Snagged from 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 100ships mainly because other than mcu100 & xmen100 I was inspired a lot by it. I'll also say seasons_of_fandom, ships20in20, 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.

 So I wrote two drabbles for fandomtrees today, and if you're interested check out THIS updated post about some needy trees out there. And you don't have to be part of the community/signed up to take part. Feel free to gift stuff to anyone you want to as long as it follows their wants/DNW. End date is January 8 (reveals January 10).

Same thing is happening for sapphic stocking stuffers, there's three one left that don't have anything if you're interested/fans of whatever they are requesting. End date is January 8 as well.






Also finally made my first smallfandomfest entry! Safer With Him (AO3 URL), a Moonlight - Beth/Josef fic. It's also the first fic of the new year that I wrote so yay! Weirdly I ended 2025 with a 1.4k fic and I started 2026 with a 1.4k fic - I did not plan that. Ok so I just have one more for my claims for smallfandomfest.



Thank you to everyone that's promoting gamechangerhr!!!! And of course everyone participating! I really appreciate it and I hope it grows more. :)



Also kingstoken has a 2026 Book bingo if you're interested. I haven't quite looked at the prompts but I'm probably going to try do this one. I kinda forgot about the last one, lmao.


Also incase anyone missed it, there's a JANEuary Prompt event at Tumblr. Still not sure if I'm going to write anything, but I do love Jane Austen stuff, and I love Regency AUs. Oh god, if someone wrote a Ilya/Shane Regency AU I would freaking love you. (I'll have to check AO3 if there is one or not already)   EDIT 1/4/26: YES INDEEDY THERE IS ONE!!!


Also found out Hey, Sweetheart challenge - hopefully I can think of something by then for it.
