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

I dabbled with writing from a young age, but my first fanfic was posted in May 2002. My first fandom was probably Star Trek, but I never wrote any stories for that; it was soon to be swallowed up by my main fandom, Lord of the Rings/Tolkien -- which is still my main fandom, and the one I wrote in and still write in! I was a reader of Tolkien since the age of 12, but I didn't get inspired to write in the fandom until after the first of the films came out in 2001.

The only other fandom I have written and posted in is Major (baseball anime/manga). I also have a number of story ideas for Naruto which I have written down and kept track of, but I doubt I'll ever write them, as there are too many LotR stories to be told.

Have you ever drifted over into LOTRiPS fandom (LOTR Real Person Slash)? I know a lot of Tolkein fans consider that as being like "the dark side," but there are (or were last time I was around) a lot of really creative people in that fandom writing some really interesting fics.

I'm familiar with the fandom, but I've never actually read anything in it. Myself, I'm more a fan of the characters than the Real People who played them, but a number of my online friends in the LotR community (all of whom are very creative writers!) have written in that fandom.

My wife got into the fandom and started passing on some of the stories to me. I was just really impressed at the amount of research and worldbuilding that went into some of the stories.
