Snowflake Challenge 10: Fandom Firsts

In your own space, talk about one of your fandom firsts.

When I was a teenager, there was no internet and I had never read fan fiction written by others. I don't think I knew it even existed - I had no way of finding out. I joined a science fiction club and it was great meeting fellow fans.

One day, I saw someone at the club with a publication that was a collection of Phantom of the Opera fan fiction - my mind was blown. Not that it existed, but that someone had gone to the trouble of painstakingly putting it together and physically printing it out.

That was a fandom first I remember to this day.

That's so xool! There is something about having a physixal copy of something that makes it all the more special. The first fic I ever wrote, I had published and distributed at a conference (along with a lot of other authors) and I didn't realize at the time how precious and special it was because I've never had the opportunity to do it again.
