Our latest challenge is to pick up a fandom, and while you can already find several fandoms via our fandom promo tag, more is good, yes?
So, here's an extra place to share some of the historical fandoms we love! Our definition is fairly wide and includes things that may contain supernatural elements, contemporary material that is now historical, RPF and fiction, and our cut-off date is fifty years ago (1970). Fandoms may be as obscure (or not) as you wish. (Please - no bashing of anyone or their fandoms in this post.)
Here's a template to use, with c+p text below in the box:

"El Ministerio del Tiempo" promo post!
Date: 2020-06-28 05:37 pm (UTC)Historical Period: All over the past timeline of Spanish history!
Content Notes/Warnings: Some violence, guns, blood, but nothing overly explicit.
What it is/what’s so great about it: "El Ministerio del Tiempo" is a Spanish series about time travelling to the past, in order to protect the present and the future. "The ministry" is a secret organisation set in the present day, that protects and repairs the timeline of Spain's history from intruders who might want to modify it for their own agenda. The time travelling is done via "time doors", and the Ministry's agents are recruited from different time periods to work together. The series follows the team led by Amelia (a female university student from the 19th century), who is joined by Alonso (a soldier from the 16th century Army of Flanders), Julián (a paramedic from the 21st century) and later Pacino (a police officer from the 1980s). Their adventures take them all over the history of Spain, meeting historical figures like Lope de Vega, Picasso, Goya, García Lorca, and several members of the Spanish royalty! They are aided by several other "time civil servants", like Velázquez (yes-that Velázquez!), who draws the identikits for the Ministry!
Where to find it: The series has four seasons, all available at the official site (with Spanish subtitles). It used to be on Netflix, and I believe it has now moved to HBO.
