1. Your main fandom of the year?
I probably read the most in Marvel(ish) movies - MCU and Deadpool. I think I only wrote Stargate and Men in Black.
2. Your favorite film you watched this year?
I watched a lot of movies, some of them were okay/good and some were bad, the one that I'm still kinda thinking about is Sorry to Bother You. It's streaming on Hulu now if you want to watch it. What I really loved was that the trailers didn't give it away, and the satire was enough to make me think about real world issues without making me super depressed. The most watchable movie was definitely Spider-Man: Into the Spider-verse. I'm excited for more Miles.
3. Your favorite book read this year?
The Wayward Children series by Seanan McGuire. I love portal stories and I love the what happens after the adventure stories. They're short, easy to read, and keeps your imagination going.
4. Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?
Spotify says my top three for 2018 (at least since May) were:
On Tuesdays- the 4onthefloor
Holler - Band of Rascals
Bully for you - Hotel Mira
All three of which were on my playlist called Love of My Lives which was about a woman stuck in a time loop who decided to use her power to help people, assassinate certain political leaders, and fall madly in love with a CIA agent who alternated between looking like Oscar Isaac and Josh Brolin.
5. Your favorite TV show of the year?
I ate The Good Place up! I watched S1 last spring, S2 when it came out on Netflix, and I'm keeping up with S3. S1 is still my favorite, but I'm really interested in where they're going with the actual Good Place. I keep meaning to look up fusions/crossovers, or try to write the one I want. But like so many things, I won't hold my breath over my creative abilities.
6. Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
I don't think I discovered a new fandom. I took comfort in old favorites more likely.
7. Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
The new Doctor Who. Don't get me wrong, I really like 13, especially after not watching any of 12. And I like her trio of companions, but I don't feel like she had a moment to shine. I don't remember any quoteables and I miss having a season/series arc. I haven't actually watched the New Year special yet though, but on the whole it was kinda mediocre.
8. Your fandom boyfriend of the year?
Josh Brolin won this year. What a weird dude, but he is very watchable in just about everything he does. I don't know if he's any good or not, but his choices are up my alley, and he even made me feel a little bit positive toward that monster Bush in W.
9. Your fandom girlfriend of the year?
Eleanor from The Good Place, though I've had a bit of a crush on Kristen Bell via Dax Shepard for a while now. She's such an Arizona dirt bag in a dumpster fire and she gives me such hope for humanity. I mean we all know someone who is on the sliding scale of awful, and if she can make good decisions sometimes, then maybe they can too.
10. Your biggest squee moment of the year?
I was so bogged down in my own rage and despair that I don't think I had enough emotions left to squee over anything.
11. The most missed of your old fandoms?
I went looking for McShep from SGA, but a lot of what I found from the good old days didn't keep my attention any more. And I refuse to ever read "Freedom's Just Another Word for Nothing Left to Lose" because once was more than enough for my emotional well being.
12. The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to?
I mean, I'd like to watch the new Star Trek but it hasn't happened yet.
13. Your biggest fan anticipations for the coming year?
I don't know, there's a lot of movies I'm looking forward to watching, but I think the last real anticipation I had was the Hobbit trilogy and again, I cried to much at the last one to enjoy the rewatch knowing what's waiting for me. I miss being super excited for the next Harry Potter or Star Wars or whatever, but I don't think that's the life I live anymore.

Date: 2019-01-04 11:16 pm (UTC)Yeah, gods, i ugly-cried through about half of it, but it was...really cathartic? I dunno. Then I go and read 'Written by the Victors' to get happy again. :D
