It's amazing I haven't posted in this thread yet! I've been working on a huge case study for one of my summer classes this week, so I've tried not to let myself get sucked into anything too distracting online.
But now that that's turned in... bring on the nostalgia!
I've been reading fanfic since the summer of 1999... I don't know exactly when in summer I found my first one, but my fifteenth fanfic anniversary should be anytime now! I spent much of that summer completely OBSESSED with reading fanfic, which led to many frustrating fights with my mother over my wanting to tie up the phone line for hours at a time while I was on dial-up or waste printer paper and ink printing stories out. I ended up copy/pasting stories chapter by chapter and saving them to good old-fashioned floppy disks to read on my computer in my room, which did not have internet.
I started writing sometime in late 99 or early 2000, but I didn't get my first finished story hosted online until February 2000. After being hosted for a couple of months and writing a few more stories, I started my own site in April of that year. Still have it, too! I also posted on fanfic.net for a brief time before they got read of RP fanfic. I associate ff.net more with Harry Potter fanfic, though; I don't remember reading a lot of BSB fics on it.
My two favorite authors back in the day (pre-2003) were Whitney (Where Can We Go From Here, Nowhere to Run) and Jenna (Trapped, Swollen Issues, Nick and Lizz). Whitney stopped writing a long time ago, but Jenna is still one of my favorites. There actually weren't many other authors I remember reading multiple stories by, unless they were my friends; I read a lot of stories by a lot of different people. That was back in the days of sites that hosted a lot of stories, so you could find a lot of different authors on the same site, much like AC today.

That's how I met Julie :) She started hosting me on her site. I was also hosted on Izzy's site and I think that girl Bria you were talking about Rose. LOL although I'm not sure. My stories were randomly popping up on other's peoples sites as well that I had no idea about.

Before I started my site, I was hosted on at least a couple of sites, one called Escape from Reality and another called Starlight Catcher's Fanfic Page (something like that), which was run by my friend Heidi, who was actually the first person to give me feedback, ever, and thus became my first online friend and eventual collaborator. I think I had (still have, maybe?) stories hosted on other sites later, but that was if they asked me, instead of me asking them. Once I had my own site, I didn't worry about being hosted other places, although I did post stories on ff.net and later, AC. I actually don't remember how I stumbled across AC - probably through Ground Zero - but I think I've been a member since like 2003.
Mare, I know I've told you this before, but I still have fond memories of reading Mizpah while I was supposed to be cleaning computers at my mom's school, which was my summer job in high school.
