Yeah, still pretty new to fandom. Didn't know Show existed until late 2009, mainlined seasons 1-4 in about three weeks, joined fandom just in time for the Season 5 Christmas hiatus. This is my first fandom, too, for that matter. I didn't used to write fanfic or do any fandom-related stuff before this.

Damn you, fandom, I used to be normal!

[tahirire]

Lol, that's a tag of yours if I'm not mistaken. :)

My first fandom also. We sure know how to pick 'em. *facepalm*

[ratherastory]

Yes, yes it is. I stole it from someone else, I forget who, whose original tag was: "Damn you, Misha, I used to be normal!" I liked it, so I kept it.

Oh, fandom, what you do to me!

[tahirire]

LOL! Maychorian, perhaps.

I'm assuming that by "start watching show" you mean start watching live. I watched the earlier seasons in order over a year or so, but the first episode I saw live was 5.11. I was lurking in fandom through the latter half of season five, but I didn't write my first fic till early May, when we were almost up to the finale already.

[tahirire]

Yes, watching live. I have introduced tons of people to show by letting them mainline my DVDs - I have s1 out on loan as we speak. :)

[ratherastory]

Hah, me too. In fact, last year I made it my personal mission to convert my office, and now fully half of them AND their spouses watch Show because of me. \o/

[tahirire]

ME TOO! *highfive*

We practically close early on Fridays now. :)

My history is sorta confused. I didn't get the channel it was on, and picked up the 1st season DVD's cause Callum Keith Rennie was guesting in an episode. Then I was hooked. Found a place to watch the second season, and started hunting for fandom then. I was hesitant to get involved with fandom due to some things that had happened in another on-line fandom. But I'm glad I did seek out SPN on-line, cause I've made some great friends ;)

[tahirire]

I had never even HEARD the word fandom. I went to my first con and THEN joined. Backwards? Yes. Lol.

[thenetwork]

What show? :P

[tahirire]

LOL. LIES.

Define "actively enter." Do you mean 1) browsing internet forums, reading fic (and mentally writing it, without writing it down) and leaving anonymous comments, or 2) actually getting an LJ account and establishing an online identity?

[tahirire]

Well, I wasn't thinking that technical, but I'd say if you are reading and commenting on fic, that means active to me. :)

[katiestitch]

Then season 2. I watched the first half of 2 and got hooked, then watched the first season during the winter hiatus and have been watching live ever since.
