Prompt 3: Canon Recommendations

As the [community profile] sunshine_challenge continues, we invite everyone to share with others the books, movies, series, or other media that they love. What canons should really have more fans? Remember that there is no official deadline, so feel free to join in at any time or go back and do any prompts you've missed!



Most of us here have at least one movie/book/tv series/comic book/and more that speaks to us on a special level. Here is your opportunity to wax poetic on those things!

We want to hear what new canons to investigate. Tell us why that thing is cool. Tell us why you enjoy it so much. Tell us where to start if we want to get into it too (and how to find it if it’s not something mainstream that’s easy to find everywhere). It can be difficult to find fandom friends with shared interests sometimes, but this is your chance to cultivate a shared interest!



Once you’ve finished sharing your squee, leave a comment to this post saying you’ve done it! Include a link to your pages if you feel comfortable doing so. Let everyone know whether you are "Ready for visitors!" or "Lurking for fandom fun".

Most importantly, please check through the comments and go visit new journals, comment on their shiny posts, and maybe make a new friend or two. We encourage everyone to aim to comment on two new journals if they are able (of course, you are welcome to do more!). ♥

Wow, by sheer coincidence I just made EXACTLY this kind of post yesterday! :D

If you're interested in a quirky, but occasionally surprisingly serious game/anime series about idol boys, or just want a new fandom with a gigantic cast (almost 40 main characters and counting) and mind-boggling shipping possibilities, please come right over here and learn about Ensemble Stars!

I've made a masterpost page for this prompt that I plan to keep adding to. So far I have typed up a squee-post for Alien Nation as well as linking to a recent post about The 10th Kingdom, but I plan to add posts about several more.

I think we could do a challenge of nothing but "share your squee" prompts and I'd be able to do a new one every day for a month.

I think you've officially convinced me I should check out Alien Nation! It sounds awesome.

The link to the 10th Kingdom post doesn't seem to be working for me? (It is possible that's an issue on my end, though.)

The Adventure Zone kind of confuses me. Do they eventually end up telling an actual story? Someone recommended this ages ago and I tried to listen, but… I was kind of mystified by the premise of just listening to people chat about a game.
