When did you first start writing fanfic? What was your first fandom?

I started writing fanfic around 2006. The first fandom I wrote in was Firefly. My first story was written before I'd ever seen the show, based just on the Wikipedia entry and other fanfics. It's still available at http://archiveofourown.org/works/9133438

It's kind of funny how there are a lot of fandoms I love that I've never written for: Star Trek, Star Wars, Buffy/Angel, Leverage.

The story I started writing (and posted chapter 1 of) today is in K-pop (specifically Blackpink) fandom. The thing that gets everything started is that one of the girls starts reading fanfic about the band and decides she prefers the fanfic version of one of her bandmates to the real thing. If you want, you can read it at http://www.asianfanfics.com/story/view/1287342/out-of-her-shell-rose-girlxgirl-jisoo-jenniekim-jennie-lisa-blackpink-jisooblackpink-lisoo-lisablackpink-roseblackpink-jennieblackpink (If I could change once thing about asianfanfics.com, it's how they put all the story's tags in the URL.)

I haven't heard of asianfanfics until now. Even through I don't write such stories anymore I still like to read them from time to time.

I hadn't heard of it either until someone I was talking in comments on AO3 told me about it. It's really a fun place - very active and very interactive. So long as you take a few minutes to learn what tags they use for what (e.g. 99% of the time they use "girlxgirl" instead of "femslash") you can find the fics that interest you or, if you're a writer, get your fics in front of the people will be interested in them.
