Year in Fandom
Dec. 26th, 2017 11:13 amYour main fandom of the year?
I have been sort of fannishly homeless this year. A bit of A Song of Ice and Fire but there's still no new book in sight, and it was a short season of the show which wasn't, er, fannishly inspiring; a bit of Person of Interest, but that's just me and three other people at this point; I dipped in and out of a few other things as I watched new shows or as exchanges required, but I'm still a bit adrift.
Your favorite film watched this year?
Wonder Woman.
Hands down, Wonder Woman. Way not to let the side down, Patty Jenkins.
Your favorite book read this year?
Children of Time (Team Spider!), The Wolf Road (if The Road had both girls and apostrophes), American War and New York 2140 (two very different takes on the environmental apocalypse), and What Happened (ouch).
Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?
I'm not a big music person. I did watch the SNL welcome to hell video a whole bunch of times.
Your favorite TV show of the year?
While I did not enjoy watching Gypsy, it was such a car crash that I very much enjoyed telling people about the experience of having watched Gypsy.
Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
This was the year I started reading comic books. There have been some swings-and-misses, but my favourites have been the Jane Foster Mighty Thor, Bombshells, and AKA Hellcat.
Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
I ended up really enjoying Star Trek: Discovery, but I'm still bummed that we didn't get the show that was teased in the pilot, with Georgiou as captain, Burnham as first officer, and more traditionally trekkie adventures.
Your fandom boyfriend of the year?
Jake Peralta continues to be a Good Boy.
Your fandom girlfriend of the year?
Rosa Diaz, who actually, canonically has a girlfriend now. How awesome was that!
Your biggest squee moment of the year?
The midseason finale of Legends of Tomorrow. Vikings! Bebo! The strong possibility that Sara and Agent Sharpe are going to imminently bang things out!
The most missed of your old fandoms?
Person of Interest :(
The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to?
I'm hoping that Alias Grace will tide me over until season two of The Handmaid's Tale.
Your biggest fan anticipations for the coming year?
For the longest time I thought that the talk of an all female Ocean's film was a particularly involved tumblr joke. Then the trailer dropped. Ocean's Eight, get into my eyeballs!
