Golden Sun Fandom History Survey
Hello, adepts_gs! How are all you lovely people? I come bearing a survey which I would love to have you all fill out. Your input would be much appreciated, as I'm hoping to put together a fandom history of sorts for Golden Sun Universe, our fandom's wiki. We want to expand the fandom articles there, and this is the starting point for that. It's nothing hard

Which GS game did you play first? The Lost Age, up to (I think) just before Air's Rock. Then my friend wanted it back.
When did you first start seeking out the fan community in any form? Shortly afterward, sort of. GS was my first experience with so much as the idea of fandom. What I was looking for was GS3, which search led me to a fan-forum - Mercury Lighthouse, I think - and then to ff.n.
If you contributed any fanworks, when did you start doing so? I'm not certain. I know I did some scratching of fic way back toward the beginning, but I don't know that I'd count those as contributory. What I'd describe as contributions would be my pictures, which began in April or May of '08.
Every fandom has its memorable figures; whom do you remember, and in what time periods(s) were they active? mmm... There are three names that come quickly to mind, all of them active at the Pit when I frequented it back then: Joker's Specter, Master of Reality, and Empress Dots.
How much did/does shipping matter and what did/do you ship? Not very much. I go for Lighthouse, Vale, and Aqua, as well as a little... whatever the name of Amiti/Karis is these days, and also a rather odd crossover ship. (Felix with Mary/Maria from the Harvest Moon games, specifically.)
List any and all GS fansites you went to and where you go now. In chronological order, as far as I can remember... Mercury Lighthouse, Golden Sun Realm, Golden Sun Syndicate, adepts_gs. All but the first are currently on my watchlists.
Which fansite was/is your main one? Well, Golden Sun Realm's the only one where I've actually participated in events and discussions.
What are your thoughts on Dark Dawn? It was good to finally see more. But it could and should have been more than it was. Not necessarily more story or events, but more... engaging, perhaps more challenging. I mean, once I get Rief I almost never get any party member fainted until the final boss. Which is certainly less frustrating than the reverse, but it doesn't make for excitement.
Which GS game is your favorite? Lost Age
Which is your favorite out of the first two? Lost Age
Which element is your favorite? Venus
Which Adept is your favorite? Felix
Is there anything else fandom-related you'd like to share? Not that I can think of at the moment.
Would you be willing to participate in further surveys on this subject? Sure.
