For me it was Staged with David Tennant and Michael Sheen.

The Thursday concerts were pretty fun. Also enjoyed some virtual anime cons.

Maybe Animal Crossing: New Horizons, simply because so many people I knew were playing it and we were all active and visiting each other because for awhile we didn't have a lot else to do since we were stuck at home. ;)

evermore by Taylor Swift

The podcast Knowledge Fight. I listened to over 500 hours of it in a year.

The After series audiobooks kept me partially sane. Thank you, Harry Styles fanfic turned real published books

Animal Crossing New Horizons kept me sane through lockdown and gave me something to focus on rather than the existential dread and anxiety that built up over having no control over the situation. I'm now on my fifth island and just starting to redo my main communal area, 1500+hrs later.

Andrew Lloyd Webber may be an asshole, but him putting a bunch of his shows on Youtube made for some *amazing* Discord drink-and-mock nights. I've never laughed so hard as I did when making fun of Love Never Dies with my friends.

I am so sad that I couldn't get into a lot of theatre and concerts online. Some of them are my only chances to watch pandemic or not. But I just couldn't.
I was really into local guide guy who talked a lot about my city. He still does pretty great videos.
I am into audio drama podcasts to start with, but I was obsessed with SAYER in the first months. Apparently my comfort media is dystopia

Ashes of Love. This huge, silly, terrible, grand story where the only love-story I wasn't drastically invested in was, uh, the main one...

Online trivia. Trivia Galaxy is just some much fun.

Folklore by Taylor Swift, Inside by Bo Burnham, and when like forty million people watched ATLA in the span of a couple months.

Not my favorite but for some reason I got very into Gordon Ramsey trashing bad restaurants on youtube during lockdown, especially the uncensored versions.

Is fanmix culture on the wane? I make a lot of playlists in general, fanmixes especially, and aside from my YouTube account, I'm never sure where to store or share them.

I've tried Reddit and Twitter with no real success. I don't use Spotify and don't want to. Is 8tracks still viable? It used to be my jam but I never went back after it got rebooted.

Point is, I want other fans to indulge my fantasy of being a radio DJ. Also to share stuff I like in the context of other stuff I like, and to talk about the music and the fandom itself.

I used to LOVE 8TRACKS!

I haven't logged into it for a long while, so idk. But what I have seen is people posting their fanmix tracklist or playlist link (YT/Spotify) on the A/N of their fic or in the beginning of chapter one. So maybe there?

Honestly I would stick to making tracklists and having a separate YT account for the playlists. Sigh. I remember back when you could download the zip of all the songs, the person made a tracklist and even had pretty album cover art. LJ days.

Damn I miss those days. I loved doing fanmixes, cover art and all.
8tracks sort of works, but no one seems to use it.
I hate spotify with passion.
I've uploaded couple of mixes on Ao3, but it's mostly a miss, this is not a good site for archiving content that is not text

Man, I miss the old LJ fanmix culture so much! I miss full track lists, and cover art, and carefully chosen lyric snippets, and maybe even meta for each track (and okay the entire fanmix in a convenient zipfile was pretty nice too). Good times.

why the hate for spotify? it's where I make all my playlists now and am slowly importing my 8Tracks mixes to. I link to them in the author's notes of my fic.

8tracks used to be amazing, god tier, especially with 8hacks around to let you download the playlists. But now you can listen to one playlist and you must wait EIGHT HOURS before you can listen to another one so if you picked the wrong one for writing or didn't write fast enough? TOO BAD FOR YOU, etc. They also have the two-songs-per-artist rule that can cripple some of my playlists eventually.

spotify has been a godsend for me. I'm listening to it right now and it has never failed to produce what I was looking for, even local indie bands I hear on the the local radio night our rock station does. and the ability to loop tracks for writing!

Bump, if needed

There's a list of a dozen or so on this website - more to come i future. Ranging from time travel to Age of Sail adventure.

Please let us know if you ever post it/do your own take. Thank you!

I feel like I hate it more than Monday.
