Year-end fandom meme

2021-12-28T21:41:38Z

Sure, why not?

1. Your main fandom of the year? Definitely 12 Monkeys, in terms of time and interest, though I continue to produce very little in the way of fannish content.

2. Your favorite film you watched this year? Dune

3. Your favourite book read this year? I'm still not finding much time to read. I did enjoy One Last Stop and The Invention of Wings.

4. Your favourite album or song to listen to this year? Been listening to lots of jazz and chill house music as background, but not a lot intentionally. However, I got mildly obsessed with a song called "I Found" (Amber Run) and have like 8 versions of it. Also been listening to Michael Malarkey a ton.

5. Your favourite TV show of the year? Ted Lasso

6. Your best new fandom discovery of the year? Mostly rediscovering old favorites. I spent a couple of months wildly obsessed with Justified (again). Was it this year that I watched Spartacus for the first time? That was great. (Thank you, destina !) And I've been fannish enough about Ted Lasso to read a story here and there. (Pretty much entirely Keeley/Roy/Jamie and Keeley/Rebecca)

7. Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year? Hmm...I think everything was pleasantly undisappointing, in general! I really liked Black Widow, and Dune, and the Matrix movie. Season 2 of Ted Lasso was awesome. Dexter: New Blood is okay, but my expectations weren't high, so not disappointed I guess. ~~If I had to pick one, it'd be S3 of Lost in Space. I'd been really looking forward to it, but only found myself mildly interested.~~ Never mind, scratch that, after squeeing with Destina about the stuff that was great, I've decided it was exactly what it needed to be, and I was just grumpy that day. :D.

8. Your fandom boyfriend(s) of the year? Raylan Givens (Justified) and Roy Kent (Ted Lasso)

9. Your fandom girlfriend(s) of the year? Jennifer Goines (12 Monkeys) and Rosa Ortecho (Roswell, NM)

10. Your biggest squee moment of the year? Pretty much all of S3 of Roswell, NM. Especially the Malex parts, of course, but also, my Rosa & Isobel & Maria feelings! My found family feelings! Oh, and that photo of Brett Goldstein and Phil Dunster cuddling on the red carpet, wherever that is—I can't seem to Google the right one at the moment.

11. The most missed of your old fandoms? I didn't have time to miss anything, honestly, just my own participation in them. :) But feeling nostalgic for ST:TOS for reasons.

12. The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to? Nothing new. Just want more time/inspiration/motivation to participate in the ones I already have, especially—

13. Your biggest fan anticipations for the coming year? STAR TREK STRANGE NEW WORLDS, BABY! (and also Disco S4 which I haven't started yet.)

ETA: Looking at my fandom bfs and gfs for the year, I am laughing, because wow, do I have a type in both cases!

Holiday gifts

2021-12-26T06:17:51Z

I usually agree that it's better to give than to receive, but honestly, I was not at my best this year writing holiday exchange fic. I did try my best, and I appreciate my betas helping me, but I know I'm rusty.

2021-10-15T00:20:37Z

If you are the person who nominated Being Erica for Yuletide with the character "worldbuilding," please, for all that's holy, comment on the Yulebuilding post. I'm not saying for sure that I can fulfill your dreams, but I AM saying for sure that if I can, I will.

Medical alert for seniors

2021-05-21T21:28:42Z

Does anyone have a recommendation for a wireless fall/medical alert for seniors? Thank you in advance. Edited: I'd love to find one that can both notify a caregiver in the house and also alert emergency services if needed, but the caregiver notification (in the house) is more important.

READ THIS STAT.

2020-04-29T02:39:30Z

Heyyyy, so, melina wrote me a thing. It is an amazing, smoking hot, delectable crossover, and I can't recommend it highly enough to all my Highlander peeps—but also, for literally anyone who wants to read some gorgeous, emotional, kinky fic. Even if you don't know either fandom, it's incredible. I gave it to my non-fannish wife, and she was fanning herself in the first few pages. (She's also now listening to all the Discovery of Witches books, so I think it took!) Please add this to your reading list!

Highlander Shortcuts Fest!

2020-01-06T23:31:34Z

I love Highlander. It's the fandom of my heart. I think that's probably more than obvious? But this year's exchange fest—hosted YET AGAIN by the generous, amazing, and awesome amand_r—once more illuminates many of the reasons why.

Go home, Supernatural S15—you're drunk!

2019-10-25T19:11:57Z

Confession: I didn't watch 15x02. The trailer for it looked abominably bad, and spoilers I read only solidified my choice. But, wow, this storyline! I feel like I'm watching a funhouse version of SPN. (spoiler: I hate funhouses) I didn't even watch it and I'm mad about Kevin, but I never stopped being mad about Kevin.

The fandom that always shall be

2019-07-27T05:11:28Z

Just finished working (omg I am tired), but too tired to sleep, too fried to watch anything, so I decided to do monthly maintenance on the K/S archive. I started that thing in 2004, y'all. Which was 2 years after I left the fandom. We are almost at 10,000 members, and even though I'm sure some 0-5% of those are spam accounts, I try to keep on top of that, and most of those are almost certainly legit. We're close to 6,000 stories, and 65,000 reviews. In the era of AO3 (and given that we are limping along on code that has not been updated since 2005), I am frankly boggled by that.

SPN J2 BB Art Post: Thursday's Child by paleogymnast

2019-07-19T22:40:46Z

Title: Thursday's Child
Author: paleogymnast
Pairing: none/Gen
Rating: R
Summary: At the end of all things, Claire Novak finds herself alone, when an unexpected entity offers her a choice—fade away with everything else across all the multiverse, or take a chance to save her sisters and forge new connections with a different version of her family, and maybe restore a future to at least one version of reality. But making the choice to go on will mean giving up everything she has ever known and loved, and traveling through time to a different world, a broken world lost in time, where she doesn’t exist, a teenaged Sam and 21-year-old Dean have been separated for years, and the Thule Society have infiltrated the mysteriously named “Department of Internal Services,” and history is not what she knows. The road will be long, but if she succeeds, Claire has a chance at saving the Alex and Patience she knows. If she fails, all existence will be erased.

Taking Sam/Rowena prompts

2019-04-16T01:57:21Z

Y'all, I accidentally (I swear) wrote (sort of) death fic for my spnspringfling recipient, de_nugis. And now I feel super guilty about it, and would so welcome any Sam/Rowena prompts that might strike you. I promise nothing, but guilt is a powerful motivator.
