Snowflake Day 2

Challenge #2
In your own space, talk about your fannish history


My fannish life started with him:

Lord of the Rings/Samwise Gamgee = Sean Astin (but as much as I love him and the movies, I did write only a handful of fanfiction about them.

I did met Sean in 2006 at Ring Con in Germany and even dared to go into the photo session. No, not showing the photo, I do hate and love it at the same time **lol**)

:::

My first fanfiction I did write about 12 years ago for:

Jeremiah (TV), with Sean Astin as Mr. Smith (I am still writing this fandom nowadays because Mr. Smith is such a complex mysterious character)

:::

Then I discovered my 'forever in love with' fandom:

The Faculty (even after about 10 years it is my fandom number one)

:::

My favorite pairing (The Faculty):
and
Casey Connor and Zeke Tyler (my boys forever - I love to give them the happy end they deserve, though sometimes... sniff)

:::

Because I try to open my horizon I also write in various other fandoms now and then. Like:
- -
The Walking Dead, Supernatural, Lucifer (Tom Ellis is another actor I met at Magic Con (former Ring Con) last year. He's such a funny guy)

:::

Now I am looking forward to the new year. I am curious about what it will bring me fandom wise. Hopefully more interesting fandoms and another visit at Magic con in April (Richard Armitage, keep your fingers crossed that he won't cancel, will you?)

How interesting to read about your fandom journey, don't think I knew/remembered it all started with Sean. I already had The Faculty DVD following Elijah Wood before reading any Casey/Zeke fic.

Oh yes, without Sean I would have never made the step to LJ. It was only because the german Sean Astin forum closed its door and moved to LJ, so I had not much of a choice.

I did read Faculty Fanfiction first and fall in love with the boys; sometime later I did watch the movie.

I love the pictorial references! My daughter met Sean Astin at her school and said he's an amazing human being.

Sean is indeed a nice guy.

Love some of these fandoms, too! Thanks for sharing.

Here's hoping Mr. Armitage will show up at Magic Con.

Well, there are some difficulties with Richard Armitage; obviously his manager did sign the contract with the con but forget RA is playing theatre at the same time. But there is still hope that he will at least show up for one day.

I love the visuals - and I'm a huge fan of Lucifer, would love to meet Tom Ellis

[prisca]

Tom is a really nice and funny guy, and his voice when he sings while playing the guitar is breathtaking. Rachel Harris, Kevin Alejandro, DB Woods, and Lesley-Ann Brandt were also starguests at Magic Con. It was such a great time with all of them.

Now I'm super jealous, that sounds amazing
