December daily meme

resonantYou know what? I'm going to do this December daily meme (last seen chez isagel). "December starts on the fourth" is both an accurate self-portrait and a pretty decent rule of thumb for dealing with the universe.
So. Pick a date, comment me with a topic, and on that date I will write about that topic for you. If I don't know anything about the topic, I'll make something up.
(Alternately, for your day you could make a request and I could post you a piece of Christmas music that matches. If you want music rather than words, be sure to specify.)
December 4:jedusaur: I will take December fourth, since otherwise your month will be five days late. Can you talk about your feelings on the evolution of fandom infrastructure over the years? I'm only 23 and I feel like a dinosaur when I try to figure out Tumblr fandom.
December 5:out_there: Current TV crushes. Who are they? Why them? Have your tastes in TV crushes changed over time?
December 6:jelazakazone: First fandom. What got you excited and revved up about it? Were you surprised to find yourself falling into fandom?
December 7:majoline: favorite headcanon?
December 8:taliahale: Magical AUs (be they magical realism, high fantasy, whatever) yay/nay?
December 9:karmageddon: What's your fic unicorn : the story you would read the hell out of, if only it existed?
December 10:terrio: What is your favorite pet you've ever interacted with (either yours or someone else's) and why?
December 11:tevere: What's life in your new city like? Is it very different from where you were before?
December 12:krait: What's the most beautiful place you've ever been?
December 13:china_shop: Do you re-read your own fic for fun? If so, how do you feel about it and if not, why not?
December 14:cesperanza: Do you have any tips for us newbies? How do you come up with such original sensory details while the rest of us mortals are doing "Scully smelled like strawberries" or "sandalwood and something else that was pure Blair?" TIPS PLS!
December 15:wychwood: What is your very favourite Christmas music? What makes good Christmas music for you? Which one CD etc would you recommend?
December 16:armadillo1976: If you could ask BBC Sherlock's John Watson a single question, what would you ask him and why? And Sherlock - what would you ask him?
December 17:rhi: what story did you most enjoy writing?
December 18:james: Any date: if you could design your own television series, what would it be like? Premise, actors, story arcs, etc!
December 19:norah: Is your kid aware of the extent of your fannish involvement? How have you two navigated that? Is she fannish, and how? What about your partner?
December 20:terrio: Just for fun: What are your top 5 grammatical pet peeves? (can also include misspellings, misused words, etc.)
December 21:woldy: Favorite plotbunny that you've never written?
December 22:
December 23:krait: What Christmas traditions did you grow up with? Do you still follow most of them? What traditions have you started on your own?
December 24:minutia_r: Small fandoms: the ones you've written for, the ones where there's this one great fic, the ones you wish existed?
December 25:mific: What's the most fun psychoactive substance you ever used? Give us an anecdote! (question brought to you by the 'drugs and alcohol' and 'sex pollen' squares of trope bingo).
December 26:ranalore: fannish soundtracks?
December 27:nestra: You seem to have unusual taste in music (which I mean as a compliment). Where did you pick up some of the stuff you like? Where do you find new music?
December 28:via_ostiense: favorite vegetable dish
December 29:gurrier: female characters. Favourites, pet peeves, anything that comes to mind!
December 30:minxy: a fannish follow-up to the headcanon question from the 7th (which you are welcome to revisit if this question doesn't apply): Are there any head-fixes for shows that you adopt as canon? A jump the shark that you pretend didn't happen, or an episode that makes no sense and you've rewritten in your head?
December 31:laurenthemself: What is your favourite memory of New Year's Eve?
