Fanfiction: A Brief History

I was drawn in by a simple question at the beginning of my senior year of high school: What's that you're reading? I've never been the same since. First mangas, then fanfics, and before I knew it I was swimming in the deep end. Cardcaptor Sakura will always hold one of two special places in my heart as my first fandom. The other goes to Stargate SG-1. Other fandom loves of mine (if you're curious) include Glee, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Psych, Firefly, Life With Derek, Labyrinth, Tin Man (the miniseries), Bleach, Final Fantasy XII, and Ouran High School Host Club (the anime).

(And Arashi, but that's a special brand of crack that is part fandom and part real-life failtasticness.)

As always, my thanks goes out to my favorite betas, Betsy and Miranda. Without you guys, I wouldn't be writing this because I'd have no idea this wonderful world of fanfiction even existed. And my writings would be littered with those nasty little errors that drive grammar nazis like myself insane.

"To know something is to change it, therefore in knowing something, you've already changed what you think you know so you don't really know it at all: you only know its history."

-- exerpt from The Calcutta Chromosome by Amitav Ghosh

22 October 2009: In case anyone is reading this, yes I'm still alive. School took over last year, but I graduated and... decided to stay in school. Yes, as much as the stress of things like projects and midterms and finals drives me nuts, I have willingly decided to put myself through this thing called the graduate school system all in the hopes of fulfilling my dreams of helping people learn how to speak, read, and communicate better. Which is funny, given how I'm prone to spurts of non-communication...
