Challenge #2:
In your own space, talk about your fannish origin story.

I started reading fanfic on and off starting at 12/13 after I discovered a Sailor Moon fansite on accident. I started actually participating in fandom when in early 2007. I was watching Smallville (that's what the SV in my username stands for) and while I had other ships, I really fell hard for this rare pair, Clark Kent/Oliver Queen, after Justin Hartley had a minor role in the show for the first half of season 6. Only a few people were writing it (there was maybe less than 10 fics?) and I was so desperate for content that one day, I figured "maybe I'll write some". So I created a Livejournal, wrote my fic, and the rest is history. I liked other fandoms/ships but I was mostly mono fandom back then.

I was there for a few years, took a year break, and then was back for another couple of years. I drifted away from LJ/fandom/writing fic about a year about Smallville ended, having lost my motivation. I was into Tumblr RP for a while and mostly got away from fandom after that. I was reading fic now and then in the years that followed, but it took the pandemic to get me back into it. I was working from home and I suddenly felt the urge to start writing fic again. So I did and got onto Dreamwidth when it felt more comfortable than LJ and began to participate in fandom and later on exchanges. I've stuck around ever since. :)
