you won't make yourself a name if you follow the rules

snowflake_challenge prompt 2:

In your own space, talk about your fannish history.

So it turns out the earliest Wayback Machine got my Geocities site was 2004.

…This does not serve to answer the question of when my Geocities site went up. Ballpark based on the vintage-2004 Sailormoon Millennia site updates, it was 2002? But also I already knew it was somewhere in the 2002 vicinity? I knew I was at this at thirteen, is what I'm getting at. What I want to know is, how much earlier.

Anyway apparently I function best in particular corners of megafandoms:

• Sailor Moon: Sailormoon Millennia
• Harry Potter: Dangerverse
• Supernatural: spn_bitesized
• Miraculous Ladybug: this particular Discord mostly

And I bet the reason I didn't get intensely into Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters in the same way is at least partly because I never found the right corner of the fandom.

Also, Yuletide-type exchangefic fandom is awesome.

and no, I will not make it easy for y'all to find anything of mine on the internet that is older than my AO3 account. do your own detective work. or don't. kind of rather you don't. 😸
