30-day Fanfic-Writing Meme
Ganked from Aadler.
Day 01: How did you first get into writing fanfic, and what was the first fandom you wrote for? What do you think it was about that fandom that pulled you in?
I got introduced to fanfic by aadler when I was fourteen years old. He found a short story about a janitor at Sunnydale High (I think). It was short, but did its job, and it was absolutely perfect for what it was. He’d find more stories, and sit me down in front of the computer and have me read them. One day, he sat me down at the computer, and wouldn’t let me see who’d written it, and only after I’d finished reading it did I find out that he was the author. Four years later, I started finishing fanfic.
I have to say “finishing”, because I was forever starting stories and not finishing them. Finally finished my first story when I lived with my dad for two months.
As far as my first fandom goes, I first wrote Buffy, and I love Buffy. A lot. The story that I probably put the most effort into before I started posting my stories was a Harry Potter story that will never, and I repeat, never see the light of day. Mary Sues all over the place, the whole lot of them.
I’ve been considering getting back into Harry Potter, though.
