1. What was your first brush with fandom - Buffy & Angel. I was about 19 - old enough to know better!
2. How did you find fandom (as an internet entity)? After watching a Buffy episode I decided to search for a picture of Seth Green (of all people) on our brand spanking new internet connection. It brought up a link for "fanfiction". I was intrigued at what this new and bizarre word could possibly mean... The rest is history.
3. Was livejournal your first fannish home? If not, how were you involved? Not by a long shot. I had a geocities site and was on many mailing lists. I shunned lj because I didn't like the layout and trying to figure memories and tags gave me a headache. I only got into lj because fandom pretty much lives here now, and I had a job with NOTHING to do all day (ahh, temping) so I learned the way of the journal, and now I am hopelessly, hopelessly, hopelessly hooked.
4. How many fandoms have you been in since your first? If you can, list them. For the longest time I was almost exclusively only interested in Buffy&Angel. Then came Supernatural: the Almighty Usurper and Eater of Souls. I'm also a reader in SGA, Torchwood, the occasional movie and I dabble in other fandoms if a rec catches my eye or I know the author.
5. If you participate in fandom actively (aka, you aren't a lurker), what's your role? Author, occasional beta (although I'm getting back into that after a long hiatus), occasional enabler, stalker, and I always, always try and leave comments because I know how much I enjoy getting them.
6. If you're a slasher, what was your first slash pairing and why? Did you find slash first? I knew slash was out there from pretty much the beginning of discovering fanfic, but I worked my way through unconventional het pairings first before getting caught up in the wonderful world of slash. I like to read het, gen, femslash, whatever, but slash is my main squeeze. I guess I'm just greedy for the boys like that, and, as we all know, It's All About The Cock. The first slash story I remember ever reading was Spike/Angel and I remember thinking, 'Oh my god, can they do this?' I was fascinated. The first slash I wrote was Spike/Xander "just to see if I could" and the majority of the fic I've written ever since has been slash.
