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 ~10 (which was almost twenty years ago) and I told my parents right away because it didn't occur to me NOT to tell them? I wasn't in the teenager "Ugh my parents are stupid about everything" phase yet, so it seemed natural that, when they asked me about my day, I tell them about the message board I found on AOL and all the people I was talking to.

I honestly think it was the best possible turn out because they sort of half-assedly monitored what I was doing in fandom for a couple months, realized it was boring as hell to them and they didn't want to wade through hundreds of kids' message board posts about cartoons they didn't care about, and kind of let me go off on my own? So by the time I was older and curious about the more mature stuff, they had long since given up caring about my fannish endeavors as more than just a "that's nice dear, have fun writing your stories" thing.
