The girl in the corner said boy, I gotta warn ya

Meme from everywhere!

First TV show I had self-insertion fantasies about:

Probably Sesame Street? I have vague memories of pretending I could meet Snuffy and Big Bird.

First fandom in which I interacted (online and in person) with other fans:

X-Men comicverse. My family first got internet my senior year in high school (Web TV. For reals) and it was literally a matter of hours before I joined the Gambit Fan Club (remember email lists?) and from there I found CFAN and was able dive in headfirst.

(Unless wrestling counts? I've been going to wrestling shows since way before we had internet, but that's kind of like claiming I'm in the Jets fandom because I went to a game.)

Pairing in the first (m/m) slash fanfiction I read:

Something X-Men related, probably Bobby/Remy. First slash pairing I ever tried to write was Clark/Lex, though. Ah, Smallville.

First RPS/RPF I read:

I've never really been into RPF. When I was into TNA I shipped AJ Styles/Christopher Daniels, but even then I was way more interested kayfabe stories (them as their on screen characters) than standard RPS.

First fanfiction I read that made me think, YES, this is exactly the kind of fanfiction I'd like to write...

Oh, that's easy. "Split-Second Decision," by Lori McDonald, then her Gestalt Arc. There were so many good writers in old-school X-Men fandom.

Pairing in the first fanfiction I wrote:

Successfully wrote, as in posted? Probably Peter/Claude from Heroes. I shipped 9/Rose and 9/Rose/Jack hard but my DW fic leaned more gen, really. I tried to write Clark/Lex but never actually finished anything. My being anything close to successful at this whole fanfiction thing is a pretty recent development.

First OTP:

He-Man/Sorceress.:) (I remember my tiny self being so enraged when the show would push He-Man/Teela.) Oh, and Maria/Luis on Sesame Street! I still vividly remember those episodes!

First RPS/F OTP:

I guess AJ/Daniels? I'm still not really sure that counts.

First fannish friend I met in person:

Still haven’t.:(

First character I formally roleplayed:

Canon character? I played Rhodey in a game briefly but I don't think I have otherwise. I do a ton of roleplaying but even the online stuff has been mostly original characters.

We are going to fix this, for goodness sake. One day soon, we're going to have a fangirl weekend where we do nothing but pig out on junk food and watch the most squee-worthy episodes of all our favorite shows. *nod nod* Fair warning. ;)

Also, this: (remember email lists?)

OMG YES. *cackles like mad* Back in the days of dial-up service and e-mail accounts that were assigned, not chosen, based on whatever service you had. *shakes head fondly*

Aw.:) *smishes* You could get me into SGA! (And 5-0, since I haven't actually seen that yet. I just read fic for it:)

*shakes head fondly*

I once had someone refuse to believe that Web TV was a thing that had existed. They honestly thought I was messing with them and couldn't wrap their minds around the idea that we didn't have a computer.:)

[morganoconner.livejournal.com]

You...haven't seen Five-0? WHAT? Okay, this is happening. Definitely. We need to fix this horrible, horrible tragedy.

LOL oh dear! That's like the way teenagers today don't believe that a time ever existed where they couldn't have had a cell phone.

I run game on Monday and it's not on demand or on Netflix! It's not that I don't want to see it!

Maria/Luis! My five-year-old self thought having them as parents would be THE BEST THING EVER. Getting to live with them *on Sesame Street* would've just been a happy bonus. *g*

(Thank you so much for the dragon! I'm not entirely sure what gesture he's making, but it cracks me up to ponder the possibilities. :)

I still remember the episode where Big Bird catches the two of them holding hands crossing the street and asks why, since they're grown ups and that's when they realize they're ~in love~. Cue tiny squeeful me. (Clearly shippers are born, not made.:)

(Aw, you're welcome! Free vgifts are the best vgifts!)

I think 99% of my self-insertion thoughts are just about hanging out in the places where some shows are.
