I'm not sure how many stories I actually read on it, but at least the titles of some of those are familiar. She's actually one who still has a site online, although it looks like she hasn't updated it since 2009. http://bsbfantasies2.angelfire.com/index.html I forgot she was hosting one of my stories LOL.

Yep, not everything ever got moved which is why I have the old one in my bookmarks too. Her and I used to talk often, the last time I think was when that Tanja mess happened for the very first time.

Oh yeah, cause Sammy was one of the first wave of stories Tanja stole.

I do think it's funny that pretty much all those sites and authors that were so popular and esteemed in the fandom are gone now, and those of us who were just peons back in the day are still here and have become respected writers in the fandom.
Izzy's site went down with Geocities, but it's well archived through either archive.org or one of the Geocities mirror sites. http://www.oocities.org/ocean_izzy/ Some of her stories are actually on Angelfire, so those are really still online.

LOL I know right? I find it funny too. I mean I started on fanfic when I was only thirteen. My first stories on fanfic.net were actually original fiction, (this was pre-fictionpress) and then I discovered BSB fanfic there and on fansites and I got sucked in LOL. Thirteen years later I'm still going at it which is totally crazy. Especially when you hear newer ones mention you as a "popular writer" (Hannah and I had a discussion with someone about this on twitter recently LOL) because you still think of yourself as that peon you started off as.

Yup, but we did catch up because of that lol.
mare:
I can honestly say I never even read the stuff on the BSB Attorney's site. Back then when I was first starting out, I didn't even realize there was such a variety of stories because besides the one visual I happened upon, all the other stuff seemed to be stories I really enjoyed reading. lol
RokofAges75:
It seemed like there was more of a variety back then, but because everyone had their own sites and there were so many to choose from, it was easy to find places that had the kind of stories you liked and stick to that circle. I mostly read drama and suspense back in the day, same genres I prefer now, but it was easier to find them back then.
Next question: What were some of your favorite fanfic sites when you first started reading them?
Mine are linked on my site: http://dreamers-sanctuary.com/fanfic/extras/links/ (some down in the Link Graveyard at the bottom), but my top three were probably Jenna's site (Backstreet Boys Stories), Jen's site (JJ's Stories/Imagine Fan Fiction), and Whitney's site (The Perfect Fans Fan Fiction). All three of those had great drama and suspense stories, and Jenna and Jen may as well have been my medical drama dopplegangers.
