2025 Year in fandom meme  
Snagged from [personal profile] starterpack

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.

Awesome! I thought I wouldn't reach the 1000 mark this year, but I made it again. It's been 10+ years now. I like icon challenges, they inspire me. And I just like the iconmaker community in general.

That's an awesome streak! 10+ years! Oh wow, that's so cool. This (aka last year) was the first year in I'd say in ten years? that I made icons. My last post from LJ at my graphics community was dated 2015. Crap, I knew it was a long time, but I didn't think it was that long....

Yeah I think the iconmaking community here is really nice, and there are so many icon challenges to choose from! Do you have a particular favorite one?
