Challenge #9: In your own space, list your Fandom Wrap categories.
I actually have not quantified my time by fandom. So these are somewhat dubious guesses at best.

What are your top five fandoms for 2021 based on the amount of time you interacted with them?
1. Romance Novels (does that count as fandom as much as genre, like SFF? I read a lot of those, and also read reviews and listened to many podcasts and such)
2. Rusty Quill Gaming (probably, if canon reception counts, because I started listening in early 2021 iirc and that's over three hundred podcast episodes I caught up on, so that's quite a lot, but I haven't delved much into the fandom yet)
3. MCU, particularly the Captain America and Falcon & Winter Soldier corner
4. The Magnus Archives
5. Check Please!

What are your top five fandom spaces in terms of time spent? (AO3, Twitter, Tumblr, Reddit, Dreamwidth, and others)
1. AO3
2. Dreamwidth
3. Tumblr
4. Twitter (only lurking)
5. Goodreads

What are the top five ways you interacted in these fandoms? (Reading fanfic, writing, commenting, watching videos, chatting with friends, making art, or anything else you can think of).
1. reading fanfic
2. looking at fanart
3. bookmarking fanworks (and less often commenting on them)
4. chatting on DW
5. modding a fannish community

What are the top five things you did to contribute to fandom in terms of time? Did you write? Comment? Send positive energy into the universe? Create art?
1. encouraged fannish activity by being a visible audience via kudos, bookmarks, comments, squeeful conversation etc.
2. maintained [community profile] fanart_recs
3.
4.
5.

What things did you create that took the most time?

Have to skip this one, because I didn't create anything in 2021.

Have a Top 5 List you'd like to share?? By all means!

How about 5 podcasts I enjoyed last year?
1. Rusty Quill Gaming
2. Double Love
3. The Magnus Archives
4. Learning the Tropes
5. Maintenance Phase
ratcreature: RatCreature with an ear-trumpet: What? (what?)
...is that I sometimes do not understand what is said, no matter how often I replay a section. It doesn't matter so much with news or other non-fiction, where mostly context fills in the gap, but it really annoys me in narrative podcasts. And unlike with tv, there is no subtitle option.

(BTW if anyone has listened to the latest Rusty Quill Gaming podcast, 191, and understood the last sentence Gragg is saying about quiche, that apparently was amusing, could you tell me? I replayed that bit four times and it just never resolves into meaning.)

I am now caught up on the main storyline (all 180+ episodes) as well as a good number of specials, even though I only started to listen to it this January. This certainly explains why I haven't read a single book yet this year...

And now I have to wait to find out what happens next.
ratcreature: Flail! (flail)
After coming across squeeing in [personal profile] rydra_wong's journal about The Magnus Archives, I spent most of my time the last couple of days catching up with that podcast. The individual episodes are only about twenty minutes each, but well, as of now, at the end of season four of a planned five, there are 160 of it, so that adds up.

Fortunately I can do things like eating or cooking while listening to podcasts, and the 31st has recently been made a holiday again (not for Halloween, but as Reformation Day), so it was only moderately life disrupting, but the podcast is kind of ridiculously compelling.

If you haven't heard of the podcast, there's a framing conceit of an archive collecting testimonies of various horrible and creepy things that happen to people, but the short stories you hear interconnect at certain points so that you discover more of the underlying mythology and background history, and the archive staff also become protagonists in the events that you see unfold in the framework bits.

Horror normally is not my genre of choice at all, because I *like* happy endings, and those aren't really a genre feature of horror, especially not in the cosmic horror kind. Also I get really attached to main characters, and that is ill advised too.

And yet, here I am spoilery for the season four finale )

And now I have to wait until *April* for season five.
