[ FS Anon Meme ]

F!S Anon Meme (the ??th)


Secrets, rants, opinions, anything you want to say about your fandom or a fandom or fandom in general, do it here! Anonymously, of course. Get it all off your chest.

Some ground rules:
1. Going anon is encouraged but not absolutely required (for those who struggle with recaptchas and stuff).
2. No autoplaying/autolooping embeds, or embeds that cover/stretch the screen.
3. No dropping personal info or IRL contact info, etc.

That's about it, though!

(Today's post is below.)

My parents kept a pretty watchful eye on my internet use, but never really had a problem with my fandom involvement. Of course, back then it was mostly just fanfic on FFN and fanart on DA, and a couple of well moderated fan-forums. I didn't start getting into communities like LJ until I was a little older. I imagine they would have had more of a problem with those - there's no way I would have been allowed on Tumblr if it had existed back then. But by the time I was 17 or so it wasn't really an issue at all.

It probably helps that I never had (and still don't have) any interest in the more explicit parts of fandom. I might have accidentally stumbled upon someone's lemon fic, but my parents never had to worry about me going out looking for it and I suspect they knew that.

Ahh, yeah, I'm pretty sure my parents wouldn't have liked LJ either! Like you I was on ff.n and forums that had mods, and while I went to some of the more explicit parts of fandom because I liked the tamer stuff they also had there, I assured my parents I wasn't reading those fics.
