eee, fandom in't what it were in the old days, is it? XD Not that parts of it can't still be totally terrifying anyway.

I made friends on Teaspoon when I started using it by blithely going around Britpicking people and pointing out their typos, and I'd probably be blacklisted instead if I tried it now. I'm not sure how everyone put up with it then, either! But I'd not had any fandom experience in between the uni days with the newsgroups and when I finally got internet at home and found Teaspoon, and then LJ, so I just picked up where I'd left off and didn't think about the culture having changed.

LJ was my favourite though! I am glad we still have its format here in Dreamwidth to hang out on, but LJ was my perfect fandom space back in the day. There was awful/scary stuff around, but it was, for me, so much more easily avoided than in any other forum we've had.

My OUaT days seem remarkably distant now, and that part of my brain seems to have largely shut itself down.

I just keep on rewatching it every so often, as I have the DVDs, and it's still such a good time! Mind, I do feel that I never really wrote what I wanted to write for it, either, so it stays niggling vaguely at the side of my fic brain.
