End of Year Meme 2017

End of year meme, nicked from [livejournal.com profile] schweet_heart :D I'll probably do a fic one later today, when I can face it

1. Your main fandom of the year?

Good old Merlin, as ever.

2. Your favourite film watched this year?

I really liked God's Own Country, highly recommend that one.

3. Your favourite book read this year?
I've been rubbish on books this year! But The Sellout by Paul Beatty was amazing and The Vegetarian by Han Kang was a creepy little treat.

4. Your favourite TV show of the year?
Dear White People is EXCELLENT

5. Your favourite online fandom community of the year?

Ah, love the Merlin chat as always

6. Your best new fandom discovery of the year?
Bradley's sexy twins in Bounty Hunters

Twin Bradley Gif

7. Your biggest fandom disappointment of the year?
Totally failed on writing my auction fic or an ACBB :(

10. Your biggest squee moment of the year?

BROLIN LIVES

11. The most missed of your old fandoms?

I feel a pang for Sherlock occasionally, even though I was never really engaged in the fandom beyond reading fic. I essentially just love Moriarty, really.

12. The fandom you haven’t tried yet, but want to?
I wanna write a Harry/Draco fic! And maybe a Peaky Blinders one too...

Peaky Blinders Gif

13. Your biggest fan anticipations for the New Year?
More lovely chats with fandom folk and more delicious Merlin fic and art for me to enjoy from all our talented creators!

I did this and the window shut on the post and I couldn't be bothered to do it again. But yeah my no 10 would be the same! Where's 8 and 9?

Also the Shermans are the best thing ever and need to be back in season 2.

Ahahaha I just copied it straight from schweet and hers has no 8 or 9 either! I'm gonna add my own here:

8. How prepared are you for tickets to Colin's play to go on sale?
I am on red alert at all hours. I no longer sleep. I live inside the National Theatre, under the Box Office desk, waiting. Always waiting.

9. Favourite procrastination buddy of the year?
Undoubtedly the splendid Clea2011. Pleasure flailing with you this year.

Clea introduced me to tbe Shermans and I just binge watched the whole of Bounty Hunters.
Let us know as soon as you hear any Colin related news or have ticketd

All I know is it's from May onwards! I will keep you informed, but I think it's best we all cancel every plan we made for the latter half of the year, just in case...

Also [livejournal.com profile] clea2011 is an enabler who loves twincest ;)

Perhaps I should do it and add those two in :D

Also no 9 likewise!

Shit! I've booked tickets for something on one Saturday at the end of May! What if it's the only day of the play? Nooooo!!!

I tell you what, when it comes to the small fandom thing for hc bingo it'll be difficult not to pick the Shermans and their brotherly love! LOL

I'll text you as soon as I know, and we'll get tickets! \o/

Your best new fandom discovery and biggest squee moment are mine as well. Yay Sherman twins and Brolin!!!! :D

lol I didn't even notice, but I copied direct from another site so maybe they don't have 8 & 9 either...hmmm...

ETA: I have located the source of my source, and now have an 8 & 9 :D

Yay! I am getting nowhere with writing anything tonight so I think I'll have a go, though my 6 and 10 are now going to look like I've copied Polo...

So so great! Bradley's been on form this year :D

[identity profile] archaeologist-d.livejournal.com 2018-01-09 10:28 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't seen Bradley's twin adventure yet. I'm hoping it comes to the States.

Still loving Merlin!

I just watched it all online Arch D! And some kind soul has put videos of all the Bradley bits online here ;)
