For the month of April, I’m breaking out of my usual “format” and showcasing one of my favorite fandoms a day, so I will have shiny things to make me smile every day of my birthday month. When I sat down to write the list of my top 30 fandoms, I found the task terribly hard. How do I choose just 30? My apologies to all my beloved fandoms left off the list. I’m using random.org to determine what fandom gets what day.

I’m doing a new format for April, but I couldn’t resist April Fool’s Day. So I thought I’d share some of my favorite fandom-related April Fool’s moments. It used to be a big tradition in the Harry Potter fandom, in honor of the twins’ birthday, so the list is heavy with Harry Potter items.
This was an interesting quiz. With so many possible choices, the number of questions and number of choices seemed pretty limited. So I was curious to see what characters were the possible results.
Quiz: What Female Marvel Character Are You?
Answer: 
Thoughts: Wow. Not even. Sure, I’m loyal like Jean… and I guess sometimes she seems quiet and unassuming and I like the bit about being loved & cared for… but the rest? How did it come up with that result for me? I swear I’m not going dark phoenix any time soon–yikes! Nor do I have any desire to be admired or be the most powerful anything (quite the opposite, in fact). I was secretly hoping for Sue Storm, honestly. And I was really hoping to not get Black Widow (because I am none of the things she is: brave, manipulative, clever, secretive, etc.).
I recently went to Seattle for work (okay, as I’m typing this, I’m still in Seattle, stranded because of cancelled flights and a foot of snow back home, but maybe I’ll be home by the time this scheduled post goes live). I didn’t get much time to explore the city, but I did purchase a few fandom items… because that’s just how I roll.
Also, two of these items might be presents for one of my online friends whose username might be abbreviated L.K. So don’t read this if that’s you or you will be spoiled!
And not the good kind of crying, either. This is a list of ways Joss Whedon broke my heart. But he’s so damn good at it, I can’t help but love him. Not a single tear went to waste, though. Like he says, he gives us what we need, not what we want.
BEWARE: SO MANY SPOILERS IN THIS LIST! SO MANY! ALL THE SPOILERS! BEWARE!
