Solstice

Medium: Visual novel (for PC)

Approximate length: 4½ hours for the main story according to How Long to Beat, 7½ hours for main + side stories.

This is the kind of visual novel that makes you want to try different routes; however, this is not necessary to write my ship (M/M between a main character and his canon love interest). It's fine if you only finish the main story once! Suggestion: after your first play, you can use CTRL to skip fast the dialogue you already saw; this way you'll be able to see different routes without replaying the entire game. If you have time and you like the story, I'd recommend to do it!

Where to find it: On Steam. There's also a shop on the official site.
A few Let's Plays are available on YouTube.

Brief Description. A mystery story in a dystopian/fantasy setting where a group of characters spend the entire winter in a city inside a dome in the middle of a frozen wasteland. There are two main characters and you play as both: Yani (the girl in the first picture) and Galen (the guy on the left in the second picture).




Each main character has their own optional love interest, and they're men in both cases, so F/M for Yani and M/M for Galen (the ship in the second picture that I'm going to request). They can also become friends with each other and work together.

There are a lot of choices that will unlock multiple endings. In the same ending, the fate of the characters can also be different depending on other minor choices (for example, a character can survive as single, with their love interest, etc.)

Every character is morally gray in some way. They also all have secrets that you have to find out.

What You Love About the Canon. First of all, the art is stunning! I also love the diverse group of characters and the way they feel real when it comes to their motivations and the way they act in general. They're also all adults with different ages and backgrounds, just the way I like. I love that Galen and Kasiya are gay no matter what you choose to do about their relationship. There are also great female characters and interesting platonic interactions.

What You Love About Your Ship. Well, first of all, I love that Galen/Kasiya is canon! I love that they can kiss on-screen and it's implied they have sex. Both characters have dark secrets and plot twists related to them, so their relationship has so much potential that can be explored in fics! They also have different origins and backstories; Galen is a doctor/magician and Kasiya is a guard/ex mercenary, and it's just good to imagine how they would be in a serious relationship. Also, sometimes they call each other "Doctor" and "Captain", and let's just say that I am very much into that :D

Kinds of Things You're Planning to Ask For. Missing moments and post-canon! Honestly, this ship is so tiny that I'm not really picky, as long as they have a happy ending together. There are a lot of things we don't know about them, and I'd just love more! I'm fine with any rating, and smut is welcome!

Content Notes. Some general warnings about the canon: characters unsympathetic about mental health issues, hallucinations, self-harm, suicide, (optional) main character getting high on magical drugs.
