Thirty Days of Fanfic Meme
Jun. 2nd, 2011 03:55 amSince I haven't really been writing much here aside from posting story updates and stupid video and news links.
1 – How did you first get into writing fanfic, and what was the first fandom you wrote for? What do you think it was about that fandom that pulled you in?
My first fandom, I'm pretty certain, was Star Trek TOS (The Only Series back then) when I was pre-teenager. I din't know I was writing fanfic at the time, just that I ended up writing a short scene with Kirk, Spock and McCoy going on a roller coaster for a creative writing assignment in class. I got into the show because back in the late-seventies if you were a young science fiction fan who wanted The Good Stuff to watch on TV, it was Star Trek, The Twilight Zone or nothing. Okay, once PBS showed 2001: A Space Odyssey, but even back then I knew that was beyond weird.
