Re: How and when did you come to fandom?

My first fanish pursuit was Pern where I mostly just waited for each new book and I looked in used book stores for out-of-print stuff like the choose-your-own-adventure Pern books. At the time the only thing I could find online was a timeline for Pern history.

Then I moved onto Sailor Moon where I scoured the internet for anything Sailor Moon related, and this was so long ago that some fans had their own sites but there really wasn't that much online. There was no crossover to the Japanese SM fandom (or at least nothing translated) so I never learned anything from that side of things. Of course, I was also hampered by the fact I could only ever search at the library.

My true fandom beginning was LOTR, which I joined just a few months before FOTR came out in theaters. LOTR was my first slash ship, my introduction to porn, my first published fic, my first award nomination for fic, my first comments, all of it. That was back when there were a lot more fandom-specific archives and character websites.

I've never gotten out of LOTR but I've definitely branched out since then.
