hils2. Your first fandom and first OTP
Well, I suppose it depends how you define fandom. I have very clear memories of being into the band Take That when I was 12-13. My walls were covered in posters and I bought just about any piece of merchandise I could get my hands on. It was a pretty solitary thing though. I didn't really know anyone who was into them as much as me. I certainly didn't slash any of them either. I didn't even know what slash was back then
In terms of online fandom it was Buffy. I'd been a fan of the show since it aired and I checked out a couple of eGroups (or FindMail as it was called back then) and someone asked me if I wrote fanfic. I didn't even know what it was. LOL! So, after that I was pretty much hooked. I read any and all fics I could get my hands on. It was Buffy/Angel for a VERY short period but I soon latched onto Buffy/Spike and that was that. Not long after this discovery I wrote my first fic and the rest, as they say, is history
Buffy what what also got me to go to my first convention. YAY!
Incidentally the Buffy fandom was what brought me into slash too. I acidentally read a fic that I thought was Buffy/Spike but it turned out to be Spike/Angel. There was bloodplay and then feeding from each other which I found incredibly hot but not enough to fully deviate from my OTP
My first slash OTP was Jack/Norrington from Pirates of the Caribbean and that was also the first slash pairing I wrote (I think). I still have a lot of love for that fic actually.
