Frankenstein's Meme: Q15
Q15. What was the first thing you ever contributed to a fandom?
I think it must have been a Robin of Sherwood fanfic that I sent in to a fanzine called Channel D which published it. These days it's up on AO3. It has 8 kudos, which is about parr for the course for my Robin of Sherwood fanfics, but it also has more hits so its kudos-to-hit ratio is probably worse than the others. I must have been about 16 when I wrote it so I wouldn't necessarily expect great things of it, but I remember it fondly and and I think it's probably the best of the fanfics I wrote in my teens, for what that is worth.
I think I had sent the odd letter into the Doctor Who Appreciation Society newsletter before that. I'm not sure. I certainly had a letter defending Bonnie Langford published in The Celestial Toyroom some time around 1986 and while, I think, most of fandom has revised its opinion of her performance upwards, I have to say, I have revised mine downwards.
