Usernames
All fan activity has been as eyebrowofdoom, Eyebrow of Doom or Doom's Eyebrow. In recent years I favour Eyebrow of Doom almost exclusively due to inability to sign up with things with an apostrophe (outrage). In early years I often also went by Belinda, or Belinda, Doom's Eyebrow.

History in brief
My standard user bio has always been: Doom's Eyebrow, otherwise known as Belinda, recently averted the apocalypse by jumping off doom's forehead and hopping away on its single, pointed, hairy toe.
I first searched for Cruel Intentions via my parents' dialup connection while they were out to dinner, in 2001 or so, when I was 22 years old, whereupon I discovered that there were dirty stories!! about dudes getting it on with each other!! on the internet. They made me feel funny in my pants.
From there I joined fanfiction.net and a Yahoo Group on Cruel Intentions, and proceeded to be a pompous arse.
Then I followed some Yahoo Group people over onto Buffy groups, where I was also a pompous arse.
I wrote some Cruel Intentions fic which got not much response due to there being approximately five active people in the fandom. Still, it was awesome fun. I was about to start writing Buffy fic when something happened to me. I went to see Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, and for all intents and purposes never came back.
Then I wrote a lot of dirty interspecies porn the end.
No actually, there is some blah blah after that, such as, you know what is even more pervy than hobbits taking it up the bum? Real Person Slash! AWESOME. Lotrips was where I made most of my now-oldest intermesh friends, whom I followed over to livejournal, and wrote most of my fanfiction life's work as it were. That was my most active time, in 2003-2004. Also in that period I met a number of local Melbourne LOTR people in person, many of whom I am still friends with. It's a lot harder to be a pompous arse on the internet when people know where you live, so I think this was a great development for everyone.
I'm not sure I will ever be obsessed with anything as I was with LOTR and lotrips. I have been a fickle polyfandom dilettante since then, and my journal is increasingly a social space rather than a fandom-specific space. Recently Smallville and Merlin (big time) have gotten the juices flowing.
I like to think I am not terribly much of a pompous arse any more, but I would think that.
