10 Ships that ruled 2012

These are not my favorite ships (although some of my favs did make the list), these are the ships that I think have had the most impact this year. These ships either have super active fandoms, win all the polls, are the most talked or simply have the most potential. That said, I’m not an impartial observer and I don’t pretend to be – this list comes from my own observations and it’s the best that I can come up with when I have a killer hangover.

Top 5 Movies of 2012

My lovely friend Rach, who recently asked me to compile a list of the best Skins moments, has set me another challenge – what are my favourite movies of 2012. As 2012 is not yet over, I know it’s almost the end but The Hobbit is coming out and that will hopefully make it’s way into any 2012 lists, it’s not a definitive list… but it’s the best I can do at the moment.

My Top Ten Slash Ships

You might remember that in the last Shipping News, I talked about the fact that AfterElton is currently holding the Ultimate Slash Madness Tournament - in which 32 of our favourite slash couples are battling it out for the title of Ultimate Slash Champion. Now it’s pretty easy to guess that I am a tad excited about this poll, I mean I love me some slash and I can never say no to good poll but I have discovered recently that I might be in minority in this (at least outside fandom circles). So in order to drum up some excitement from my family and friends I have compiled a list of my top 10 slash ships (not all of them are in the poll but I still love them so they are here).

5 Blockbusters I am literally squeeing in anticipation of in 2012.

I don’t know whether it’s just that whoever is doing the trailers at the moment is brilliant or what but I am excited for movies this year. 2012 is shaping up to be a big year for blockbusters with some of the most anticipated films ever hitting our screens.

These films need little introduction; you’ve probably already been saturated with propaganda but goodness they’re captivating. These are the films that cause people to line the streets for hours and I am not even ashamed to say that I will be one of those people. So without further ado these are the five films my fangirl heart is beating for in 2012.

Marvellous Marvel: What's so good about Thor and why am I so excited about The Avengers?

A rather long review, that turned into my life story/love letter to Joss Whedon.
