Now that nominations are done and sign-ups are just on the horizon, here's a post where you can advertise your fandoms to the rest of yuletide. Tell us about your fandom(s) and link to sources you think will help a new fan interested in checking it out or an old fan looking for canon refreshing. And if you're looking for new (or old but forgotten) fandoms

Comments: So, one common reaction to Elementary recently coming out was people going "pff why couldn't they have genderswapped Holmes too." This came up on tumblr, and somebody's response was "yeah that already happened in Russia in the eighties." This is true! It has a brilliant dry wit, a sharpshooting Shirley Holmes, dancing policemen, inexplicable dressage and Spanish serenading, and deduction exactly in the vein of Arthur Conan Doyle and the classic Holmes adaptations. Unfortunately the version on youtube has no subtitles, so I'm currently working on a translation at my tumblr. Hopefully it'll be done by the time assignments go out!

It's actually recently occurred to me that there might be a torrent out there of a subtitled version, but I'm half-way through so I don't want to check and feel silly :P

I've been working my way through the excellent 1970s Шерлок Холмс series with Василий Ливанов, but I had no idea there was also genderswapped Holmes! I will definitely watch this, and quite likely offer it.
