Your top 5 fandoms for 2023 were:

I started this year still continuing my sui generis rewatch of The Vampire Diaries. It was inspired by "stacked natural", this thing started by Supernatural fans where they rewatched the episodes of the show in the anniversary of their airing date, instead of in order. I decided I would do it with MY favourite problematic, cynical, seen-as-silly-due-to-genre-conceptions-but-quite-sharp-about-human-nature CW show. AND I had a blast doing it. It's all on my tumblr under the tag "stackediaries".

After that I had a very brief love affair with Yellowjackets. I binge-watched the first season just as the second started airing. I loved it. The second season... eh. It didn't quite land for me. I still haven't watched the season's finale and I don't know if I will. I'd have to hear great things about season 3 from my trusted dash.

IIRC it was around the same time when I started dipping my toes back into the DCU, which is definitely my star fandom of 2023 (and will predictably be the star fandom in 2024). I finally caught up with Young Justice, I started to read comics in earnest again (with a focus on Jason Todd, determined to read all the appareances I hadn't read or missed since I dropped comics, but I inevitably expanded my interests), I watched and rewatched some films, I rewatched Gotham (or what I call The Baby Batcat cut. Which means I kind of skip/half-watch scenes of subplots I don't find as interesting. Tbf that doesn't mean I only watch Bruce and Selina because there WERE other parts of the show I loved LOL, but they are my main focus)... and so on.

I think this fandom counts by at least 5 all by itself, so I'll stop counting here. Especially since I haven't really participated in others, with the exception of a couple I'll mention in a moment.


Your top 5 fandom spaces in 2023 were:

Tumblr remains my number 1. It has its downsides and it's not as active as it used to be, but I make do. Especially when I put in some effort. It's where My People are, it's where I keep finding more. I can post pretty gifsets, AND more involved meta posts (although those get the least attention lol), AND my random bouts of bitchiness :P

Discord has been a nice one as well. I'm not in a lot of groups because I struggle keeping up, but the ones that I participate in are small and filled with my writer friends.

Reddit has been one I've used more this year! It can exasperate the HELL out of me but it can also be pretty fun. And I don't mind getting into an argument with a troll once in a while. I have my fun trolling back LOL.

Other than thatt I didn't really use other spaces much. I didn't post any fic, although I did read & comment in some in ao3. I commented in some author's substacks and ko-fis. I have platforms like twitter and so on but I rarely if ever use them tbh. They just don't work for me.
