Fandom Firsts meme
First TV show I had self-insertion fantasies about:
Oh, good goddess! Dick Turpin when I was five years old. Or possibly four.
First fandom in which I interacted (online and in person) with other fans:
Hercules: The Legendary Journeys. That's what I was into when I first had regular internet access. I'd checked out Trek and X-Files on usenet before then but not really interacted.
Pairing in the first slash fanfiction I read:
Technically my very first was Picard/Borg. It was quoted in a tabloid newspaper article (most likely sans permission and it skipped over the good bits). Other than that one, I think it was Iolaus/Ares.
First RPS/RPF I read:
I have never read RPS and I never will. I have too much respect for real people's real lives for that.
First fanfiction I read that made me think, YES, this is exactly the kind of fanfiction I'd like to write...
Oh, man. I don't remember the title, but I'll bet any HTLJ fan on my flist will remember it. It was an AU of the episode Gladiator on the Iolausian site. Brilliantly plotted, hurt/comfort heavy on the hurt, and very angsty. There was a slash sequel, too, but it's the first story of the set that I remember.
Pairing in the first fanfiction I wrote:
Why assume the first fanfic I wrote even had a pairing? I'm pretty sure it didn't. Oh, wait. My earliest real fanfic was Robin of Sherwood, so technically it would have included Robin/Marion. It was gen, though. I didn't start writing het or slash until much later.
First OTP:
Jim/Blair. First and only OTP, really. I don't really get the OTP thing. There are pairings I can't see, and pairings I prefer, but it's very unusual for me to go for one pairing and be in a place where I can't stand to see either of them with anyone else. I like to mix it up.
First RPS/F OTP:
See above on both RPF and OTP. Well, okay, I will admit to slashing two of the male dancers on Strictly last season. But only in my head! And only because the BBC showed them slow dancing together! I mean, come on, what's a girl to do when it's that obvious?
First fannish friend I met in person:
I'm not sure. The first time I met fannish friends in person was at the HTLJ symposium (Queenie and Martine and Gharedsu and Ruric. A few others, but I don't recall everyone who was there), but I couldn't say who was the first I met there.
First character I formally roleplayed:
Uh. I dressed as Discord for a HTLJ con back in the day (no, you cannot see the pictures!), but that doesn't really count as role play. I never have role played fandom characters.
