logans_girl2001It's that time again!
The first challenge this year was to update your fandom information. I have never had anything in the bio section of my profile but I added a few things. I feel like it's very bland and like I left a bunch of stuff out, but I did it.
The second challenge was to talk about your fandom origin story. I've told this story a few times but I'll do so again.
I claim X-men as my first fandom because after my brother would read his comics, he'd let me have them. Logan, Remy, and Jubliee are my faves. Then I moved on to what I call bandom because I would make up stories about Adam Ant and the members of A-ha. I also started making up stories about the show Air Wolf. I did not write any of these down; mostly because I didn't think about it but also because I was never encouraged to be creative.
I became involved in my first fandom in 2000 when Sci-Fi (I refuse to spell it the new way because I think it's stupid) Channel premiered The Invisible Man and Farscape. I started on the bboards on the website and moved on to the Yahoo Group for The Invisible Man that a fan created.
From that I moved on to CSI: Miami. Although, I didn't considered myself a true fan until after Tim Speedle was killed off.
In 2000 I had discovered fanfiction.net and was looking for stories to read. I stumbled across several stories written by BJ Jones. One of those stories had Speed as a vampire.
In 2005 I got an idea for a story. I posted it to the Yahoo Group for BJ Jones that I belonged to but no one wanted to write it, so I did.
That lead me to write 86 stories across eight fandoms (88 stories if you count the two original ones).
While I mostly write for myself, I do take requests. I only ask that you take a look at my AO3 first to make sure you like my writing style.
I say this only because I once had someone 'buy' me in a fandom auction and during the discussion phase it came out that I write first person present. They said that if they had known I write in first person (I now also write third person present), they would not have bought me. I felt bad and so I paid them back the money they spent on me.
