galadriel10101 – 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?
I'd been creating stories for myself for years based on Redwall, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, the Famous Five, etc ad nauseam. I had the crossovers going as well - Harry Potter Mary Sue finds herself on Middle Earth and doesn't change the course of the book but does fall in love with Legolas and the like. But then my dad handed me this. It's an article about fanfiction.net, written by someone who joined the site to find out about it,. Apparently he read it out at the dinner table. A couple of months later I joined the site and the rest, as they say, is history.
The first stories I wrote were self-insert LOTR fics, and I was 13 so they were pretty bad. I was heavily into the fandom at the time and I loved having this huge world to play with. Playing within the story has never been my thing so much as finding the spaces around it, and Middle Earth had such an enormous canvas with such wonderful gaps to fill.
2 – Name the fandoms you've written in, and how much you've written in that fandom, and if you still write in it.
