Transcript: I like listening to people about how it was like before in the "old fandom". Fics, Zines, etc. during the Livejournal era and even before that.
Looking for the oldest fanworks and fan discussion I can find.

It's not like it was THAT different from nowadays, but it's still very fascinating! It makes me feel nostalgic for something I didn't even experience.

(Anonymous) 2021-11-11 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
TOTALLY agree. Especially old SF fandom zines. Incredibly fascinating and cool.

IA. It's really interesting just how much harder people had to work to connect with other fans.

Ahh, this secret's so cute, but it also makes me feel so old. Lol Those were fun times though.

The oldest modern "fandom" in the sense that we think of it: zines, fanart, fic, meta, arguments that last decades, having conventions and societies, people meeting and becoming best friends and marrying because of it, etc. is far older than anyone alive today!

Here's a great article about early British Sherlock Holmes fandom, which was wanky right out of the gate: https://journal.transformativeworks.org/index.php/twc/article/view/861/736

This was something I really enjoyed about my time in The X-Files fandom. I didn't get into the fandom until early 2007, five years after the show had ended, and by then the fandom's heyday felt like ancient history (particularly from my perspective as a then nineteen-year-old, who was in single digits when the fandom was first hitting its stride).

I really enjoyed going through all the old archives, and exploring people's personal fanfic websites, and their recs pages which they hosted on their personal websites. I had a real fascination with when exactly different fics were written. I'd always check their post date, and sometimes it would be really fascinating to realize that the fic was written in response to a season cliffhanger, and posted right before the next season started airing. I loved poking around and feeling like I was seeing back in time.

What fucks with my head now, though, is that back in 2007, the fics I was reading from 1998 felt really old to me, but the fresh fics I was reading in 2012 don't feel old to me now, even though the amount of time between 1998 and 2007 is equal to the amount of time between 2012 and 2021. o_O Aging is a trip.

(Anonymous) 2021-11-12 05:29 am (UTC)(link)
Olden days fandom is fascinating in a way I cannot describe. I love zine fics in particular, and I'm gutted so much of it has disappeared from the Internet.

This is cute, but I feel so old now!
As a young teenager I was in a fandom that was using mail (as in letters on paper) to communicate. Also I had this book that had home phone numbers of fandom people. You could ring them to talk fandom if you have wanted. That was a bit awkward though

I lost interest when it came out that Ryan and Shane are not friends IRL. I don't expect every duo to be BFFs but it was made so clear that their friendship was mostly an act it took a lot of the fun out of the show. Same thing happened with Mythbusters. I quit watching after the truth about Adam and Jamie came out.

Transcript by OP

[personal profile] fscom 2021-11-11 11:19 pm (UTC)(link)
transcript: I really dislike most fanfic attempts to give Tatooine slaves some kind of homogenous culture. It's almost always a naive extrapolation from US plantation slavery that misunderstands how both slavery and folklore works.

Yes, the fandom-favorite by Fialleril included.

I'm so tired of the Magical Slave trope.

Secrets you don't want to make...

... but you wouldn't mind if someone else made them for you! As always, including the fandom and full character names is a big help, and I'll try my best to use an appropriate image choice. Just to clarify - it's my intention to make all the secrets left in this thread, so even if they're not marked claimed, they will be made.

I'll monitor this thread until tomorrow's secret post goes up, so feel free to leave your comments until then!

Yours truly,

a secret maker
