When I was in junior high she and I would surf the web for Nick Carter stuff, and somehow, around that time I stumbled across fanfiction and started printing it out for my friends at school. This was around '98-'99. I did try my hand at writing fanfic as a tween, but rather than posting it online my friends and I would write it in spiral notebooks and share it with each other that way.

In high school, I followed a lot of those fanfic mailing lists on yahoo groups, where people post their updates chapter by chapter and you get them in your e-mail. I did a lot of fic reading but never any writing, except for the first chapter of a story that I posted to the mailing list. The rest of the fic never got off the ground.  ::)

I also had a small Nick fanfic archive site, and while looking for stories I liked to add to it, I came across Mare's work, which eventually led me to AC back in 2003.

I will say Mizpah was among one of the first stories I actively read here LOL.

mare:
aww lol

Now that I think about it the first fanfic I ever read was by Carrie. It was the Swollen Issues series. I then stumbled across AC and the first fanfic I read here was Mizpah. I also think its interesting how everybody here says they read mare's stuff first...almost everybody that is

mare:
Yeah, all the cool people! LOL :P

It's nice to know that later on some of the newer writers will be the answer to this question because of sites like AC where there's such a big variety of things to choose from.
