The Small Fandom and Rare Pairing/Rarely-Written Character Promote-a-thon!

Welcome to the Small Fandom and Rare Pairing/Rarely-Written Character Promote-a-thon!

You know the glow of, "I never knew I needed fic for that, but now I do and there it is and this is awesome!" you get from Yuletide? Or the sweet, sweet triumph of finally finding something for that insanely rare pairing on page fifty-four of the Google results for their names?

This meme aims to amplify that, and, for writers/vidders/artists, take away that sad, lonely feeling you get when you realize there's nowhere to post your creation for a tiny fandom besides your own journal.

Here's How This Is Gonna Work
Comment here with links to any rare fandoms/characters/pairings you've created stuff for and want to pimp! This is not just for fanfic; vids, art, even, I don't know, embroidery or cake decorating or things like that are welcome. If you made it and it's rare, link to it.

As a general guideline for "rare," I would say something is rare if there are fewer than 50ish works out on the intarwebs, but I don't want to be the police here, so use your best judgment. If it's something you've hunted for to the bitter end of a search engine's results, or you've read everything three times now, go for it. Long or short, old or new, G or NC-17, single fandom or crossover, all are welcome.

Though this meme emphasizes works that haven't been posted all over or received a lot of attention, if you want to promote a Yuletide fic you wrote or something similar, that's perfectly fine.

And if you find that fic or vid or art of your dreams, I also encourage you to give the creator some feedback!

Requests
Requests for rare things you'd like to see are welcome too! If you're dying for, say, The Phantom Tollbooth fic and don't know where to find it, comment with "Request: The Phantom Tollbooth" in your subject line.

Promotion!
Please link to this meme! I would love to see as many tiny fandoms and rarepairs/rarely-written characters on here as possible. And come on, you know you're hoping this reaches that one person who wrote fic for that Squonk Opera show you saw years ago.

Blow-Up (1966)

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say I've posted more Blow-Up slash than anyone else on the internet. These are not co-canonical.

The Corridor People

I also suspect I've written more The Corridor People (http://aris-tgd.dreamwidth.org/36611.html) fic than anyone else on the internet, but I can't prove it. Victim as Eromenos (http://archiveofourown.org/works/57199). Written for the "fucking machines" prompt for Kink Bingo 2009. (Notice how many of these are for kink bingo? I'm like the tiny fandom ambassador of kink.)

The Pentagon Wars

Being a TV movie based on a nonfiction memoir about the testing of the Bradley Fighting Vehicle.

Flying Free (http://archiveofourown.org/works/59683). Written for Livia.
