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?

Late 60s, The Jungle Books by Kipling, age 8, quickly followed in the next few years by Star Trek on the black and white TV and ACD's Sherlock Holmes and The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.

"Cos"play (acting out characters, wearing things symbolic of the characters) and stories in my head mostly.

Mid 70s, my first experience of sharing fandom with others was in high school, my gfs and I wrote fanfic about our favorite band.

As a kid I also had lots of stories in my head. (I say kid, but kept doing it as a teen, too).
