My calender tells me it's 2024.
It feels like I haven't really done a lot this year. I mean, I definitely haven't been productive fic-wise. It's - year before last, I felt I was just getting in a roll with a fic and then I had to stop writing it because I had to write a Yuletide fic, which - well, the recip read it, at least. Anyway, this year I swore off exchanges, but I haven't been able to refind it. All I've written are three crossover ficlets in Danish - one MDZS/Word of Honor, one Narnia/Sandman and one Good Omens/Murder She Wrote.
I wish I could claim I had been superproductive in other parts of my life, but... I've worked, been on a couple of vacations - 5 days of springtime vacation in Berlin (lovely city, must visit again, can recommend the computer game museum) + a couple of days in the summer in Lund (very nice, though probably won't visit again - might repeat the couple of days somewhere in easy reach thing, though).
I've read a fair amount - you can find the complete list on Goodreads. A little bit of this, a little bit of that - got through both The Scum Villain's Self-Saving System (quite fun) and Heaven Official's Blessing (technically speaking MXTX's best written, but just not quite as engaging as the other two), read a few books on asexuality - rec: Refusing compulsory sexuality; bunch of comics, the autobiography from the first lady detective in Denmark - stuff.
Watched a few movies and shows - some fun: I think my favourite movie this year was "Ta' det som en mand, frue?", a 70s feminist movie with about half the time dedicated to a what-if-men-and-women-swapped places segment; and the Onmyoji anime on Netflix was also fun. A couple of things - sadly including Good Omens season 2 - were more disappointing - and I've almost stopped watching MCU. I watched the new Black Panther because Namor, mostly. Anyway, I've listed the full set below, mostly for my own sake.
