October Question Meme: Day Ten

Asked by dhampyresa:

How did you get into fandom?

Interestingly enough, through LiveJournal. I had lurked around other forums and websites previously, but I hadn't really participated in anything until I had joined LJ in early 2003 (through invite code, btw). Aside from the occasional website visit, I actually wasn't even that into being online all that much until like 2001-2002. So basically, LJ was my first gateway to anything fandom. My main fandoms at the time were, of course, Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Harry Potter, and things just grew from there.

It took me quite a while to figure out the mechanics of this site at first, as well. I honestly wasn't familiar with anything re: journaling or communicating with others on the Internet. I can't even recall how I started getting friends. Probably from communities and such.
