Fandom in review - 2010

[dosciencetoit]

I took this fandom meme from larantula. I did it in the lab instead of going home, because I'm awesome like that.


Your main fandom of the year?

Supernatural. Hands down. I marathoned my way through the first four and a half seasons back in March, and now watch the new episodes when the air. And I spend too much free time in fandom related communities.

Your favorite film watched this year?

I'm trying to remember what I actually watched this year, but nothing too mind-blowing. I'm going to say Tron - Legacy. I saw it last Friday and really enjoyed it.

Your favorite book read this year?

In terms of general fiction, I actually really enjoyed Slaughterhouse V (Kurt Vonnegut). For fantasy, I absolutely loved Lies of Locke Lamorra (Steven Lynch). I'm re-reading Pillars of the Earth for book club right now, though, and that's always been one of my favourites.

Your favorite album or song to listen to this year?

Florence and the Machine - Lungs

Your favorite TV show of the year?

Supernatural, but Criminal Minds and Bones are close seconds. I'd even through in Secret Diary of a Call Girl. Love them all. I'm even really digging SPN season 6, though no one else I know likes it.

Your favorite community of the year?

deancastiel, partly because it was my OTP of the year, and partly because it's the best run community I follow. I love the tagging and the posting rules, and the content doesn't hurt. I even loved the "Groped by a Fangirl" April fools joke they did.

Your best new fandom discovery of the year?

Supernatural. As I said, I started watching the show in March. I actually only got into fandom towards the end of the fourth season.

Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?

Merlin fandom, though it's more a commentary on the third season than on the show itself.

Your TV boyfriend of the year?

Dean and Cas. But mostly Dean. Maybe Dr. Reid.
Your TV girlfriend of the year?

Hanna (Secret Diary of a Call Girl

Your biggest squee moment of the year?

When I got to see James Marsters in concert at FanExpo this year. And, while I'm sad we didn't have any of the SPN cast, I did get my picture taken with the Impala :)

The most missed of your old fandoms?

I'm not sure if you can count it as old, since I was still involved until March, but Torchwood Fandom. I cherish it like an old lover, but there's no way I'm going to hit it again.]

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

Leverage and Hawai 5-O

Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year?

Doctor Who Christmas special (which is actually being aired on Boxing Day in Canada this year!), Doctor Who Season 6, and more Supernatural. I really can't wait to see what happens with Cas and Crowley.

Hey, a Torchwood fan! :D I use to frequent that fandom too, but it sort of fell by the wayside when Supernatural appeared. I was totally on Team Ianto though ^_^

I'm also part of Team Ianto, so I'm not sure if I'll even watch it if they make another season.

[larantula.livejournal.com]

They are making another season. Well, Jack and Gwen go to America......
I'm skeptical but I'll give it a chance.

[notragicmercury.livejournal.com]

To be honest, I'll probably watch it too, but only if they don't play up the Jack/Gwen. It would be like a slap to the face.

[larantula.livejournal.com]

Agreed! They need to let Jack be his old flirty self but not willing to commit to anyone. I'll be pissed if they "forget" about Ianto -.-
