Jun. 23rd, 2011 06:41 pmWhile I did catch up on LJ/DW yesterday I didn't write one email or read one story. I blame my flist/twitter people for this as between them they kept talking about Mikey's neck, and also facials, which was an excellent addition to my mental images. 
( But not that kind Mikey Way )
There was also talk of vampire hunters, which made me think of this.( This is the Way bros vampire hunters, Y/Y? )
Now something I saw on friendsfriend which I thought I'd try, where I get to talk about my writing. At least it makes a change from obsessing over Mikey's neck, yeah?
Thirty Days of Fanfic -- Day One.
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?
(1) It was all![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
castalie's fault. Many of you will have heard this before, but I've been friends with Mouse for a long time. We fell into many new fandoms together, reading a ridiculous amount, and one of those was The Sentinel. We pretty much read our way through 852 Prospect and swapped all these emails about Blair, because we were major Blair Babes -- oh man, the old terminology slips back into place so easily, I feel the need to shout, HE'S DAMP NOT DEAD! now.
In one of those emails I wrote this thing about Jim coming in Blair's hair ( TS fandom was obsessed with Blair's hair so it made sense at the time ) I'd never had any real urge to write before that, and pretty much accidentally fell into it, as we encouraged each other to write more and then post.
It was Blair that pulled me in. I'm very much a One True Character person, any fandom I enjoy has that one person I love, and in TS it was Blair. He was cute, opinionated, brave, obviously adored Jim and was a trouble magnet, which of course meant the fandom was full of stories where he was shot, beaten up, raped, attacked, drowned, abused etc. There wasn't a chance I wouldn't be pulled in.
So that was the start of it all. No writing in note books when I was a kid or dreams to write a book. Just emails swapped with a good friend and a Sentinel coming in his Guide's hair.
( The rest of the days )

omens has made me want a bandom version of Lost Boys. People Are Strange would so be a Way song.
