I've also seen a variation covering the entire decade, which... tomorrow, maybe? If I manage? Or later?

Your main fandom this year? While I remain committed to my multifandom-ism, the later half of 2019 was decidedly skewered towards talking and reading 18th century history, main, though not exclusive emphasis on the Prussian part of it. And me a Southern German, too. (There are about a thousand anti-Prussian outbursts etched into the Franconian-Bavarian consciousness, let me tell you that. Goddam Prussians.) I blame

cahn and

mildred_of_midgard, gratefully so.)

Your favourite film watched this year? Of those new to me, probably Tel Aviv on Fire, directed by Sameh Zoabi, which I saw at this year's Munich Film Festival, and reviewed here. In terms of rewatching, I was reminded just some weeks ago how very very good Amadeus was.

Your favourite book read this year? Novels: "Sorceror to the Crown" (and its sequel) by Zen Cho, reviewed here. Non-Fiction: While Becoming Superman by J. Michael Stracynski certainly was one of the most moving (and disturbing, intentionally and justifiedly so) books I've read this year, see here, my non-fiction fave of the year award goes to the diaries of one Ernst Ahasverus von Lehndorff. Will explain why in one post of the January meme.

Your favourite tv show of the year? Watchmen, which I never would have expected going in. Runner up, not nearly as good in terms of quality and more in the "entertaining historical melodrama" kind of things, are I Medici, both seasons. (Season no.3 is shown in Italy right now, I think, but I won't be able to watch until it becomes available in Germany, so I can't say anything about it.)

Your best new fandom discovery of the year? Debating dysfunctional Hohenzollern, just slightly more functional Habsburgs and various somewhat more sane contemporaries putting up with them with

cahn and

mildred_of_midgard.

Your biggest fandom disappointment? The King, aka adapting the Henriad to feel both like the blandest Any Two Guys fanfiction without the slash. This despite good actors available.

Your tv boyfriend of the year? Tentatively eyeing Christopher Pike, Star Trek: Discovery version for this category here. Not that I support all of your decisions, Chris, but mostly you were just the right type of supportive boss and kind explorer to help our heroine and her friends through another adventurous year, and your canonically fixed future is now absolutely heartbreaking to me.

Your tv girlfriend of the year? Contessina de' Medici, nee Contessina de' Bardi, in her I Medici variation. Who is awesome.

Your biggest squee moment of the year? On a purely personal level? Two wonderful Yuletide gifts for me, from two different fandoms. I still want to draw hearts around both stories.

The most missed of your old fandoms? I've missed the Doctor on my screen and await the return of Team TARDIS eagerly.

The fandom you haven’t tried yet, but want to? Many, many. The list keeps growing. Still haven't gotten around to The Expanse, for example, but I will, I will!
