On my DW, I posted a very long history of my dS fannishness and how I originally got into dS. It's probably going to bore most people because I iz old. But it has links at the end of it to some early (pre-AO3) dsc6d RPS and bad!Ben pages (via the Wayback Machine), with instructions on how to bring up the pages' text (it's light text on a light background - on a laptop, Ctrl-A is your friend with these pages! on a smartphone, you have to touch and drag the entire page with your finger or stylus). Ah, fandom. Even with the unfortunate Ray Wars (I'm a veteran - no gory details), it's still my happy place... plus the war was actually a really short part of the fandom, considering how long dS fandom has been around! 30 years, I can't believe it... but here I am — and happy to be.
