There is a stranger in my house working on the dryer which probably needs replaced but I don't blame my landlord for wanting to attempt a repair instead of replacing it yet. I've had more strangers in this place in the not-even-three months I've been here than I'd prefer. sigh
Question from![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
brandywine28 ! What was the first fandom you ever wrote for? First fandom in general (assuming this one has a different answer!)? Baby's first OTP?
Well, er... the first fandom I ever wrote for was Guardian! It's a little surreal to me that I wrote my first fic in May/June of 2019. It seems like forever ago, but when I think about it from just a calendar perspective, it's not long at all. And honestly, I haven't even been reading fic for that long. Maybe ten years or so? Due South was probably the first fandom I interacted with, as well as my first OTP. Those experiences were spaced out by quite a bit, though. I remember watching the show when it was airing and thinking Fraser and RayK had something going on. Whether it was intentional or not, I had no idea (later, reading interviews with Paul Gross about Callum Keith Rennie joining the show, I believe it was intentional). It was such a surprise and a delight to find out, years later, that others saw what I saw and even wrote stories about it!
I very much wish I'd found fandom earlier, but better late than never. I'm certainly grateful to be in it, now.
