So, going over some of the older fics that led me into fanfics got my eyes misting over about the "good ol' days", when my standards were much lower and bad spelling and grammar was glossed over. I think I also remembered haggling over holographic first edition pokemon cards too.

Anyways, reminisce about how great (or terrible) fanfics were back in the 90s or whenever you first started reading them, get misty eyed about writers who have moved out of the fanfic community, and post links if you want. I'll start off with Gregg Sharp/Metroanime with his Bets series. <a href='http://www.asynjor.com/fanfic/sharp.html' target='_blank' rel='nofollow'>Here's where I found them first.</a> Definitely some of the most fun readings I've had, though a lot of them felt like they were cut short. Especially with how Wild Horses and Pokeboys ended, though it was done rather well. Thinking about it now, the logistics of fleshing it out would have proven to be overly cumbersome, so it was probably the best way of carrying out that plot ideas.

I actually only found out about Fanfiction late 2004-early 2005.

My introduction to fanfiction was in 1999. Browsing the web (before Google was a big hit, hard to believe) in search of Sailor Moon fanfiction.

Damn, I loved it. Geocities was a wellspring of creamy shit and fanfiction.

Took me another three years to find FF.net and another two years after that to actually REGISTER with the place, after I lost my bookmarks when changing PCs (instead of, say, registering in 2003 and favouriting all of those stories. >>)

I can't say I miss the SM fandom much, though.
