Once upon a time, when I was a teenager back in the 90s, a coffee shop opened in my hometown. I laughed a lot putting this post together, and I’m also overcome by fits of nostalgia for Usenet and mailing lists and eFiction archives.įeel free to share your story in the comments if you didn’t get a chance to send yours in!įirst up, we have stories from your discriminating fangirls. But it is really great to read everyone’s very different experiences with discovering fanfic, and some of you have really hilarious stories.
We asked you to share stories about how you lost your fanfic virginity, and holy crap, did we get a huge response! Sixty-one of you awesome people sent us your stories, so this is going to be a very long post.
