Almost exactly a year ago - it was the first week of October - I decided to try to look for BLoSC on FF.net (I'd tried before, unsuccessfully), and I found it. Following that came a mad time of copying to Microsoft Word every story that looked like it could be good. At the same time, I was also discovering the rest of the fandom on dA and YouTube, and old parts of the fandom (Star Command message board).
Eleven months ago, I checked out the XR fan club for the first time. I was also in the midst of a wonderful fit of fanfiction writing, even though I didn't know for sure that I'd ever post it. I also began to download the episodes that were starting to appear on YouTube - until then, I'd only had the movie, 5.1 taped episodes, and the memory of 6-ish more that I'd seen on TV 7.5 years before.
Ten months ago - first week of December - I registered on FF.net and posted up what I had. By the next day, I had already received 8 reviews and a couple of favorites, as well - extremely encouraging start to my fandom career.
Still in December, I got to be friends with Kila and Saron, found my biggest fan in KJ, and read SLWatson's private fic One Hundred Days, which permanently influenced my writing.
Seven and a half months ago - mid-February - I registered here, and have never regretted it.
Six and a half months ago - mid-March - I joined in my first true BLoSC roleplay, which is still going strong. It's been a crazy, wonderful journey all the way.
Two and a half months ago - mid-July - Kila asked me if I wanted to be King of Town, and I agreed. It's been interesting, to say the least. (King of a dying then reviving forum? Ai-yi-yi-yi!)
There's more to my little fandom timeline, but those are the highlights.
It's been fantastic, guys. I haven't even completed my first year of involvement yet, but here's to another great here with you!
Cheers!
