hmmm...I shall call it... TWPAHMHMFM (Week 1)
Clearly I need a new job.
Or a life. I'll take a life. A life would be really swell right now.
[acts like he's been here all the time]
So...there I was, on AO3, skimming around to see what fandoms I want to offer to write for this year's Yuletide and things...[handwave] happen (like they do) and I ended up TOTALLY NOT STALKING SOMEONE but coming across a really cool fanfic meme (which I love to do, they are my kryptonite).
I took it and will make it mine (because I can so there HAH).
There's 30 of them. I think I'm supposed to do one a week, which is about my speed right now. SHUT UP I'M DOING THIS MY WAY.
It's called...something something TOXICTATTOO'S WAXING POETICAL ABOUT HOW MUCH HE MISSES FANDOM MEME
Or TWPAHMHMFM. Which sounds like I've been gagged.
Go with me here. I need this time in the sunlight. My skin is a sickly color of paste.
Week 1: 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?
A good friend got me interested in writing for Gundam Wing. It took me a while to warm up to it since I really wasn't all about the five kids piloting large phallic representations of their burgeoning sexuality mecha. Although the mecha was kind of cool.
Once I got past the teenage angst of being teenagers sent out to kill FOR THE EMPIRE, I saw the story and found it intriguing. It was deep, thoughtful, complicated, messy.
I saw characters who were presented as 'the bad guys' who, upon closer inspection, weren't so bad as they were complicated with motivations that weren't mwahahaha driven. The plot flipped over on itself several times, which always surprised me, as I first thought Gundam Wing was kind of dorky.
And I grew to love OZ. Sure I had my favorite pairings among the pilots but Treize Kushrenada was the character that really captured my attention with his depth and complexity. And let's face it, Zechs was just damn hot. Noin was just damn cool. Sally was just damn competent.
More and more my love for the 'adult' (for your definitions of adult) characters held me fast for the longest time.
Gundam Wing will always, always hold that special place in my heart. Maybe one day, I'll rewatch it and write for it again.
For old times sake.
