Snowflake the Second

Challenge #2

In your own space, talk about your fannish history. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

Let's see, I came into fandom later in life then most, but as an older fan the lack of internet had a lot to do with that. In college I explored usenet a bit and had a few discussions about tv shows and books and movies, etc there but never got into the fanfic side of things and once I graduated I was internetless for quite some time.

In the late 90s there were bboards accessed through libraries' computers and then yahoo groups (RIP). Then, about 15 years ago I discovered LJ and that's when I really consider I discovered "fandom" as a thing, even if all I did was lurk for a while. I first began writing fanfic then instead of just creating stories in my head and started really interacting with other fans and really delving into fandom.

Fandom's fun. It can be batshit crazy and hopelessly infuriating at times but also so, so fun.
