Fandom Year In Review
1. Your main fandom of the year?
I still don't quite know how I've ended up in the Lost Tomb fandom but that's where I spent most of last year
2. Your favorite film watched this year?
I'm not sure. A lot of the films I watched last year were old films that I rewatched with my work movie night gang. I only went to the cinema once, and that was to see Cloudy Mountain, which was fun but probably not my favourite.
Oh, I saw Battle Royale for the first time and that was pretty good
3. Your favorite book read this year?
I think I spent most of the year reading the Lost Tomb novels. There's a lot of them. I've just looked at Goodreads and, yeah, I spent the first few months reading Heaven Official's Blessing and most of the rest of the year reading the tomb novels. I did read Think of England by KJ Charles which I very much enjoyed.
4. Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?
I don't think I could say a specific album but the song I listened to most was Drive You Home by Jackson Wang. It's in English if kpop isn't your thing. I like it a lot.
5. Your favorite TV show of the year?
God, what did I even watch? I think probably Nirvana in Fire. I watched that right at the start of the year. Ancient Detective was also excellent.
6. Your favorite DW community of the year?
I wasn't on here that much so I can't really answer this. I did write a couple of fics for
hc_bingo before giving up.
7. Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
Not really the source material, but I found the Lost Tomb fandom and I'm now on a couple of discord with some very lovely people.
8. Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
The original Lost Tomb discord breaking down. That place was my home for a good few months and when it fell apart I was really sad. Luckily some people set up a new one, which I am now also a mod for. When a door closes a window opens etc.
9. Your fandom boyfriend of the year?
Much in the same way I'm not sure how I ended up in the Lost Tomb fandom, I'm also not sure how Pangzi became my favourite character. He's there mostly to be the comic relief, but (and I think this is largely down to how Chen Minghao plays him in Lost Tomb Reboot), he's got so much warmth and heart I can't help but love him. Very much my definition of a comfort character.
10. Your fandom girlfriend of the year?
Alas, the Lost Tomb does not have a dearth of female characters, and those who are around tend to die. It's like Supernatural. I think if I had to choose it would be Su Nan from Tomb of the Sea.
11. Your biggest squee moment of the year?
I was truly blessed with fandom gifts in 2021. I got some lovely things from
sundial_exchange and
guardian_wishlist. A couple of friends also wrote me fics for my birthday which I go back and re-read often.
12. The most missed of your old fandoms?
I'd say probably Guardian, although I haven't really left the fandom. I still read a lot of fics I just don't write in it anymore.
13. The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to?
I'm pretty happy where I am tbh. I'm still feeling very inspired by Lost Tomb and I'm watching other things but no real urge to move into another fandom
14. Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year?
I'm really hoping for lots of good OT3 or gen queerplatonic fics for Iron Triangle Week next month. This entry was originally posted at https://hils.dreamwidth.org/8805218.html.
