4. Game of Thrones
5. Shadow and Bone

5. Reddit

What are the top five ways you interacted in these fandoms? 
1. Chatting/Discussion
2. Writing fic/meta
3. Making GIFsets/edits/icons
4. Commenting on people's pieces (fic and art and edits and vids - I think they are all art, and that everybody wants to hear that their work had an impact.)
5. Reblogging/Retweeting/Reccing other people's pieces to spread that love

What are the top five things you did to contribute to fandom in terms of time? 
1. Write fic/meta (enough to bump TQG into my top fandoms ever on AO3)
2. Make GIFsets/edits/icons 
3. Talk on the B2 server
4. Comment on people's pieces
5. Beta people's fic

What things did you create that took the most time?
1. An Exchange of Kings - took me three months to write these four chapters that are roughly winter, spring, summer, fall and subsequent winter post-canon
2. Skittles - Four missing scene one-shots from Exchange-verse. Most of these were presents, so I worked on them for at least a week each. Yes, I know one is only 700 words; that is how long I take to write. 😅
3. Joy and Harmonny for the Season - 3 holiday fics to prompts, two of which also fit in Exchange-verse. 
4. Playing the Rush - I don't usually write 7000 words of anything so quickly - this took me about ten days and just kind of poured out. The editing process was a lot longer - bet you can't guess which two scenes I added from scratch at the behest of my beta, but the fic is so much better for it!
5. Beth in White/Benny in Black 2.0 GIFset this took me three days to make, and was the most complicated GIFset I had made until that point.  

Some amazing fanart from last year! (ETA: I have decided to be spectacularly bad at counting to 5. Fanart is the tag I use most on tumblr because I see soooo many amazing pieces cross my dash all the time!)
1. Beth "sketch" - there is so much amazing fanart on twitter but I usually find it from links on discord. 
2. Inej Ghafa/Kaz Brekker fanart - the details!!!
3. Beth/Benny missing scene art - this is a scene from the book that wasn't in the series. The longing in her expression is just perfection! 🥺
