Excerpts
I was one of those people who wrote stories in my head. You know, what would have been, had they been written, ff.net Mary Sue fodder. I didn't start writing until the Stargate fandom, and that was mostly snarky little stuff and humor fic about donuts. My WR is pretty rough in some places, as I was on my learning curve.
I knew about [fan fiction] for a long time, knew about 'zine culture. I started reading online back in 1995 with a show called Space: Above and Beyond. I knew a number of writers in Stargate, but WR was the first fandom I saw the movie and immediately went to the computer and did a websearch for wolverine/rogue fanfiction. It's one of the fandom's great blessings that the WRFA has managed to live (and thanks to Devil Doll, prosper) so long.
I think the fanon we as a fandom built up around the dogtags is better than what the movie gave us. *g* I think for us, the dogtags were an obvious expression of the connection we saw between the characters, promise given form. It was also a great out for a fandom working against the perceived age issue, that it was a promise that could last.
