First fanfic you ever wrote? - 01/31/08 11:15 PM
Because people are complaining about dead boards, here's a "tell me a story" post for you.
When did you write your first fanfic? What was it about? What prompted you to write it?
I'll get the ball rolling by saying that I actually wrote my first fanfic before I knew what fanfic was, before the internet existed outside of the computers of a few scientists. It wasn't until many years later that I heard the term "fanfic."
I think I was maybe 8 or 9, and I came across a women's magazine where they include longish stories for entertainment. I recall very little about the actual plot of the story, but I do remember that I was furious with the ending. Desperate to assuage my anger, I hunted up some sheets of paper and rewrote the ending. I then stapled it into the magazine and returned it to wherever I got it from.
So somewhere...there may be a magazine floating around with my story attached. Or maybe someone burned it. Hard to say.
And that is how I got started in fanfic.
