What a fun topic!
Since it was some time in... oh, '98 or so, I don't remember my first fic. It was probably Dawning, stumbled on by accident, read on Debby's ftp site. Which directed me to Margaret's website. Which had a link the archive, which was an ftp site at the time too. And then the fic list, which I mistakenly assumed was for sneak peaks at upcoming archived fics. I joined just as a massive OT thread began about street names, and nearly unsubscribed. Good thing I stuck around, huh?
Sigh. Happy memories.
