Challenge #15

Fandom Snowflake Challenge's 2023 Fandom Wrapped!

Post your answer to today’s challenge in your own space and leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Your top 5 fandoms for 2023 were: Doctor Who, The Adventures of Sir Lancelot and, uh, a variety of Conrad Veidt films. Insert something here about quality over quantity or smth.

Your top 5 fandom spaces (Discord, Twitter, etc.) in 2023 were: Tumblr, here, and, uh, Pillowfort? I started using it again.

The top 5 things you did to contribute to fandom in 2023 were: Draw fanart! I started writing again! I made (bad) gifs! I started messing with icons a bit more seriously. I thought of writing meta (keyword is "thought")

Your top 5 most appreciated fandom contributions were: Lots of people loved the "tickets to the Barbie movie" First Doctor era art, same goes for my showcase of One era aliens. That was nice.

Bonus questions:

Your fandom personality in 2023 was: (i.e. Fandom Eeyore, Twitter Refugee, Discord Party Animal, etc.) Cryptid. I exist, but not at the same time. Also Non-Existant Fandom Lover.

In 2023, you discovered: more so re-discovered. Ten years ago or so I watched The Cabinet of Dr Caligari for the first time. I liked the man who did Cesare. I continued watching weird 1920s German films, he kept showing up. He became one of my favourite actors, but I was too busy with Classic Who.

That is to say, last year I rewatched Caligari (as I usually do every year or so), it hit differently, and I'm officially a Veidt girlie (gender neutral)

Your fandom home in 2023 was: Tumblr. It has been so for the past almost 10 years (dear lord...) I love Dreamwidth and the community here, so of course I come and hang out as often as I can. My brain is pretty cool too, but a little dangerous, I wouldn't go there without the necessary safety precautions.
