What were your top 5 fandom spaces (Discord, Twitter, etc.) you experienced fandom in terms of time spent?
1. Dreamwidth
2. AO3
3. Discord - this really moved up this past year
4. Tumblr - this has gone down significantly. I used to be on tumblr way more than I am now
5. Twitter - I don't spend time there often but there are a few people still actively posting Smallville/Clois stuff so I check that out

What are the top 5 things you did to contribute to fandom in terms of time? Did you write? Comment? Send positive energy into the universe? Create art?
1. created a community (comment_bingo)
2. Wrote fanfic
3. Read and commented on fanfic
4. Made icons (and for the first time, for other people for fandomtrees)
5. Co-modded another year of an exchange (rarefemslashexchange)

What were your top 5 most appreciated fandom contributions? (i.e. in terms of likes, kudos, reblogs, comments, etc.)
I just went with the kudos count on AO3 and ngl, #1 surprised even me lol
1. the best fit (Gilmore Girls, Rory/Paris, Teen, 10.2k) - written for the fffx
To avoid being set up, Rory blurts out that she's dating Paris. The only problem is that she definitely isn't, and now the whole town thinks she is.
2. you feel like home (MCU, Sam/Bucky, Teen, 2.8k) - written for chocolateboxcomm
Bucky starts wearing Captain America gear to bother Sam.
3. a dream is a wish (your heart makes) (MCU, Sam/Bucky, Teen, 10.4k) - written for fffx
When Bucky's in stasis, he dreams without realizing it, and part of that includes a happy marriage to Sam. Reality takes some getting readjusted to.
4. you keep me warm (MCU, Sam/Bucky, Teen, 300w)
When the heater breaks, Sam and Bucky are forced to share a bed.
5. you can take me anywhere (MCU, Sam/Bucky, Teen, 6.4k) - written for fandom5k
Bucky offers to be accompany Sam to future events that he has to be at and it ends up bringing them closer.

Have a Top 5 List you'd like to share?? By all means!

You created comment_bingo? Awesome! Thanks for doing that -- I've seen so many people interacting with it.

Yup! I actually got the idea from Snowflake last year, thanks to someone putting it on their 'fandom wishes' list. I'm so glad to hear that! I've been very grateful for the positive response. :D

Yum! 🧁🧁🧁

Ha, my fandom contributions are pretty run-of-the-mill: writing, reading and commenting! ☺️

[svgurl]

Thanks!

Nothing wrong with run of the mill - those are all great things that keep fandom going. :D

[corvidology]

Creating a com and modding an exchange are major contributions to fandom apart from all the rest of the things you listed. ♥

[svgurl]

I've had a great time doing both and I was happy to see a good amount of engagement, which definitely makes it even more worth it! ♥ :D

[royalblue31]

Loving your Top 5 list! Those cupcakes look so good!

[svgurl]

Thanks! I have decided that baking counts as a fandom so it gets in there lol :D

[hamsterwoman]

All the baked stuff looks so pretty! I especially like the swirly look of the marble cupcakes

[svgurl]

Thank you! It was a recipe by Sally's Baking and she did it like that and I was excited to give it a try too. :D

[kingstoken]

Thank you for making those fandomtrees icons, I'm sure people were delighted to get them

[svgurl]

I was both nervous and excited but people seemed to like them, which was exciting, since my writing muses were MIA lol Thanks for running it! :D

[pronker]

The exquisite results of baking and especially the piping, wow!

"Sharing warmth" is a trope for the ages - I never tire of it. :)

[svgurl]

Thank you! I love to decorate and it has been fun practicing different techniques. :D

For sure! I saw it on my recip's likes and I had to give it a shot. :D

[ultra_fic]

Look at you with all your super talents and achievements - I'm so impressed! Of course, you know this already, but it bears repeating, I think. Your baking always looks delicious and I bet it tastes the same, plus you started a community and run an exchange and everything. Amazing! :)

[svgurl]

Aww, you're too kind! Thank you! If only we had some sort of food teleportation where we could trade baked goods lol I never feel like I do as much as I can so it is nice to look back and realize I did something. :D

[ultra_fic]

Yes, we definitely need a baked goods teleportation system! Ah, if only such a thing were possible :)

[svgurl]

Totally! I joke about it with one of my friends all the time. It would be so great, especially as I see all these delicious looking food on instagram only to realize it is thousands of miles away. :D

[pianogurl330]

All your baking creations look beautiful and so yummy! :)

[svgurl]

Thank you! :D

[scintilla10]

Aww, yay, it's always cool to realize a femslash fic is so popular! :D

Love your top 5 baked goods!!

It was a pleasant surprise, especially I didn't know the ship still had that many fans, and I was a little nervous about it to begin with. :D

Thank you! ♥
