I think I am pretty safe to say this here, since my sister very rarely posts here anymore, but I'm pretty sure she wrote The Lost Boys fanfic at about 12.
Wash: So, two days in a hospital? That's awful. Don't you just hate doctors? Simon: Hey. Wash: I mean, present company excluded. Jayne: Let's not be excluding people. That'd be rude.

Natter 64: Yes, we still need you

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh, I remembered one geeky thing. I kept a diary in the dwarf-runes from LOTR for a few months when I was 16.
Aha! Fannish as fuck.
but I'm pretty sure she wrote The Lost Boys fanfic at about 12.
Aha! I'll file that one away, you may be sure.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Yeah, I had the dwarf rune diary thingummy too. But then me and my best friend made up our own code, you know, for added security.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh God, how awesome would that be?
It would be SO awesome.
I see you all doing "I'm Mad" or possibly "I'm Cute."
You must be a Goth!Dot some day.
All you'd need is a red nose and a daisy hair tie.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
While I am not having to do as much as Aimee for our party today. I was the only organizer and had to wrangle people all day about their gifts as well as answer about 100 questions regarding the gift exchange - and all the regular year-end invoice processing still had to get done as well as emergency shipping crap with a vendor. grr. My boss left the office at 11, did I mention that?

You do realize that one of my best friends put "I'm Cute" on the compilation CD she made that was All About Jilli, right?
(Also, back in my vampire LARPing days, a group of us very nearly convinced the storyteller to let us create characters based off of Wakko, Yakko, and Dot. Yes, I was going to be Dot.)

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
In the sixth grade, I wrote "Man from U.N.C.L.E." stories that my classmates passed around and read. There was no slash, but I seem to recall a Mary Sue, in the form of my older and much more kick-ass alter ego. Fortunately, they didn't survive various moves. I also spent all my allowance on DC comics.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
How did your fannish geekiness first emerge?
About a week after I saw Star Wars, when I started role-playing my made-up SW stories on the playground with my second-grade BFF. She was a good Leia.
Did anyone else hear this in Manuel's voice, from Fawlty Towers?
Every time. It makes the internets a happier place (as long as you're not actually Manuel).
