The First Baby Step

[polarissruler]

After recently I made a post in my journal about my first fandom, I decided to ask - how did it began to you? What was your first fandom? How did you found it? Did you start writing/drawing/reading/whatever else first? And do you look fondly on those good old days, or not so much?

I watched the original Star Trek on a black and white TV. I overheard a girl in my school talking about Star Trek. I admitted I was a big fan. We'd meet up at her place and talk through our ideas about the characters -- we never thought to write them down.

Somehow we often ended up with Kirk/Spock. The best part was when we acted them out :,)

Guess I began as I meant to go on.

In the immortal words of George Takei: Ohhhh myyyyy. ;)

Perfect!

Ha! My first was also Trek, but it was the animated series I saw on a Saturday morning. It was astoundingly different from anything else I'd seen. I got my parents to watch and my mother noted that reruns of the live show were airing each night. It was the only thing my whole family watched together.
