Oh, Yps! I never thought about it in terms of fannishness but yeah, I was obsessing enough about it that it probably counts as my first fandom, even before Star Trek.

Interesting post. I love to see on what paths other people found their way onto LJ.

But as you can see I was kind of trying to join online fandom before I was online,

I was lucky that I could use the universities computers when I didn't own one of my own, and use their printers to print out hundreds of pages of x-files and voyager fanfic. (They later limited that use... I sort of hope I at least wasn't the only one who overused those resources.)
