This could be your first fandom, your first fandom friend, the first fanwork you created, the first fanwork you interacted with... The options are endless! Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Hm.

Fandom nonsense under the cut. I've made it a combination of fandom specific and more general "fan" stuff, to even out the playing field a little. I would LOVE to hear your thoughts!

ETA: Sorry the cut's weird, guys. There actually is a full entry under here, I just don't want to have to repost this all over again, so I'm not tinkering too much.


First fandom: Technically my fandom involvement began in elementary school, when my friends and I would talk about our favorite books and play make-believe stories based on them. But my first major online fandom wouldn't be until high school.

First fanwork you created: A very bad fic for my first "major" fandom, based on Romeo and Juliet. Guess what we were reading in 9th grade English?

First fanwork you interacted with: I'm not really sure. I read a lot of fic and saw a lot of fanart at once. I definitely discovered Cassandra Claire (now "Clare") early on.

First fandom friend: I made a lot of friends in chatrooms for my first major fandom.

Here are a few of my own. Feel free to steal! Thought they could be fun. I ended up having to simplify the lists or I'd have been here all day.

First artist you remember listening to: Either Bette Midler or Whitney Houston.


First TV show you remember watching: The Cosby Show. Sorry.

First movie you remember watching: Aladdin.

First favorite sports team: I'm not a sports person, but leaving this here for my friends who are into sports. :)

First niche hobby/interest: I went through a very brief rock collecting phase, around the same time as my astrology phase.

First favorite band or artist: Sarah Mclachlan.

First celebrity crush: Jason Mraz.

First time meeting a celebrity or public figure: Never have.

First unpopular opinion (that you can easily recall): In general, I liked Twister. In fandom, I didn't like a character a lot of people in my fandom adored. TBH, I can actually see it now.

First news-related obsession: Heaven's Gate had me obsessed with cults for a short period of time.

First convention: Don't do conventions,* but leaving this here for those of you who do.

*I hate crowds.

First Star Wars movie: Star Wars: A New Hope. But I didn't see any other movies from the original trilogy until I'd seen all of the prequels.

Okay, I gotta stop somewhere, guys. Like I said, feel free to snag, and/or add your own!
