A Fannish History Meme as stolen from Petra.
Clearly, as I've been in fandom for approximately 18 months, this is not at all deep or interesting. But I'm doing this in the hopes that some of you will do it too so I'll get to hear about some of your experiences of fandom. :DDD PLEASE DO FOR ME!
First TV show I had self-insertion fantasies about:
If you want to talk books I’m pretty sure I was up there on the mountain with Heidi when I was five screaming, “Peter pick me, pick me!”
I’m terrified the TV show answer might be Little House on the Prairie. If not, almost certainly Dr Quinn Medicine Woman. *hangs head in shame*

Totes Legit. Me/Aprons OTP.
First fandom in which I interacted (online and in person) with other fans:
Alles was Zählt of course. Hai thar Eskimos!
Pairing in the first slash fanfiction I read:
Destiel I guess. No, no, wait, I definitely read
lilithilien’s Merlin stuff first so Arthur/Merlin.
First RPS/RPF I read:
Also
lilithilien’s Merlin RPS. (Yes I really devoured that masterlist in a really lurky way. I must of known it would be love.) Other than that no real RPS reading unless you count the Rick Santorum fanfic I found at the weekend, lol.
First fanfiction I read that made me think, YES, this is exactly the kind of fanfiction I'd like to write:
Is it cheating to say literally everything written for HoHoHoFest 2010?
Pairing in the first fanfiction I wrote:
Deniz/Roman. I also remember hand writing a totally unnecessary, never to be posted, Roman/Marc monologue of angst as I was watching DeRo 3.0 (all alone because all the eskimos were way ahead of me) which when I read back I realised was just a massive dissection of every fleeting feeling they were going through and was probably exactly what I would have put in the comments if I'd been watching in real time analysing every beautiful second of conflicted anguish scored into their faces. Ugh the good old days.
First OTP:

First RPS/F OTP:
Something else I stumbled into at the weekend after a prolonged tumblr offensive by
queeniegalore: Patrick Kane/Jonathan Toews. Lol random slashing of Chicago-based hockey players. One of whom is literally the grossest looking man on the planet. It does actually seem like the whole of the ice hockey industry is massively shipping these two though, including themselves, so I disavow responsibility on this. I mean, I'm not even kidding, even small children recognise they're married:
AHEM, moving on
First fannish friend I met in person:
Spotting
geekchick1013 waiting for me at Holborn station last June is etched in my memory!
First character I formally roleplayed:
This is a fannish staple I have yet to try. :S *remains firmly in the newbie column*
SO GO. DO. SHOW ME YOUR FANGIRL. <333
