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!

I got into fandom when I was about 15 (so '96 or so, pretty much as soon as we got the internet at home) and I remember explaining fanfic to my mother shortly after because she caught me printing out something I wrote. And I remember showing her my first website - although I wouldn't tell her the url - just because I was really proud of learning html. None of my offline friends cared about fandom or internet stuff in general, so my mother ended up hearing a lot about it just because there was no one else who would listen to me (almost 20 years later, she's still super interested in my fandom involvement). She generally knew what I was up to (although all the porn I read would have surprised her), and while she didn't want me meeting up with anyone I'd met online - and I didn't until I was in my 20s - she never monitored my internet use and seemed happy enough to let me do my thing and make friends and whatever.
