Challenge #15: Fandom Snowflake Challenge's 2023 Fandom Wrapped!

Your top 5 fandoms for 2023 were:
N/A (But maybe Nirvana in Fire, because I revived my AO3 to comment on NiF Exchange works XD)

Your top 5 fandom spaces (Discord, Twitter, etc.) in 2023 were:
Twitter + occasional Discord. Dreamwidth for myself.

The top 5 things you did to contribute to fandom in 2023 were:
By my own metric:


• Another year of (Chinese & Taiwanese media) watchparties...
  
• Another year of fansubbing (really, too many to summarize)...
  
• Oh No! Here Comes Trouble fancomic fantranslation (just because I think asking + waiting for permission is the pinnacle of hard work XD)
  
• Modu/Justice in the Dark GIFs + recs + translations
  
• A couple of niche (in the Anglosphere) cdrama fanvids (that were also translation vids lol)
  
  Your top 5 most appreciated fandom contributions were:
  Subbed variety show clips (Meng Ziyi, Tan Jianci, and Tan Songyun fans sure showed up for them!):
  
  
• Tan Songyun + Zhang Xincheng phone call (Our Inn)
  
• All These Years MVs, variety show clips, behind-the-scenes, promotional videos... I subbed nearly all of them, which... yeah, never again.
  
• This Tan Jianci + Zhang Xincheng (Our Inn ep10) shitpost????
  
• Meng Ziyi in a Hi6 special ep that wasn't officially posted on Youtube
  
• Modu audiodrama S5 livetweet + fansubs thread
  
  Your fandom personality in 2023 was: (i.e. Fandom Eeyore, Twitter Refugee, Discord Party Animal, etc.)
  Hater (of cdramas, cmovies, cnovels lol). Copyright Strike Struggler (thanks Zhejiang!!!). Tired But Showed Up. Watchparty Mod.
  
  In 2023, you discovered: (that you adore hockey RPF, but you hate the Liberty Mutual emu, etc.)
  That even basic Taiwanese is incomprehensible to me lmfao. That I was tired of c-ent fandom across all spaces... That the fansub projects I enjoyed doing the most were lyric subtitles... And that I do like working with people (friends) on fandom things.
  
  Your fandom home in 2023 was: (Bluesky, Mastodon, Middle Earth, lying in my bed, with a good book, etc.)
  Twitter, but it's not a fun place anymore since the algorithm just pushes high-engagement content now (fandom drama, dumb non-fandom discourse and engagement bait, and whatever people are fighting about in Chronically Online PH Twitter). :( And the one Discord, because it was nice to be able to just check in on weekends and have a sort of movie/television club and it was pretty much a server of 5.
