You know, this year I'd really like to post here more than once a year, and although these are memes, well... any post is better than nothing isn't it?
FANDOMYour main fandom of the year? Probably Dragon Age: Inquisition.
Your favorite film you watched this year? I think The Martian as it's about the only big film I've got to see this year.
Your favorite book read this year? I enjoyed We Are Completely Besides Ourselves, so much more than I expected. It was a book I wished more people I knew had read so I could talk about it with them.
Your favorite album or song to listen to this year? Alt J - Every Other Freckle. Over and over and over again.
Your favorite tv show of the year? Bake Off. I love Mary and Paul, (My Birthday present from my sister this year was tickets to see them live at the BBC Good Food Show) but I'm in it for Mel and Sue.
Your best new fandom discovery of the year? I've only just started with it, but Brooklyn Nine-Nine. So much love for Holt!
Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year? The direction of the Marvel movies. I fully intend to finally get around to watching the Winter Soldier at some point, but I will live in denial of any films past that point. I'm not saying they are bad for telling those stories, I'm just not interested in going there.
Your fandom boyfriend of the year? Tony Kennedy from
The Kennedys. (I CAN"T HELP IT. IT"S THE AWESOME DAD THING)
Your fandom girlfriend of the year? Jessica Fletcher. (Hannah & Rebecca have discovered Murder She Wrote, I have been watching a lot of it)
Your biggest squee moment of the year? OK It wasn't really mine, but it was just so cute it became mine. Hannah and Rebecca talking to their friend Frankie, (they are all nine) and discovering she was into Murder She Wrote too, and a bout of the three of them literally jumping up and down whilst holding each others hands and screaming to find someone else who liked it.
The most missed of your old fandoms? I miss how active I was in my old fandoms, and I miss the conversation I'd have with my friends in the fandoms - probably Buffy or Ninth Doctor Doctor Who.
The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to? Too many to count.
Your biggest fan anticipations for the coming year? Actually trying to participate in fandom again.
