| How did you first find out about fanfiction, and what made you start writing it?
I wrote my first fanfiction back when most of you weren't even born -- like many of my generation, it was about Star Trek (the original series). I moved on from there to Dark Shadows, The Young Rebels (don't ask, it wasn't on long enough), The Fantastic Journey (ditto), and finally back to my fanfic roots with Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. For me, fanfic always began with something I really thought the writers could be doing better -- generally in terms of who I thought should be madly in love with whom.  I was astonished to discover others pursuing the same (or different) quests than I, and loved going to conventions where I could count on lugging home many delightful purchases of all sorts of fanfic.
So, how did y'all discover fanfic? What drives you to write it? __________________ Because the danger is on the right!
