reeby10.
Your main fandom of the year?
The Raven Cycle, I guess. At least I've been massively productive in it, posting 53 fics and a podfic to AO3 and two more snippets to tumblr, although I've taken a turn toward Batman/DCU again by the end.
Your favourite film watched this year?
Gee, what films did I watch? Does Batman and Harley Quinn count? It's animated, but it was a lot of fun, despite initial eyebrow-raising. As for movie in the theatre, I guess I'll go with Hidden Figures. Such a feel-good film. Honourable mentions for Wonder Woman, Justice League, The Wrestler and Krampus.
Your favourite book read this year?
A toss-up between The Dream Thieves, Oryx and Crake, as well as The Handmaid's Tale. All re-reads. Can't remember too many first reads this year. Oh, Howl's Moving Castle was adorable. And I read some graphic novels I enjoyed, but I guess that doesn't count here.
Your favourite album or song to listen to this year?
I Wanna Be Yours by The Arctic Monkey, Tear You Apart by She Wants Revenge, Afraid by The Neighborhood and Insomnia by IAMX. I also had the urge to listen my way through the discography of Rammstein and Subway to Sally, just to rekindle some old loves.
Your favourite TV show of the year?
I'm suffering from TV show overload, lol. Mr Robot is definitely on it. Brooklyn Nine-Nine, always. Oh, I watched the final two seasons of The Wire, which I loved. Also, The Handmaid's Tale and Alias Grace. Halt and Catch Fire, such an underrated show. Transparent, a family drama with a multi-faceted approach to the theme of transitioning, dealing with love, loss and sexuality in many different forms. Refreshing in many different ways, not least of all that the main characters are Jewish. GLOW, how could I forget? Powerless, RIP :( Black Mirror. A Series of Unfortunate Events.
Your favourite DW/LJ community of the year?
Haven't been around here much, but as with recent years I guess I'll go with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
1_million_words, because it's weekend challenge is what provides me with prompts to write for.
Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
idk, the tdp side of the TRC fandom? Amazing folks! Or does Powerless count? I loved the tongue-in-cheek humour. I also found a chronological rec list of DC comics, which looks helpful, even the beginning years is skewing too much towards Superman for my taste, and boy, was Clark a creep.
Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
Possibly the DC TV shows. I dropped them early in the year. The Powerless cancellation. Finding out that the Flash movie that had originally been slated for 2018 had been bumped back to 2020 (although knowing it will be a FLashpoint movie has me screaming both in excitement and in terror lol)
Your fandom boyfriend of the year?
What... does this question even mean? If this is about favourite male character, I'm going with Kavinsky, because I'm having a blast writing him.
Your fandom girlfriend of the year?
Still happily married to Harley, lol. Never gets boring, especially with the amount of pairings open to me. Although my latest "acquisition" is RHATO's Artemis, whom I love very much.
Your biggest squee moment of the year?
All the JL!Barry Allen footage? No wait, Dick having a crush on Harley in/after B&HQ. I cringed at the beginning of the film, but their budding friendship in the later half was too cute. Also, everyone who signed up for gift fics from me and/or encouraged me some other way made me leap out of my skin with joy. Love you guys so much.
The most missed of your old fandoms?
I get nostalgic for a lot of things when I look at my old fandom lists. Mostly anime/manga stuff. Especially when I had ideas I never managed to get out, like in the case of KHR. Or when I just wanted to write something but didn't know what, like in the case of the sand sibs in Naruto.
The fandom you haven’t tried yet, but want to?
I'm always trying to keep away from potential new fandoms because I don't need any more ideas, although I usually don't hold out very long. Power Rangers is on the list. Preacher, Shadowhunters, All for the Game, things that are prompted often but which I haven't checked out yet, lol.
Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year?
Finally getting around to working on my bigger WIPs. Getting around to writing JL stuff. And filling so many kink meme prompts. I'm also looking forward to Aquaman, although I have no expectations of it apart from mooning over Jason Momoa and Amber Heard. And if Gal Gadot is in it too, I'll be blissful.
