Apr. 25th, 2009 07:47 am1. Do you remember your first ever thing you were fannish about as a wee one?
I would say that it was probably Digimon. That was the first show I actively watched and cared about, even going as far as to search online for episode information. I was about twelve years-old.
2. What fandom was your first (fan fic) reading fandom?
That was definitely Digimon! I had yet to discover slash, though, so the goodness of Yamato/Taichi and Daisuke/Ken remained unexplored for many years.
3. Are you very monofannish or a fickle fannish butterfly?
Nah, I gotta have a few fandoms going at a time so I can enjoy other things if and when my main fandom is quiet. I always have one that I'm most devoted to, but I need a few others to tie me over!
4. Did you ever feel really fannish and obsessed about a tv show/movie/book, etc. but without having the desire to write/read fan fic?
I feel that way about most of Joss Whedon's shows. I wouldn't say no if someone linked me to something, but I wouldn't actively search out fic or write any. I adore Buffy, Angel, Firefly, Serenity, and Dollhouse, but I just don't feel like reading or writing any fanfic.
5. Did you ever have a fandom that was totally ruined for you by canon and/or fandom politics?
I think I felt that way about the Harry Potter fandom when it seemed like the Harmony fanatics had stolen the internet for a few months. There was so much wank! It was just excruciating and unbearable, and I think that was when I started pulling away from the fandom.
6. Where were you fannishly in 2003?
Oh, it was all about the Harry Potter fandom! I was obsessed!
7. Where were you fannishly in 2005?
Harry Potter, The OC Slash, and House MD.
