fandom_opendiscussionSo my comments on how Homestuck seemed to have an epidemic of "first fandom" members got me to thinking I could make a post about first fandom experiences here. Seems like there should be more discussion here and I'm pretty new to Dreamwidth, figured this would be a nice ice breaker for me.
Exactly as the title says! What was your first fandom? What sort of experience did you have, as embarrassing as it may be? We all have to start somewhere.
My first fandom experiences were writing mass-crossover "who would beat who in a fight" type fanfiction, in script format. I was less than 10 years old, so now I find it kind of cute. Especially that, when I think about it, now all I do is write "who would fuck who" role plays. I don't think my maturity level has increased much.

Date: 2012-01-24 06:16 am (UTC)I would say my first fandom-like thing was when I (unknowingly at the time) wrote a Hamtaro fan fiction when I was a wee baby Sykriar. It was cute. I think I still have it somewhere.
To be honest I really dove head-first into fandom with Dragon Age way back last year when I made a Tumblr for the second time. I knew what fandom was before it, but I always thought I never really had the time or the "skill" (as there were so many artists in fandom I thought) to participate in any of the ones I liked. After a while I just decided to jump in and I've been a crazy fandom addict ever since.
I swear if I would've had the courage before I would've been in the FMA fandom SO HARD way back when. Ugh.
