1. What was your first brush with fandom - TV, movie, book, anime, etc.? How old were you?
When I was 11 I ‘founded’ a Michael J. Fox fan club with three other friends. We even made a magazine. I saw Back to the Future five times at the movies, and Alex P Keaton was my tv boyfriend.
2. How did you find fandom (as an internet entity)?
I think I first used the internet for Fannish stuff looking at sites about ‘Friends’. Then Buffy.
3. Was livejournal your first fannish home? If not, how were you involved?
I joined an email list for ‘Friends’ years ago, but I didn’t even know the word fandom then! Livejournal has been my first real ‘home’.
4. How many fandoms have you been in since your first? If you can, list them.
LoTRiPS was my first really, though I did read some Buffy fanfic and love the Whedon. Then SGA, a little Whoniverse, and am currently obsessed with Queer as Folk.
5. If you participate in fandom actively (aka, you aren't a lurker), what's your role? Author, artist, beta, commenter, enabler, etc.
Commenter, enabler, picspammer and very occasionally I write smut.
6. If you're a slasher, what was your first slash pairing and why? Did you find slash first?
Billy/Dom. Monaboyd all the way baby! I still luff them like crazy. The first pairing I ever read and my introduction to hot boy on boy action (well, vampire on vampire in this case) was Angel/Spike.
