What was your first experience with internet fandom and subculture?

I have a short answer and a long answer.

Short answer: My friend used to print off fanfics for me in middle school and I'd read them.

Long answer: For a long, long while I just didn't have internet access. Fanfics got passed to me through friends, and as far as I was aware that's where fandom ended. People posted fics, others read them, and friends irl talked about them. That's what I knew for several years.

It wasn't until I was on AO3 in maybe 2014 or 2015 and stumbled across people mentioning their tumblrs that I learned about fandom culture beyond that (which is funny, considering I'd studied and done research papers in college on Vocaloid, which is driven by fandom. I really just didn't know fanfiction and fanart could create a community, despite the fact that it drives marketing for those voice programs). I made a tumblr, I followed a bunch of people in the Naruto fandom, and then tried posting about my writing on here.

So, really, I count tumblr as my first real experience. Fanfiction gave me a taste, but it was just like perusing a library and picking out books, not like going to a book club and really discussing it with people. I started to share my writing, I made friends, I've met friends even.

I don't really think I was into fandom when I was just reading printed off fanfics that my friend thought I might like. I was into the stories, I was into learning what my friend(s) loved, but fandom was this vast space I knew nothing about. I really do think that sharing my writing and following fellow writers here on tumblr was my real first experience (and very quickly meeting @raendown and becoming friends with her shortly after). The connection is what I consider the real first experience, what really made the subculture real.

Something something, fandom is the friends you make along the way, something something

hi hi hi jas hello... im sending u the 😳 emoji for ur ask game. also it was rlly fun to hear your voice on the accent challenge!!! somehow it was EXACTLY what i thought youd sound like

It’s wild that you pictured my voice exactly like it sounded. That’s some magic shit!!

😳 - what do I think of you:

RAE RAE RAE RAE RAE. You are like bottled sunshine, your presence is so sunny, warm and all encompassing. I feel light and airy in your (online) presence. You are so fun and silly and just remind me so much of my friends in real life (which is a huge compliment). What I love about your presence too, is it doesn’t feel fake. Sometimes people who are so outgoing are just over-acting but that’s who you are, and you embrace it. While you are sunshine, you also show a range of good and healthy emotions and express those as well, in ways that aren’t toxic at all.

I loved when you arrived on glee tumblr you were honest that yoh hadn’t finished the show and we’re going to be slow at watching it, but wanted a fandom experience. I hope we gave you a really positive one!! It was also amazing that we have different opinions but mutual respect, and we didn’t cross any boundaries with each other (and you didn’t with anyone else too). Icon behaviour.

Also you’re so hilarious and that comes across in your headcanons and general energy. I know I’m in for a laugh when your around.

All round you are a top notch person who I love dearly and could probably talk more about it, but I’ll stop now!

💫 , 🎄?

💫- what are your sun, moon and rising signs?

Sun sign - Cancer

“Cancer is a very sensitive sign, and they don't always appreciate it when you are blunt with them. Their reactions to hurt will depend on how thick a shell they have developed. Most Cancers react by withdrawing or retreating.”

Moon sign - Gemini

“Lunar Geminis are usually pleasant, witty, and charming people. At home and with family, however, they can be moody and irritable at times.”

Rising sign - Cancer

“Cancer rising is the “I’m baby” rising sign. These people can seem a little naive only because they use vulnerability as a shield.”

🎄- what’s your favourite holiday?

This one’s hard bc I love pretty much all of them (except Halloween) but I’d probably go for Christmas, bc I’m a winter baby and nothing makes me happier than (contained) fires and snuggly blankets, also jesusssss

hush I'm coming to give you a hug

RAE 🥺💙🥺💙

“w-wh.....” he was startled, fumbling with words at the moment. He caused a silly accident, turning too fast and hitting them with his arm. The two had the perfect height distance--his elbow could go right to their face. Although it was barely a hit at all, he was anxious anyways.      “a-are you alright?”
