Your main fandom of the year? I would probably say MCU, but X-Men would definitely be in second place. Fallout, High Potential and Wednesday took over my brain for most of the year as well. ;) Heated Rivalry took up most of my brain power within the last half of December (and still has it, if this post is anything to go by). ;P

Your favourite film watched this year? Thunderbolts* with Superman (2025) a close second. Fantastic Four: First Steps would probably be third along with Jurassic World: Rebirth.

Your favourite book read this year? The Long Game by Rachel Reid, but before I read that one I'd probably have said Zomromcom by Olivia Dade and The Accidental Housemate by Sal Thomas.

Your favourite TV show of the year? Heated Rivalry along with Doc, SkyMed, Wednesday, High Potential, and Jurassic World: Chaos Theory. Ghosts (US) is also still really good. Maxton Hall was oddly addictive?

Your favourite online fandom community of the year? I think it would have to say probably [community profile] 100ships mainly because other than [community profile] mcu100 & [community profile] xmen100 I was inspired a lot by it. I'll also say [community profile] seasons_of_fandom, [community profile] ships20in20, [community profile] lgbtrainbow - I made a lot of icons because of these communities. Seriously apparently, I made over 1k of icons last year???? I have them in a separate folder than my original icons so I could know what's new for my website. I knew I made a lot... but I did not expect that number (I haven't even officially "released" a lot of them other than on my website).

Your best new fandom discovery of the year? Heated Rivalry/Game Changers

Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year? I can't really think of anything??? I mean last year was the series finale of Jurassic World: Chaos Theory which sucks. We have to wait x amount of years for new season of Wednesday and SkyMed.

Your biggest squee moment of the year? Heated Rivalry episodes 4-6 probably, especially the last one. Before that I would say Wednesday's last episode of Season 2 (Weyler fans know what I'm talking about).

The most missed of your old fandoms? I read a lot of MCU, X-Men and Harry Potter fic. I can't remember if I branched out to any other old fandoms of mine. Oh wait! There was a couple Ghost Whisperer fics I read...

The fandom you haven’t tried yet, but want to? I can't really think of any.

Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year? The rest of High Potential Season 2, Ghosts (US) Season 5, and any other returning shows that I like either coming back from break or a new season.

I'm a bit late given authors revealed 3 days ago (and, briefly, a week and a half ago), but had to post to express my general delight at my lovely Yuletide gift! I had requested any combination of Algy & Ginger & Marcel, and absolutely loved the excellent h/c and caretaking fic featuring all 3 that [personal profile] rosanicus came up with.

malady
Fandom - Biggles
Rating - G
Length - 1,432 words
Tags - Algy & Ginger, Ginger & Marcel, Post-Biggles' Chinese Puzzle
Summary - Marcel is on the mend, but Ginger can't quite face the idea of leaving him alone.

Highly recommended if (like me) you (a) felt we deserved more Marcel h/c at the end of Chinese Puzzle and (b) enjoy Algy & Ginger in old-married-couple mode.

And huge thanks again to Rosie for the gift, it's a perfect epilogue for that story <333

Likes: I like fun, silly, happy, cheerful fic. I like happy endings! I do enjoy hurt/comfort, though.

DNWs: I don't like hurt without comfort or unhappy endings

Although I provide various Jewish prompts for each fandom, if you're not comfortable with them, feel free to do the woman or evil vizier route.


Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger : I have no Jewish tie-in here, I just love the team.

機界戦隊ゼンカイジャー | Kikai Sentai Zenkaiger : Jewish world? Passover world? Purim world?

×爆上戦隊ブンブンジャー | Bakuage Sentai Boonboomger (TV) : Oh gods, what if these goobers ended up trying to deliver to an Orthodox Jew on Shabbat? They're sure as hell not signing for anything. Or getting invited to a shul, because that would totally happen to them.

×Books of the Raksura - Martha Wells : Anything, I love these books :D

×InCryptid - Seanan McGuire : I think it's obvious that they encounter a golem or a dybbuk, right?

×Innkeeper Chronicles - Ilona Andrews : Gimme a world filled with extraterrestrial Jews, please! Or a Jewish guest at the inn could be super fun.

×The Librarians (TV 2014): It's been a while since I watched the show, so I'd prefer something fun and light rather than deep in the lore. Since Jews are so very much people of the book, there are basically infinite possibilities here and I'd love all of them. For some reason, I really like the idea of the crew having to deal with Maimonides...

×Power Rangers Dino Fury: This is one of the only fandoms in the world where I prefer the canon ships to anything else: Fern/Izzy or Ollie/Amelia. Gen action or humor would be great here. I'd love some post-canon nonsense of them getting on with their lives, but any or all of the characters during the show would be great too. Something that happened off-camera? A Jewish kid at school? Or if you happen to know the fanon that Zedd and Rita are Jewish, that'd be fun to incorporate :D

×Power Rangers Samurai: I love these ridiculous kids so much. I'd love post-canon, but anything about their lives during canon would be great too. I'd love one of the team to be secretly Jewish.

×Kamen Rider W: Aaaaaaanything!

I saw a few people on dreamwidth doing a scrapbook type thing, and it made me remember doing one ages ago so I'm going to follow that format. I figured I should start mine now before I forget exactly what I watched... if anyone has any suggestions, feel free to drop a comment.

My main fandom is Sherlock Holmes and one of the many questions related to canon is what happened to the dog (or was it a dog? Some believe it was a gun!) that Watson claims he keeps (a bully pup) when he first meets Sherlock Holmes. I have answered this in ficlets for as long as I have been in fandom (which is now 15 years). Here's another go.

I have four cats, legally, but it's more like 3 cats and half of two cats. Reb Brown - my old man cat, Stink my half blind and brain damaged cat and Kitten my murderpuss all live here full time. Reb is an indoor cat, with occasional escape attempts. Stink and Kitten are indoor/outdoor cats, mostly because they refuse to use a litter box. Well Kitten refuses, Stink doesn't really understand the concept.  We also have Missy, who I see on occasion but she spends most of her time at the care home across the lane. And Buddy isn't out cat but spends most of his time here. 

We also have three chickens, Jade, Fluffernutter and Jellylegs. We may get more in the spring. And we have 2 fish. 

I also offer you these two fic about animals:

Some Of The Adventures Of Schrödinger The Cat - A Stargate SG-1 fic about Sam's cat after the Tolen are attacked.

Proper Lawn Maintenance - A Dragon Age fic about a goat.

Archiving! Fandoms added: Kingdom Hearts 2, Count of Monte Cristo, Dragalia Lost, Wild Rock... ten fics total. Still debating slimming down [community profile] lemonadecafe's index and just using tags, idk. The index is going to get ridiculous sooner than later at this point so I guess we'll see?

The Count of Monte Cristo (2002 Movie) fic is one of the last exchange fics I wrote and apparently from a time before I'd turned off a lot of formatting in LibreOffice. I thought I could copy the raw html from AO3 but that turned out Very Badly. I've fixed what I could but AO3 is literally cleaning things too well and it's almost impossible to pick out what's gone wrong without multiple programs and argh... I suppose this is a chance to 'fix' the version on AO3? (I do actually fix code/typos/etc. over there when I see them. I try to say I don't post to AO3 because I am technically still using the site, unfortunately.)

Working on getting 2020's ow plotbunny book transcribed to a new notebook. There's a 202x appendix somewhere, and a lot of notecards, but there was literally a point where I just stopped logging things? Which is Not Great and kinda shows how my mental health went arse for a bit. (Also 2022, I'm guessing.) Well, fixing that now! This should all be Very Interesting!
