My first story was a Take That one, it was actually so bad I can't really remember it very well (it's long gone, thank god!). I'm pretty sure it was about Jason meeting a waitress who happens to be called Steph, they fell for each other after she spilled a drink down him. It was awful :D

Aww... :)
I know, it's hard to remember a world without the internet! I know we got AOL in about 1996; I remember I was in 6th grade, and my username had something to do with my cat Freckles, which was my mom's idea. I don't remember actually using the internet much until Titanic came out, and then I started going on Titanic sites... which eventually led to BSB sites later that same year (1998)... which eventually led me to fanfic in 1999! That is when I really got obsessed with the internet.

How did I get so far behind?
Thanks for all the comments, I never thought of myself as any of those words before (except maybe complex lol) but after reading them I can see how they do fit me.
I am trying to think of the one word for the authors I have read but I will have to think about it, I'm never very good at these "one word description" type things but I will think about it.
My first fanfic was BSB though it was never posted online. It was only written in a notebook with my friend and it was very much a soap opera! It was how the guys were convinced that Brian and Lore were meant to be but they were too shy to do anything about it so they, with the help of Lore's friend Amanda, trapped them in an elevator to force them to talk. Suffice to say they did, and they hooked up, Amanda got together with AJ and then they moved into a house together and Lore and Brian eventually had a massive breakup and then Lore was in a car accident... it was... uh ... yeah.... lol
The first I published online was the original version of Messing With Magic (have since rewritten from memory as I'd lost the original).
I don't think I've started any trends ... my ideas are too far out there for many people to want to duplicate... but I have jumped on the bandwagon of others. I have vampire stories, I have a story with one of the guys with amnesia (guess which one that is heehee), I have a bus break down story. I'd like to think I took those trends and melded them into stories that suit my own style but who knows, I did enjoy writing them all though. :)

I love how teenybopper all our first fanfics were! These descriptions are cracking me up. It sounds cute, though!
