The Fandom Firsts Meme
Has anyone read a good book lately? I could use some recommendations. I'm in that mood where it's like I'm hungry, but I have no idea what I want to eat, so I'm up for hearing about anything you've enjoyed.
On to the meme!
First TV show I had self-insertion fantasies about: Almost certainly Star Trek: The Next Generation. It came on when I was five, which was the perfect time for imaginary role-playing.
First fandom in which I interacted (online and in person) with other fans: Well, I didn't actually interact with Harry Potter fans so much as lurk on their journals and read their stories. Star Trek AOS was the first fandom I actively participated in.
Pairing in the first (m/m) slash fanfiction I read: Why is m/m slash more important than all the other pairings? *grumbles* I suppose it was Remus/Sirius, but I can't remember being invested in any ships back then.
First RPS/RPF I read: None. I understand why people like it, but it makes me feel awkward. I always think about how weird I'd feel if people wrote fictional stories about my sex life, so I've never really wanted to read it.
First fanfiction I read that made me think, YES, this is exactly the kind of fanfiction I'd like to write: I honestly don't know, and I wish I did. I was traveling in South America when I discovered fanfiction, so I never really saved links or read particular authors. One story I remember envying is Umad Learns Sumerian by annakovsky.
Pairing in the first fanfiction I wrote: The first fanfic I wrote was a genfic, but a Spock/Uhura story followed quickly thereafter.
First OTP: Does me/Wesley Crusher count? If not, it's probably Pike/One.
First fannish friend I met in person: Sadly, Midwestern fangirls don't have many opportunities for meet-ups. izzyfics drove down one day, and I've been lucky to catch up with katmarajade a couple times.
First character I formally roleplayed: N/A
