Nominations open in a few days, which is plenty of time for you to shill your favorite canon and lure people into your fandom. Feel free to use the comments on this post to tell everyone why your canon is the best!
Two canons I'll definitely be requesting, both available for the low price of 100% free:
Gingiva is an indie RPG game. It stars a female automaton in a dystopian future who breaks out of her oppressive job with the help of a friendly sentient floating mouth. While her initial goal is simply to attain her own freedom, she winds up fighting to take down the powers that be, who've taken her escape rather personally. It can be finished in 4 to 7 hours, depending on how much you want to explore.
The world Gingiva presents is so utterly messed-up and beautiful, and the worldbuilding potential abounds. All of the main characters are fascinating and beg to be explored further in fic. There's also a ton of potential for intriguingly unhealthy xeno ships, ranging from cheerfully codependent incest to weapon/wielder relationships laced with corruption and manipulation.
Other reasons it's awesome: * The graphics combine pixel art with gorgeous collage art. * There's multiple routes, endings, and obtainable party members. * It has a beautiful soundtrack.
Dawn in Naples is a music video from Chinese idol group SNH48. A plot-driven MV, it tells a story of conspiracy, betrayal, and revenge among an all-female royal court.
I'll be honest, the biggest attraction in this MV is the glorious hateship potential between the duchess (in the black coat, played by Li Yitong) and the princess (in the white and black dresses, played by Ju Jingyi). So many messy feelings and hand-kisses! But besides the femslash, there's also a ton of worldbuilding and character development to dive into, especially in regards to the dark side of the princess.
Other reasons it's awesome: * Swordfighting! * Costume porn! * Oh yeah, the song itself is super catchy. :D

Watch: Here (normal version), or here (extended version)*.
*(I'd recommend watching the normal version first, then the extended, since the normal version is fully subtitled in English.)
