And That's The Word

Start of Part 3. As of this point, I had 40% of the audiobook left to go, and 1 week until it returned. So these next 2 posts will cover the final 2/5 of the book.

Light spoilers for the whole book in my annotations; comments are a free-for-all. Previous HDM-related posts on DW; see also The Reaction Posts of Dust on AO3.

Didn’t bother putting screencaps in this one. Too much of it was either “new elements introduced in the sequel trilogy” or “things that didn’t get visually adapted in the TV series.”

Onward.

Down to 1135 fandoms total. (As of this posting, there are 24 total with any tags that need wrangling.)

So, dropped about 50 over the past month. Including almost all the random little fandoms that aren’t “part of a tag tree I’m actively keeping” or “webcomics.”

The update I’m considering to the Fake News fandom tree would, if approved, shrink my fandom count by 2. But my next requested additions to the Madoka Magica tree, if approved, could grow it by up to 4 again.

Haven’t started the planned “another full A-to-Z pass through all the webcomic fandoms.” For the past month-ish, I’ve been using a lower-key strategy of “inviting other wranglers to take whichever half-dozen tiny webcomics got new tags this week.” On the theory that, if the comics are popular enough to have new-fic-writing fans, they’re more likely to have fellow-wrangler fans.

It’s worked for a few! Biggest win: a couple of non-English-language comics, which I was able to pass to a wrangler who’s a native speaker of the language.

I’ve also recently been involved in an effort to solicit wranglers for some of the currently-untouched “Religion & Lore” fandoms. So my giveaway posts are spaced-out between recruiting posts for fandoms that aren’t on my list in the first place. (Some of them are very small, only 1-2 works total, it would take no extra effort to just pick them up for babysitting myself…but that would really offset my fandom-dropping progress.)
