1. What was your first brush with fandom - TV, movie, book, anime, etc.? How old were you? TV Show (That 70s Show) and I was 22.
2. How did you find fandom (as an internet entity)? I was looking for something, anything about Jackie/Hyde as a couple during s5 of T7S and Googled 'Jackie and Hyde' and I found a fan fiction site. It was downhill from there.
3. Was livejournal your first fannish home? If not, how were you involved? It wasn't. I started posting fic at fanfiction.net and spent the first four or so months of my fandom life at Forums 4 Fans before I got a code (A CODE OMG!) to join LJ and I've been here ever since.
4. How many fandoms have you been in since your first? If you can, list them. OH MAN. Here's a list of fandoms I have either been active within the past or am currently: Lost, The OC, BTVS/ATS, LOTR, LOTR RPS, The Faculty, That 70s Show, One Tree Hill, Harry Potter, Grey's Anatomy, Arrested Development, Bones, Supernatural, CW RPS, X-Men, Entourage, Night Stalker, Firefly, Veronica Mars, Doctor Who, The Inside, Battlestar Galactica, Dexter, Heroes, Jericho, Ugly Betty, Men In Trees, Friday Night Lights, Pushing Daisies, Dirty, Sexy, Money, Stargate: Atlantis, How I Met Your Mother, Torchwood and American Idol RPS.
5. If you participate in fandom actively (aka, you aren't a lurker), what's your role? Author, artist, beta, commenter, enabler, etc. Author, beta (not a good one), commenter, enabler.
6. If you're a slasher, what was your first slash pairing and why? Did you find slash first? The first slash pairing I read was Eric/Hyde from T7S but it wasn't *MY* first slash pairing - that would actually be Seth/Ryan from The O.C.. I didn't find slash until a month or two into my journey in fandom. ;)
