Challenge #10 Five Things! The five things are totally up to you.

I'm doing 'firsts' as a sort of theme:

1. First movie I watched this year: The Mario Brothers Movie (2023)
The first movie I watched last year: Sing 2016 - Last movie I watched last year: Shazam 2 Fury of the Gods 2023

2. My first fic posted to AO3 last year was Nothing Is Impossible a Deception (TV 2018) post-canon fic.
My last fic posted to AO3 last year was Deck The Halls With Boughs of Holly (Even Geralt Should be Jolly) a crack modern au Witcher fic for lands_of_magic. I haven't yet yet posted to AO3 this year.

3. My most popular, that is my fic that has been bookmarked the most at AO3 is There's No Healing the Wound, a Good Omens hurt/comfort fic.
My most viewed fic of 2023 is Precious Moments a Magnum PI (2018) fluff fic with 641 hits

4. AO3 tells me I posted to the archive last year a total of 74,603 words. The first in terms of length, i.e. the longest of these was A Convenient Warlock a DC's Legends of Tomorrow Weird West AU with Sara Lance/John Constantine for unconventionalcourtship with 16,996 words.
The shortest fic was a double drabble (200 words) Grooming a The Witcher (TV) piece with the summary Hair brushing can be an act of quiet intimacy written for genprompt_bingo

5. This year I sang karaoke for the first time at a church fundraiser. It was a really fun evening with a buffet provided and some group singalongs so everyone could get involved (the closing song of Sweet Caroline raised the roof!) I sang the "Ghostbusters" theme by Ray Parker Jr with my older nephew - this was fun as everyone joined in yelling "Ghostbusters!" and then by myself I sang "Call Me Maybe" by Carly Rae Jepsen.

While I don’t know if I would dare do it in public, I definitely remember Christmas karaoke with the family being fun at the time!

[meridian_rose]

I never believed I'd sing in public but this was mostly people I knew at least a little so it was less scary! Family karaoke is probably the best :D

How brave of you to do karaoke! I'd love to do karaoke, I've just got to find a place nearby that does it.🎵

[meridian_rose]

Thank you! I knew most of the people there at least a little bit so it was less scary! I hope you get chance to try it out. Do you have a particular song you might choose?

[kitarella_imagines]

That sounds lovely. I'd probably choose a 70s or 80s song that has an actual tune. But I don't go out much these days so I don't know when I'd be able to do it 😕

I saw the Mario Brothers movie with my kids they all loved it. I thought it was entertaining too.

Congrats on the successful Karaoke! It sounds like a lot of fun.

I enjoyed Mario than I expected - my fave was the Rainbow Road part which I'm familiar with because my nephews like to try and make me play that part on "Mario Kart Wii" and I am absolutely terrible at it. Cue them laughing in-between asking "how do you even keep falling off the edge?!"

It was a lot of fun and a great evening thank you :D
