All of these question memes going around has reminded me I am curious about everyone!

So here is a question I would love to know your answer to:

 
How did you find/become involved with fandom?

Alternatively, if you don't consider yourself part of fandom, which I guess is possible, tell me about that!
 

Myself, do not remember *not* being a fan. I was writing fic in crayon. My family got internet access when I was a preteen, and pretty much the first thing I used it for was seeking out the fanfic I somehow* instinctively knew was out there. I joined a couple Forever Knight LISTSERV lists and behaved, well. Less embarrassingly than some baby fans have.

After that, there were a few yahoo lists I never really got into, a couple boards I did, and then I eventually found LJ via [livejournal.com profile] bravecows' GO page.

*I was not the first fan in my extended family. I expect there were hints.

Dear the internet. You are the bestest.

(I did not know about the Harry Potter!)

Yeah, I know I *was* probably protofannish pre-internet but the internet happened to me pretty young so I don't remember so much.

(Also I've always been more of a reader than a writer.)

(HP, yeah, well, it was there, there was a lot of it, and it required no emotional involvement on my part. Perfect for a busy and traumatic freshman year! And the Severus Snape Fuq-U-Fest was pretty amazing.)
