Snowflake, Day 2

Day 2

In your own space, share a favorite memory about fandom: the first time you got into fandom, the last time a fanwork touched your heart, crazy times with fellow fans (whether on-line or off-line), a lovely comment you’ve received or have left for someone. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Hmm, I took a circuitous root through fandom before really getting into the fanfic side of things. The early days of Torchwood (from S1s airings through CoE) will always hold a certain place in my heart- I had the most amazing flist then, all interconnected, friendly and supportive and I had all these *ideas* and wrote so much without needing prompts/exchanges to do so. Then the canon imploded and ate itself and nearly all of those people drifted away :(

More recently (as in, this past week) my favorite moment was waiting for the Yuletide collection to open so Settiai could see what I wrote for them. I know a little about requesting the same thing for yuletide over and over despite being fairly certain you'll never get it and I had all my fingers crossed that the Peacemakers story I wrote for them would be everything they'd being hoping for and I was right. Their resulting comments (plural!) have not stopped making me smile.
