5 fandom-related things you are thankful for. 
(Feel free to interpret this however you wish: thankful for a sequel, thankful for no sequel, thankful for a kink meme, thankful character X got a good death, thankful actor Z is going to be in QRS, etc.)

My pleasure. Let's see:

1.) Being Human, season 3.  After feeling so-so about season 1 and being so infuriated by a lot of s2 I was not sure whether or not to continue, season 3 proved to be as amazing an example of unjumping the shark/growing the beard as they come. Consequences got served, relentlessly. Characters I had lost sympathy for regained them (with one exception, and that was part of the seasonal point), characters I already loved were even more awesome while still remaining capable of their own mistakes. In short, season 3 rocked.  And before you ask, yes, I know about the other casting spoiler, and that's regrettable, but we'll always have the amazing season 3.

2. Raven/Mystique in X-Men: First Class. Actually, I'm grateful for the whole film, which despite the flaws revitalized not just my own enthusiasm for the movieverse, but what I'm more grateful for than for any other aspect is Raven,  not least because as opposed to the Charles/Erik slashiness, her part in XMFC was something I had not expected, so from the moment the trailers indicated she would have a major role and that she and Charles met each other as children, I  never stopped being pleasantly surprised.  Not only did her role here took the bad taste out of my mouth her treatment in X3 had left, but the whole finding herself arc plus the sibling relationship with Charles hit several of my favourite narrative kinks. Lastly: the fact she didn't just name herself but Erik and Charles as well will never not make me happy.

3.)  Ficathons, their organizers and participants, not limited to but exemplified by Remix and Yuletide. Without them, a lot of the fannish joy and interaction would be missing, not to mention personal challenges to me as a writer, and I really, really appreciate them.

4.) The Borgias. Thank you, Neil Jordan. It was everything I hoped it would be, full of Renaissance atmosphere, with great performances and beautiful cinematography, using its ensemble instead of wasting it, and above all, had interesting female characters with interesting relationships to each other, not just the men in their lives. 

5.) Feedback even on old stories.  No matter whether it's a short "great story", or a lengthy analysis, I'm pleased as punch everytime someone leaves a comment on one of my stories. ( Excepting the occasional "why did you make William gay?" weirdness.)  It's something specific to the internet age and fannish interaction that I treasure, and when it happens to old stories, it also evokes the glow of nostalgia to boot.
