My fandom before wrestling sucked my life away was The Magnificent Seven. That was where I really dipped my toes into writing fanfic. And that was where I ventured into writing slash. It's kinda weird that it happened with a show about the old west and cowboys, because that's not my usual like. But then again, I never would've thought my major and longest lasting fandom participation would be for wrestling either.
Mag7 is mostly a gen fandom for me. Ezra is my favorite, followed by Vin, so it's only natural that I love the idea of them together. And it wasn't even a slash thing at first, and it isn't the only thing still either. I love gen stories with them as friends. But that's totally my pairing of choice when it comes to slash.
Ezra and Vin don't really interact all that much. But they have their moments. I love them dearly, and always wished they had more screentime together.
Last week, season two of Mag7 finally came out on DVD. I, of course, snapped it up. Now, Mag7 was cancelled after the first season. Fan campaign brought it back, only for it to get canned again, and worse: there were three episodes never aired.
After eight years, I'm finally watching those three episodes I've never seen.
And oh my god. Ezra and Vin. Just. Oh my god. It isn't a lot, honestly, but the camaderie. The friendship. The playfulness. Vin dusting off Ezra's hat after a brawl. Just oh my god.
Never let it be said that I'm someone who lets go easily, because I still carry a torch for this show and I still carry a torch for the fandom. It's always been one of the biggest regrets of my fannish life, to have left that fandom the way I did. I vanished in a puff of thin air. I still have lingering fic ideas that haunt me.
I still have my Mag7 fanfic up, but god I can't bear to look at them, because they really suck from my current perspective. But I like leaving them up, because it's, I don't know, a piece of Twig history, to me. I don't know if I want to try my hand at it again after eight years, but I'm a lot better writer now than I was then.
I've been doing a lot of thinking about my writing. I want to try something out, and I think it might help. And I think it might let me strike at other fandoms. Maybe I'll strike at Mag7 again. Here's hoping.
