1. Happy Holidays! It's not New Year yet so I'm on time. :P

2. I haven't watched the Doctor Who Christmas special or the season 6 trailer yet, and I don't know when I'll be able to. Please don't spoil!

3. I'm up to chapter 6 of Dead Beat and SO MUCH HAS HAPPENED ALREADY OMG.

4. That fandom-year-in-review meme that's going around:


Your main fandom of the year?
TRANSFORMERS =D Oh, silly giant space robots, how you eat my brain. And this year I finally got active in the fandom! I love it, crazyness and RUINED FOREVER and all. It's big enough to find a nice, cozy corner to play.

Your favorite film watched this year?
How To Train Your Dragon. Hands down. It's one of those movies that feel like they were made specifically for me. ♥

Your favorite book read this year?
Not counting my usual rereading of The Neverending Story? Hmmm. It's hard because I've been reading a lot, but... I'll go for Jim Butcher's Death Masks.

Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?
Nothing that came out this year. :P I've been oh-so-80s this year. I blame 1)my brother and 2)working with VH1 as background music.

Your favourite TV show of the year?
I'm going to cheat and mention two. :P This season of Doctor Who was awesome and wonderful and everything I love. But I just have to mention Castle here. I might not talk about it a lot because I didn't get into its fandom, but that show makes me happy inside. =DDD

Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
The Dresden Files! I've started reading the series in January and I'm up to book seven already. I'd say "HOW DID THAT HAPPEN" but, well, stupid wizards.

Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
I haven't watched the last two episodes yet, but... Morgana's character derailment in Merlin. It's especially disappointing because it could have been done so well.

Your fictional boyfriend of the year?
Rory Williams ♥♥♥

Your fictional girlfriend of the year?
... I'm too straight for this question. :P

Your biggest squee moment of the year?
The end of the FMA manga! That was just... so, so, so wonderful. So many warm and fuzzy feelings. ♥ The end of Ouran and of Who's last season get special mentions, too.

The most missed of your old fandoms?
None! I don't leave fandoms behind, I accumulate them. |D I even reconnected with Harry Potter this year. The only fandom I'd say I've moved away from is CLAMP, and even so I still RP from it. Besides, I don't miss it. >.>

The fandom you haven’t tried yet, but want to.
I really want to read the Percy Jackson books.

Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year?
LEGEND OF KORRA! And also Transformers: Prime. I'm so ridiculously excited for this stuff. =D

2. I haven't watched the Doctor Who Christmas special or the season 6 trailer yet, and I don't know when I'll be able to. Please don't spoil!

watchwatchwatchwatch it is a fun romp and heartwarming and Christmas-y. Just be careful when looking for discussion posts on [livejournal.com profile] doctorwho, because one of them is full of unfunny slut-shaming of Amy, among other not-fun things.

I'm dying to watch it, really. :( I just don't have a good enough connection.

I know how that is. Tried to watch it Christmas day, had to give up because the hotel's connection was too slow. Luckily, we went back home the next day (and completely missed the snow while on the road).

I sort of envy you. I wish I could find my cozy happy fandom. ONE DAY.

It's more of a cozy corner, really. BUT YOU WILL. I KNOW.

But all the same, you have a corner at least. I'M KEEPING THE FAITH, YES.

I mean, I have a lot of fandoms that make me really happy, but I wish there was a conciliation between good canon, good (and active) LJ fandom, and good (and active) Japanese fandom if it applies. Normally it's 2 out of 3 at most, or I've come too late.

You'll find your corner one day! It has to exist somewhere.
