3. How, why, and when did you get into bandom? Was it a gradual thing, or did bandom basically slam you in the face? Did you resist at first? Who was involved in your downfall?
4. What did your core bandom band look like when you got into the fandom? What fashion phase where they in?
5. What was your first impression of each of them?
6. What was the first bandom fic you ever read? What did you think of it?
7. When was your first bandom concert experience? What was it like?
1. Bandom fangirl since:
oh god, since the beginning of 2006.
2. First band in the fandom:
my first fic i read was taking back sunday, but i really got into panic at the disco a little while later. panic was my first real fandom.
3. How, why, and when did you get into bandom? Was it a gradual thing, or did bandom basically slam you in the face? Did you resist at first? Who was involved in your downfall?
i found slash randomly i think. i actually don't remember how, but i just know it was a taking back sunday fic. eventually i found slashatthedisco and that just fed my already present love for those four. things progressed, reached it's peak, and then i really stopped reading slash/participating in the fandom because it got too crazy. i've picked up again recently, but it's not as strong as it was.
4. What did your core bandom band look like when you got into the fandom? What fashion phase where they in?
oh yeaaah, remember the last one? so good, so good. can't believe i even found these in my photobucket. yes please, ryan ross, yes please. they were classy in an 18-year-old kind of way. sophisticated, if you will.
5. What was your first impression of each of them?
oh, the fourteen year old me swooned over ryan ross. brendon was crazy, spencer was chubby and didn't say much (although later he got quite adorable, then grew that beard! uh.), and brent said even less. he seemed like an asshole, always pissed off, but from what i've seen he's really not. when jon came, i was indifferent.
6. What was the first bandom fic you ever read? What did you think of it?
my first fic was taking back sunday and about john and adam. they worked at a water park, fell in love, etc. good times. i can't remember if the fic was actually good, or if i even finished it, but at the time i loved it. i read all my first panic fics on slashatthedisco. they had different mods back then and a fic posted once a week.
7. When was your first bandom concert experience? What was it like?
the first bandom concert experience was probably panic's tour with the hush sound. i saw them in boston (and met greta. can't leave that out because, omg, greta). brendon and ryan were all over each other and fhasjfha. i don't even like brendon/ryan tbh, but come onnn. they made it way too easy.
