How I got here

X Files was my gateway fandom in 1996-97, at least for discovering fanfic in all its permutations. But apart from a few timid forays into Alt.tv.x-files.creative, I never interacted with other fans.

Buffy & Angel introduced me to online fan communities when I discovered the old Table Talk TV threads.

Lord of the Rings was the first fandom I wrote in as an adult; like many (most?) of us I wrote epically bad Mary Sues as a teen, but no-one other than my best friend and writing partner read them. I was a member of the Henneth Annun Story Archive for years.

Sadly, these days Yuletide is the only "fandom" I write in regularly, though I've dipped my toes in others for fanwork exchanges.
