I drew my favourite scenes from movies and shows as a little kid. I filled up this Jurassic Park drawing pad with doodles of Lion King, Sailor Moon, other cartoons, and whatever games I really liked at the time (your zeldas, marios, metroids, manas, and also Plok. lots and lots of plok). I'd really try to draw everything exactly the way they looked in promotional art on TV or my Nintendo Powers, and I guess I have to say I picked up no actual art skills WELP. Still, I hate that this book probably ended up in a recycle bin. Either I stored it there due to dumbass logic, or my mom accidentally on purpose put it in there. Hmmmmm. I'm going with the former.

I'm not too sure when I got involved in fandomy fandom though. Like, the kind of fandom where you write letters, go online, or listen to other folk's thoughts on things. It might have been Redwall or Pokemon around '96-98. With Brian Jacques books, I thought they were brilliantly written, and I remember being super fond of Gary Chalk's chapter header art. Mossflower was the first book in the series I'd read, so I turned out to be a total Martin the Warrior fanbrat for it. There was also the part where I really, really wanted the recipes of things like candied nuts and scones because DAMN the food descriptions :L

So I went online at the library (no home internet at the time), ended up on Jacques official site, a bunch of fansites that wrote down "ABBEY STYLE" recipes, and joined a tiny mailing list where I lurked and felt validated when Martin got gushed over. Ah. My first email address where I lied about my age to get it. I love you, mailcity ♥

With Pokemon, I'd save all the gifs and official art I could find online to this shitty floppy disk. I was that kid that carried a case of floppy disks how mortifying but idgaf. And this was about the time I started mucking around with making fansites. I had one on tripod, one on geocities, another on angelfire, and one on homestead. This was about the time I thought I was totally awesome at aych tee em el and was totally "code testing" these sites to see which was better customisable for a web master such as myself.

They were all terrible and uninformative. And full of bad fanart and invented pokemons that Nintendo should totally ask me to put in their games.

I still keep one of them alive for my own personal nostalgic "this is history that must never be repeated" sessions.

Anywho, I wasn't really a shipper at the time, but I remember being an asshole to AAML fans. Oh those guys! Couldn't they see that Ash was better off ~~with Gary~~ alone, and that Misty was clearly more awesome with Brock? Look at these silly fans, always with the love of this boring and cliche pairing, why couldn't they see what I saw? I got into email arguments with this one girl over Pikachu being a male or female Pikachu WHICH I WON recently I guess.

And then I was also into Neopets for a couple or three years while I was still knee deep in Pokemon asshattery. I submitted fancomics of my OCs and their pets to the Neopian Times.

Pokemon also let me become a weeaboo for a long while, so this led me mostly directly into Yu-Gi-Oh, where I joined this forum after looking for actual rules for the TCG, met and befriended my first older fan (in her thirties and she was an AWESOME penpal), as well as collaborating on terrible fanfiction, uploading more terrible fanart, and this might have been my introduction to dude slash of the not smut variety (puppyshipping??? were you my first?????? rei/usagi was my first gay ship although I actually didn't know it at the time). I was friends with someone there who introduced me to j-rock, and we had a blog ring with other folk. I don't want to talk about that blog. I'm still trying to figure out how to remove it entirely from the world.

I like to think I'm mellow and less shouty by now.

There was also the part where I really, really wanted the recipes of things like candied nuts and scones because DAMN the food descriptions :L

OMG YES. So much food porn is ALL those books. ♥
