RR -- Your Fandom Autobiography
We've hit 500 readers! Yay!! Squee!!! *flail*
Ahem. To celebrate, Mei and I (but mostly Mei) have developed a fandom autobiography, designed to tell the world how your fanfic tastes were developed (and, incidentally, to produce tons of recs at the same time, we hope:) To participate, just copy and paste the questions into a comment and answer as ( Read more... )

To be honest, I'm not totally sure. It was either Buffy or The X-Files, and I shipped Buffy/Angel and Scully/Mulder.
What was the first story you read in that fandom?
Who knows? Heck, I don't even remember any of the titles of stories I read, though the one I remember the most of was actually Willow/Angel and, uh, featured some fairly kinky sex (at one point Willow had her hands tied behind her back while Angel held himself over her and, well, I'm sure you get the point). Willow was immortal for some reason and I think the story ended with Angel going to back Buffy for as long as Buffy had left (not long) and then he and Willow planned to be together. Does anyone else remember this?
What was your favorite story in that fandom?
Again, no clue. In my defense, this was ten years ago...

What is your favorite story of all time? (If you can't pick just one, you can do a list, but try to keep it to under five stories)Evil, *evil* question. *sigh*. To make things easier, I'm limiting myself to just one fic per fandom and not including any stories linked above (and even then I'm missing a *lot* of stories I'd like to list). Note that all of the stories below are really!freaking!epic ( ... )

What was your first fandom?
Heroes was my first everything fandom, with brief forays into Life on Mars, Merlin, Psych and Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.
What was the first story you read in that fandom?
I have no idea! I read everything and anything that came my way. The story that brought me out of lurkerdom, though, I do remember: All That Could Have Been by carmexgirl (Matt/Mohinder, Mohinder/Sylar; NC-17). It's non-powered AU in which Mohinder is trapped in an abusive relationship with Sylar, and Matt is the cop who is sent to deal with the domestic violence reports that the neighbours call in. I was so moved by her portrayal of domestic violence, and how someone as strong as Mohinder could end up in that situation, that I was unwittingly dragged into fandom. :)

Heroes
What was your first story?
Pay-Per-View
(Mohinder/Sylar; NC-17; ~16,000 for both parts)
A very, very smutty and very, very plotless roadtrip fic.
Which of your stories was the most popular?
Fear & Self-Loathing
(Mohinder/Sylar; NC-17; ~30,000)
Missing scene fic between Unexpected and Parasite. After discovering Dale's body, Mohinder and Zane are faced with a thirty-six hour drive back to New York. Mohinder has trouble coming to terms with the brutality of the murder and finds Zane's non-reaction to her death increasingly disturbing. As they drive, Mohinder's suspicions mount that Zane may not be who he says he is, and, trapped beside each other in the car, Mohinder is forced to confront what has happened between them in Montana.
Which story do *you* think is your best?
Love, Deconstructed(Mohinder/Gabriel; NC-17; ~4,800 ( ... )

Which was your first? Roswell
What was your first story? Liz Parker: No More PMS (Putting Up with Max's Shit.)
Which of your stories was the most popular? That's a toss up. I had 3 really popular Torchwood fics, and one really popular BSG fic. The BSG one however, I think got the most reviews. So, it would be: Deliver Me
Which story do *you* think is your best? That's hard to say. Each of my recent fics is a little better than the one before, but my ( ... )
