Your First Fandom

[viciousimp]

So 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.

My first fandom was Yu-Gi-Oh, which was... five years ago, I think? a friend had written some fanfic, and from there I started reading on FFnet and... pretty much never stopped. :D I also find it rather amusing that most people that I've seen write about this before started out reading het and being all *shocked* and *appalled* at the slash before being drawn in themselves - the first story I read was gen. The second one was slash, and from then on I refused to read anything else for about two years, so I had a rather different reaction! :P

To be honest, it never even crossed my mind that there would be YGO-related slash out there. And, amazingly, I don't think I've seen any. LOL.

Do I live under a rock or what?
