first canon I felt fannish about: Either Star Trek: The Next Generation or Star Wars

first canon I wrote fanfic for: ST: TNG, breathless handwritten nonsense Riker adventures, probably

thing I've been most obsessed with/fannish about without ever being even adjacent to its fandom: I’m really not sure. RENT, for a while, I guess; I really loved it but it didn’t occur to me at the time that there were other people I could talk about it with.

first online fandom: Dragonriders of Pern message boards and play-by-email RPGs on AOL

online fannish trajectory: Pern, Buffyverse, Firefly, Hornblower, BSG, bandom, hockey, with scattered small fandoms and one-offs throughout

online platform trajectory: AOL message boards, LiveJournal, Dreamwidth/AO3, Twitter, Tumblr, currently a blend of the last three.

first fic posted online: Boondock Saints twincest

fandom with the most fics written: Bandom, by far.

OTPs over the years: Fred/Gunn, Kaylee/Jayne, Horatio/Archie, Pete/Gabe, Pete/Mikey, Beckett/Carden, Ekblad/Mitchells, Benncest

thing I feel closest to fannish about without having written a word of fic (posted or not): the late-90s/early 2000s Red Wings

my weirdest unfinished fic: I had a really epic bandom slavefic with turns into revolution planning and erotic art that I never finished.

my weirdest finished fic: Oh god, take your pick.

fandom with multiple abandoned fics and no finished ones at all: I’m not sure, honestly, hard drive crashes have wiped that slate clean several times.

most upsetting research topic undertaken for fic-writing purposes: I don’t do a lot of research, tbh.

oddest purchase for fannish research: I don’t think I’ve bought anything for research purposes. I'm not doing great at this meme.

longest-held primary fandom: Star Trek and Star Wars go back about the same distance in my life and I will luv them forever.

geekiest possession/expenditure: Ekblad jersey. Or maybe Team Finland jersey. Or the various 24-hour trips I made for bandom shows.

single geekiest activity: All… of… this…

fannish activity I've never done and would like to: I think I’ve done the ones I want to. I even did vidding, back in the day, with Windows Movie Maker and a CD of ripped Firefly episodes.

random geeky bonus: I’m probably going to buy the Geno and Pekka hockey funko pops this year. I don’t know why. I just know I’m gonna.
