Fandom Name: Welcome to Our Village, Please Invade Carefully
Where to find the canon: archive.org (just search the title in your favorite search engine) or on CD
What I love about it: Delightful sci-fi radio comedy about an English village that's invaded by aliens (they're practicing for invading the rest of the Earth). It's got a wonderful cast of characters (including two awesome female leads) and a light touch, and the premise is just begging for all kinds of fun fandom tropes!

Fandom Name: The Windrose Chronicles, by Barbara Hambly
Where to find the canon: Any source for books or ebooks
What I love about it: Here is the long promo post I made about it in 2021.
Here is the TL;DR version: Portal fantasy trilogy featuring a young woman who works as a programmer in the 1980s--and her expertise is plot-relevant!--who is kidnapped into another world where magic works. Together with a member of an order of warriors who are taught to see themselves as living weapons and a renegade wizard who may or may not be evil (and who she may or may not be falling in love with), she must journey to save all the worlds from a magical effect that is slowly draining the life and joy from everyone. (Yes, it is partly about depression. But it's not a sad book at all.)
