I am surprised and pleased that you have heard of Legend of Dragoon! I aim to one day finish that game. Sadly it has been impossible because I sucked when I first played it and got stuck in that town attack reeeeally early in the game, then when I got past there the disc froze. So I got a new copy. And now near the end of disc 2, the disc freezes. IT DOES NOT WANT ME TO COMPLETE IT.
Here's what I remember:
The first slash fic I ever read anything of was when I was 12 and it was explicit NC-17 Frodo/Sam slash which a friend linked me to. Being a wide-eyed innocent, I refused to speak to her for a few months afterwards. :P
My first ever fic was written for A Series of Unfortunate Events. It had pretty much no plot whatsoever, and was just an attempt for me to emulate Lemony Snicket's writing style. The first fandom I ever read fics in was the Mediator except for the aforementioned Lord of the Rings fic.
I used to "spork" fics when I was about 13 or 14, which I don't really do anymore. I'm now more of a "review and actually give some balanced but constructive criticism... or alternately squee like a fangirl" person.
I always used to go on themed reads: for example, time travel fics in Harry Potter. Then I would get very, very annoyed at how samey they were and how you could practically make a checklist of everything that would happen.
A good few years ago now a friend and I decided that because our fandom's fics were rather predictable (one of two pairings, usually in a love triangle setting) that we would do up a sub character into being a main character and have the most ridiculous things we could think of happen in it instead, and not using the main characters so much. It was a total crack!fic, and since we were writing in the first person POV of a fairly ditzy character - though we exaggerated her idiocy a lot - the narrative contained lots of "like", "soooo" and "totally". (It got a surprisingly positive response from people sick of samey fics!) This was the Mediator fandom.
