Overall Fandoms of the Year:

See…everything above

Your Main Fandom of the Year:

Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Always.

The Most Missed of Your Old Fandoms:

Unsure of how to answer this one. I wish that Veronica Mars and The West Wing were a bit more active, if that’s what it’s asking.

Predictions for Next Year:

That I will find more television to love? That I will ship loads and loads? That I will write fic but not as much I wish to? That I will generally be a flailysqueeyfangirly mess? Basically that life will continue on very much as it has for this past age?
