Today's [community profile] snowflake_challenge task is to talk about my fannish history.

I was given basically unrestricted access to the internet around age 14. This, in hindsight, was not great. But I did find communities that were welcoming to the tiny bean I was then. I read so much fic I was not ready for and really truly appreciate content notes. After all something that is a major turn off for me is a major turn on for someone else. They can appreciate it while I keep scrolling. I discovered my love of total-AU fic in the X-Files fandom. I fell into team-as-family in Stargate. I got possibly the best redemption arc I've ever found in Legend of the Seeker. I mostly lurk, I read, I occasionally rec things. I am always ready to squee or cheer.

In no particular order, I've been involved in:
Sailor Moon
X-Files
Legend of the Seeker
Stargate (and Atlantis)
Glee
Once Upon a Time
Critical Role

I loved Glee back in the day, but it's very hard for me to appreciate now. With the things that happened to the cast in RL. I know lots of people can separate it, and I mostly can for other fandoms, but not that one for some reason.

Same, but I think it's because Glee is supposed to be all clean shaven and to know stuff about the cast RL taints it? I dunno.

Stargaaaaaate! It's fun to see a lot of people who dabbled in the Stargate (SG-1 and Atlantis) fandom :)

I think it holds up perfectly. Hewlett actually had a viewing party on twitch the other day of the ep 48 hours. It was hilarious.

I think the Military aspect is a side note, everyone fell in love with the characters and story telling.

I wrote a few Stargate fics with my partner in crime back in the day and we've been thinking about revisiting it as a fandom to write in.

That sounds like a plan! They've been calling me as well. I'm still trying to resist.

I was also around 14 when I was allowed unrestricted access online -- and I fell into the fic rabbit hole pretty fast. I remember staying up until 3 or 4 in the morning reading these incredible works (at that time it was Sailor Moon).

Man - the memories!!
