Jun. 18th, 2004 03:50 pmHow long have you been in fandom?
I discovered fanfiction when I was thirteen years old, still inexperienced in the ways of the internet. I actually happened to be in a computer room at the time, in the Catholic all-girls Convent school I attended, and I innocently typed Mulder/Krycek into a search engine to see if I could find info about Mulder *or* Krycek. Heh.
I have been a slasher from the beginning. I had no idea it was such a widespread phenomenon for ages- I thought it was confined to that pairing, that website, that fandom.
I started writing M/K when I was 15, and then I actually started posting my fic at 18- I took all the dire underage warnings very seriously.
I transferred to HP fandom with the SSFQF last summer, and that directly contributed toward my getting a livejournal, which is why I'm here. So much thanks to
tboy and
luthien67 for that. Or not. Depends on your point of view, really. =)
How old are you?
I'm twenty one, winter baby, Saggitarius, student.
What are the best things in life?
Hmm. Having fantastic music on headphones. Dancing in the rain. Garlic bread. Friends that *get* you. People recognising what you're quoting from. Good books, and the first time you read them. The stomach-melty feeling of first dates. Intelligent conversation. A gift you've bought someone that you *know* is perfect. Someone that knows you well enough to get the perfect gift. People you share opinions with. People you like even though you'll never agree. Debates with those people. Winter evenings; lying in bed with a cup of tea and listening to people walking outside in the rain. Loads more stuff. =)
I'll answer more questions later, but my little sister has just come in from school and I haven't spoken to her in far too long. *g*
