Re: Let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start...

Well, local BBSes back in the early 90s are responsible for introducing me to Sailor Moon. Approximately five days before the dub was cancelled without finishing the second season. When I first got internet, that was one of the first things I looked for, and happened across the "SOS - Save Our Sailors" movement. Was very active on their forums, and wound up playing Sailors Mars and Uranus in an RPG started by some of the folks there. Was thrilled when it got back on the air on Cartoon Network and they were going to finish season 2... except that I didn't get Cartoon Network at the time. :P

At the same time, I was also really active on another forum, or rather a mailing list, for Dar Williams. For a folk musician, she had some really fun, hilarious fans, and there was a social justice angle to a lot of the discussion, which fortunately was not like the SJW stuff we've got going on now. People just genuinely were interested in issues and awareness and how they could help. It was really cool.

And a little later, FF7 was released, and I started a fansite, largely because I had just learned that there was a TERM for what I had been doing my whole life, and that term was "fanfiction", and that people online liked reading it as much as I liked writing it. XD
