A Random Question, Answered

When did you start writing fanfic? Do you still write in the fandom you started with? And how many fandoms have you written for? Also, when did you first learn about fanfiction in the first place? And how did you even find out? Did you search for it, or did you just stumble across it by chance?

It was many, many years ago. I didn't even know what fanfiction was. I wrote the piece for a school assignment (I think I was in 3rd grade?). It was for King Arthur's Disasters. That was the first and last time I wrote for that fandom (does it even have one?).

I primarly write for Doctor Who; however, I have been branching out. I have written for 10 different fandoms, all but one (the aforementioned DW) are obscure. I ended up creating the tags for Ich und die Kaiserin, The Blue Parrot and Contraband (1940) on AO3 lol.

I was introduced to fanfiction by an old goth acquaintance back when we were 12/13. She was reading fic for some anime, told me about it, and when I asked if there was some for DW, she said that there's fic about everything (oh, the naivety of children). I started reading on FanFiction.Net, but it was too dry when it came to Classic Who (well, the parts of Classic Who I was interested in anyway). I ended up immersing myself on Teaspoon and defunct Livejournal blogs and communities. Then came AO3.

Yay for obscure fandoms! Have you heard of bethefirst? It's running right now, and it sounds like something you might be interested in! <3

Yay!

I think I've heard of it. Sounds interesting, but I'm not sure what fandom I would write for it.

Unless... I actually set myself to watch Dark Journey (since I heard the film is meh and the ending is awful)... And the only work on AO3 is a fanvid...

Oh dear...

Do it! \o/ I remember this film being OK, not life-changing or anything, but an entertaining watch--a bit too heterosexual for my taste, though! XD And the ending is kind of open and uncertain, so it really needs some post-canon fic! :D

Maybe I will, maybe I will 👀

Now, to prepare myself to not die because of pretty eyelashes man...

Yay for obscure fic writing! Alas no fic for all thingies in the world.

And if there isn't fic, well, if you want to get things done, you have to do it yourself :D
