OH DEAR GOD TALK CITY. I remember that! Didn't use WebTV, but a bunch of others did. I frequented one of the Star Wars ones - #JediTemple, if I remember the name correctly. That was in 1999. I was twelve. My first exposure to fandom!
Animorphs, I think? I would have been around ten or so (1997). First really proper active-in-fandom one was Star Wars, two years later, and ReBoot, ditto.
I have an insanely devoted shipper on my flist and she's a fucking psycho about it. She writes the most tl;dr entries about how much the loves the ship and how amazing it is and blah blah blah and wow I wish she'd shut up about it.
FUCKING WORD. There was a site floating around some years back tht explicity said that just pointing out grammar and spelling mistakes was a Thing Not To Do, unless you could make it funny of course.
You want to be a grammar nazi? Be a snarky beta reader.
