LOL, Sylar was a character I loved in Heroes, even though he was the bad guy :)

I didn't know what fanfic was until 2007 (shocking!). I joined a Take That site and noticed a stories section. Before clicking on it, I thought it was fan encounters and so was surprised when I began reading one, which turned out to be a romance story where she'd met Gary Barlow in a posh hotel and had a fling. It was only as I got more into the story that I realised it was fiction. How naive was I!
So after reading that story and a load of others, I decided to have a go at my own. It was crap and I'm glad that site has been deleted so that no one can see how crap some of my stuff was.
When BSB released Unbreakable, I couldn't get enough of them and decided to have a go at a BSB story (Forces of Nature was my first BSB story and yes, it's a self-insert and very predictable lol). Me and my friend had a site (now deleted) where we posted stories about whoever we wanted, and we also had different sections for talking about whatever we wanted (usually hot men). A girl joined the site and said to check out Absolute Chaos for lots of really good BSB fanfic. So I did and am so glad :)
I was more of a reader when I first got into fanfics, then seemed to balance it out between reading and writing.

Carried around a notebook in high school that my friend and I would write parts (I wasn't allowed to write scenes with me and vice versa) it was fun so when I started CYDMR my friend convinced me to give writng an actual fanfic by myself. I did and I knew there were other writers out there, I didn't read much fanfic until I started my awards turned review site.

That actually sounds really fun, not being allowed to write the scenes with yourself in them! Back when I wrote exclusively self inserts, my friends would sometimes get upset with the situations I put them in, lol. But of course, Nick and Steph always got their happy ending, lmao.
