Your main fandom of the year?

A main fandom? I haven't had that in a while now, but I suppose the honours go to Avatar/Legend of Korra and Warehouse 13 in terms of time most spent in, with DCU and Legend of the Seeker (yes, always) as honourable mention.


Your favorite tv show of the year?

It's a tie between Warehouse 13 and The Good Wife (again, always), followed by Legend of Korra. Had I watched OUAT all throughout the year, it would have been a part of this list, too.



Your best new fandom discovery of the year?

ff.net and AO3 - a rediscovery. The Importance of LJ Conversations, because I miss them.


Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?

Legend of Korra finale. My issues with it are well-documented, and while there are things that I enjoyed about it, it will be my eternal regret that they went from 'Turning the Tides' to that. The second biggest disappointment is of course the Batbooks post-reboot. I miss my Batfamily. I miss them. I think Scott Snyder, despite his best efforts, was better in that stellar 'Tec run. I think Gail Simone was just beginning to hit the right notes in BoP. I think Batgirl had it in itself to give many, many issues full of unadulterated JOY.

Your fandom boyfriend of the year?

I was going to say Batman, but I don't WANT him to be my fandom boyfriend of the year so I will go with Sokka and comics!Hawkeye (Fraction-Aja Hawkeye, that is).


Your fandom girlfriend of the year?

Lin. HG. Alicia. Kalinda. Myka. Diana, as written by Brian Azzarello. Diane Lockhart.

Your biggest squee moment of the year?

Legend of Korra, episode 1.10. If by squee moment you mean rip my heart out and shred it into tiny pieces moment.

The most missed of your old fandoms?

Merlin. I met some of the best people I've *ever* met in that fandom, and I still have a lot of feelings for the characters on that show. It's just the show I have difficulty watching now, and I miss that engagement (one day,
tanndell  and I will sit down and watch S5. with copious amounts of alcohol and cursing).

The fandom you haven't tried yet, but want to?

I'm going to watch Borgen at some point. Also Elementary. I will also read Captain Marvel at some point.

Your biggest fan anticipations for the coming year?

Warehouse 13 4.5 and the wrapping up of Artie's story, as well as the dangling HG plotlines; The Good Wife, which never fails to please; OUAT S2, which I'm oddly excited for now. More Korra, whenever that comes. Avatar: The Search, because AZULA.

Stolen from everyone!

Why would anyone in their right mind put up their naked photos on FB? I mean, okay, I realise this is She Who Must Not Be Named we're speaking of and yes, she's not really sane, but come on. Naked photos. On Facebook.

I have mangoes. Have I ever mentioned how much I love mangoes?

Actually, I was home for a week and naturally, my friends shamelessly demanded I bring back food for them, poor starved creatures that they are. And what could possibly be better than MANGOES in summer? So I asked my father to help me pick up some, since I'm pretty hopeless at recognising good fruit - AND THEN HE GOT ME A CARTON FULL OF MANGOES, ALONG WITH SOME BONUS LYCHEE, HOW AWESOME IS THAT? And if that weren't enough, my mother ALSO packed some fish and other delectables (which we obviously finished as soon as I landed last night and then everyone was too full to finish all the mangoes).

Mmm, mangoes.

Meme stolen from heathershaped: Give me the name of a fictional character from any fandom and I will write them a short love letter.

So, this Lurker Amnesty Day thing: are you a lurker? Have you found yourself here for whatever reason? Do say hi! If you want to, that is.

Legend of the Seeker, 2.01-02: I have questions. Like, why must everything happen in 'a thousand years'? How is Kahlan so pretty? Why is everyone naked in the Underworld? Where is all the Cara/Kahlan fic? Why does Richard not wash his hair?

Tell me a fandom and I'll tell you about my:

+ OTP
+ Runner-up
+ Honorable mention(s)
+ Crack pairing(s)
+ Ship everyone else seems to like, but I don't


(This will be fun, given how I generally tend to multi-ship and have OTCs instead of OTPs)

Meme floating around in the flist: Ask me my fannish Top Five [Whatevers]. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post.

Bored at work. Meme time! Stolen from a couple of people in the flist:

The problem with LJ: we all think we are so close, but really, we know nothing about each other.

So I want you to ask me something you think you should know about me. Something that should be obvious, but you have no idea about. Or something completely random. Ask away.

Then post this in your LJ and find out what people don't know about you!

Meme stole from msgenevieve. Because I'm bored and no one is entertaining me.
