Re: How and when did you come to fandom?

I have been a fan of tuff throughout my life but my first real association with a "Fandom" was buying Doctor Who magazines in my teens.

After that, the next real interaction with Fandom only came when my brother Noddy lived with us in 1999, with his computer and an internet connection. I started poking around a Star Trek parody webcomic and got involved in the message board affiliated with it.
Noddy however moved back to Sydney and his computer followed him, so I was left with internet access only through the Tafe computers for a year. During that time I found a Baludir's Gate fanfic titled "Bethphel's Diary" that I read, but I didn't go much further until after I got a computer of my own, at which time I followed links into the Attic (aka Gamejag), a message board for BG fanficcers.
Through there I met a lurker who was a DBZ fan and moved into that, DBZ led to HP, HP led to LotR, then I moved on to Final Fantasy, then Transformers, Doctor Who, SPN and back to LotR via the Hobbit, spent some time in Dragon Age, flirted with Mass Effect and am back to playing BG again.

There's a short form of my fandom history over the last 17 years and prior for you.
