This was a pretty bad year for Youmu with no notable appearance in any official works other than a few cameos and we've also seen less fan art. I'm a bit pessimistic about the 2018 popularity poll.

Youmu Fan Art on Pixiv in 2017
In 2017 Youmu fan art on Pixiv has again diminished a bit, but it's still relatively stable above 5k/year.
Manga submissions, however, have diminished substantially.
This shows that the declining amount of fan art can't be solely explained by the popularity of "matome" manga submissions.
That being said, older manga submissions tend to be genuine manga, so there's definitely a steep decline in that category.
The graph doesn't take into account that matome submissions are also more likely to be untagged than single illustrations, but bear in mind that the same thing can be said for the past few years.
Furthermore, the graph also neglects that older illustrations are more likely to be already deleted, so the actual amount of illustrations in the early years was originally probably much higher.

At this year's Reitaisai ZUN gave out omikuji fortunes and among the five types the "little luck" one is represented by Youmu.

I know, it might not even be canon, but here's another fun background cameo of Youmu from the latest chapter of Touhou Sangetsusei ~ Visionary Fairies in Shrine.
We will probably see a continuation of the background cameo in the next chapter.

Youmu appears in one of the guest comics of Strange Creators of Outer World Vol. 6
I'm not sure who the artist is.
On a related note, raw scans of all previous issues are now up on touhouwiki.net, which means that we finally have a proper scan of Masakichi's latest Youmu illustration (pic 2).

For the sake of completion, here's a short digest of news I originally missed or skipped:
Youmu appeared in Chapter 45 of Wild and Horned Hermit
Even though she doesn't have any actual dialogue in the chapter, she appears quite a lot in this one. So it's worth checking out.
I'm not sure whether her inclusion in this one was just artistic freedom by the artist (which I suspect is the case with many background cameos) or actually by ZUN's direction.

ZUN allowed doujin LINE stickers
A while ago ZUN green-lit doujin LINE stickers in addition to the official ones I mentioned previously in >>438 and >>498 .
There are now hundreds of unofficial LINE sticker sets and many include at least one Youmu sticker.
Some are even Youmu-only sticker sets such as the one from Sazanami Mio.
Unfortunately, one of the requirements for the unofficial Touhou stickers forbids them from being published outside Japan, so all of them are region-locked just like the official stickers.

The most recent method I found is this one:

Since there's interest in the topic I might as well post direct links to some of the sticker sets as well.

I completely missed this for over a month, but:
Youmu Appeared as a Major Character in Chapter 47 of Wild and Horned Hermit
And she actually is relevant to the story and has a lot of dialogue.
I think it's safe to say that she will appear in the next chapter as well.
This is the first time in a long time that Youmu doesn't just appear just as a cameo or joke character.
We even learn something new(?) about her:
She is able to converse with phantoms.
She probably does this a lot then.
In any case, I don't remember this being canon before and especially not with her human half.
Is it just me or has azmaya's art style gotten extremely cute lately?

BellFine's Youmu Figurine Is Now Up For Pre-Order
The figurine is available for pre-order on amiami and set to be released on an unannounced date in March.
Contrary to previous information, it's a non-scale model after all.
This is in line with the previous Youmu figurine by Embracejapan and most likely due to Youmu not having an official height.

Unfortunately, Youmu didn't appear in Chapter 48 after all. It's still possible that she will be relevant in one of the following chapters, but I wouldn't get my hopes up.
I guess ZUN only used her to introduce the situation?

ZUN celebrated the 100th Nikennme Radio Event with by raffling off more than 20 sketches (and various other goods), among them two old Youmu sketches from 2005.
The sketches were originally displayed at Ichijinsha's booth during Comiket 69, most likely as advertisement for Bohemian Archive in Japanese Red, which they published.

The 15th Touhou Popularity Poll Will Be The Final One (For Now)
When the date of the 15th Touhou Popularity Poll was announced back in November, the representative of its executive committee Usui also announced that this will be their final Touhou Popularity Poll.
As the main reason for the sudden discontinuation, he cited business in the staff members' lives.
However, Usui also stated that this only meant that the current management would be retiring and if someone else was willing to take over the project, they would consider it and referred to a specifically created recruitment page.
In this scenario, the current management would be phased out and replaced with new members while he would still act as support.
Another possibility would be a completely new Touhou Popularity Poll that would inherit the current one only in name.
In this case, Usui also offers his cooperation if needed.

FlatWork exhibited a prototype of their figurine at Wonder Festival 2019 (Winter).
I think their figurines are limited to events, so it's not that notable.
On somewhat related news Griffon Enterprises, the figurine manufacturer that brought us most of the older Youmu figurines, recently declared bankruptcy.

Youmu Has Been Confirmed to Appear in Touhou Cannonball
Touhou Cannonball is a mobile game developed by corporate developer Quatro A for Aniplex. It seems to be a mobile board game with RPG elements set to be released this year. It also implements gacha mechanics.
In today's live stream Youmu's character art was among the first five that were revealed. Her character art is drawn by Sazanami Mio and his design is also used for the 3D model, albeit superdeformed.
As with the other content ZUN has licensed to Japanese corporations, I don't expect this game to be released in the West.
However, it seems to be greatly anticipated by Japanese fans.

There has actually been quite a bit of new lately, but I held it back to not overshadow Touhou 17.
First of all, a bit of Touhou Cannonball news:
The website has been updated and preregistration is possible now.
The website now confirms that Waki Azumi is Youmu's voice actress and also features a screenshot of Youmu in story mode.
Youmu in story mode was also shown off at Reitaisai, but I only found a really bad photo.
Secondly, the Touhou/LINE collaboration mentioned above ( >>620 ) is ending at the end of this month, after which point the sticker sets can't be purchased anymore.
On a positive note, the website now features preview images in the original size when you click on a sticker and you can easily turn off compression in the url, too. So if you have a Japanese proxy/VPN, go for it.

And as for the big news:
Youmu is one of the main jurors in the Grimoire of Usami
In the book Usami, Reimu, Marisa, Sakuya, Sanae and Youmu judge danmaku fireworks.
Unfortunately, Youmu only appears as a background character in azmaya's manga bits, but she gets a lot of text otherwise and it's absolutely amazing.
The danmaku pages have cute illustrations by Benishake (aka poprication), not to be confused with another artist of the same name.

Figurines:

>FlatWork's Youmu figure was released at Wonder Festival 2019 (Summer) and it's actually a garage kit, so you'd have to assemble and color it yourself. As mentioned before, it's only sold at events anyway.
>BellFine's Youmu figure is getting a reprint

As for what we can expect of Ginmokusei's Youmu design, here's an old picture.
