I don’t usually do question memes but I got tagged in one the other day and I have 20 minutes to kill…

fandom intro question meme 

originally from fandom.ink/@bts_fanfic/1094807 w/the text based list here: tinyurl.com/4373urj7

1) How long have you been in fandom?
It’s difficult to pin down exactly (does being fannish irl with friends count, for example?) but definitely over a decade!

2) Which fandoms are you in now?
Guardian & cdramas in general (I have a lovely watchparty group that I hang out with), star wars (prequel era mostly), & kpop are my main three

3) Do you create transformative works (fic, fan art, podfic, etc.)?
Not that you can currently find online ;)

4) What was your first fandom?
first fancon was harry potter (leaky chicago), first fanfic i wrote was james bond (long story), but the emotionally correct answer here is star trek tos

5) How often has fic made you cry?
…struggling to think of a time i’ve cried over a fic tbh. im sure its happened! but not recently lol

6) Rec a fic that you love!
i reread stark_burnt_heart’s How Does Distance Look? when i can’t sleep (so…often) & when the light goes out by
janonny

7) Who's your ult OTP?
this is not a relevant concept to my relationship with fandom

8) Share a pic that would convince someone to fall for your current fandom!
are there people who can get baited into a fandom from a single pic? not even sure where to start with this tbh

9) Have you ever met a fandom friend IRL?
several! no one currently on fedi but purringvulcan, sadieyuki, flannellizard, & i all spent a weekend together in DC back in 2016 & i’ve since hung out with them offline a few times each for various occasions. my best friend and i have also been dragging eachother into various fandoms for over a decade now

rare pairs, or more accurately small fandoms. I like hanging out in fannish spaces where you can at least kinda know everyone

very multi-fannish as evidenced by my submissions lol
