D/Hr fanfic recs?
I'm thinking of doing a fic rec post. Several people have asked for D/Hr recs today, and like I said, one thing I know above all else is D/Hr fanfic. BELIEVE ME. I've been in the fanfic community for around 12 or 13 years now (I'm proud of my ff.net ID number; 4401. Just for reference, I found someone who joined on 07Jul09, and their ID number is 1998019). I've been following HP fanfic the books first came out. I've been a part of the D/Hr fandom since the beginning.
So, do you guys think I should do it? (my first poll ever... how exciting!)
[Poll #1430849]
Thing is, when I love a fandom, I LOVE it.
Anyway, I might put something together of my favorite stories. I made a rec list back in 2005 (when I apparently should have been studying for an Organic Chemistry test I had the next day. Obviously college!me had my priorities straight), but I want to expand on it, and fix the broken links since the main website for D/Hr fanfic is down. SUCKS BALLS.
*sigh* I miss the HP fandom. I'm obviously not in it as much as I used to be (I LIVED in it for many many many years... it wasn't until summer 2006 that I actually ventured fully into a new fandom (PotC, btw). And now I'm in the drama fandom.
WOAH. I was going through some archives of mine, and randomly found the exact entry I was thinking about today. I was convinced I'd never find it! YAY! (It's randomly a rant on how much I hate the eHarmony commercials)

However I was reading way before I created an account.
HP...might still be considered my main fandom. The HOURS I spent reading...just wow.
2nd would be Sailor Moon (yes really)
3rd would be Naruto

I was reading for awhile before I got my account too. I'm pretty sure I was around when ff.net was established (october '98... thanks wiki!).
I consider it my main fandom, despite not having been hugely active in it for a few years. Ah, I miss staying up all night during the summers to read HP fanfic. Those were the days...
Oh I was way into the Sailor Moon fandom back in the day! No judgement there ;D
I'd say HP is my main fandom, then drama stuff, then probably Pirates of the Caribbean. I've had so many fandoms over the years it's hard to keep track!

And that ff.net number is ridiculous.

I first got internet in 1996 or 1997. It wasn't long after that I got into the Star Wars fandom. Since this was pre fanfic.net, I used to go on message boards to get my fic fix. And then ff.net was established, and I never looked back.
My low one, or the really high one? I personally think both are pretty ridiculous!

Yeah, you totally had a head start on me. I didn't get it until 2000. I think the first fandom I got into was the Tenchi Muyo! (anime) fandom which at the time was so freaking tiny and mostly filled with badfic.
I meant your number. I haven't checked my ff.net account in ages but I know that it has more numbers than that. A shitload more.

The first fandom I got into on ff.net was Animorphs, and it too was probably filled with badfic, but I still read them all. I never wrote fic (well, not really) but I was known in the fandom back then as a reviewer.
I know, isn't it crazy?! It makes me feel weirdly old, pretty awesome, and kinda lame (because apparently I do not have a life). I still remember when they used to do newsletter columns on the site. I also remember when you could rate stories. Made them a lot easier to sift through.

Oh! I've never told you about the time when I was 13 and I wrote Inuyasha (anime) fanfiction for about a year. I had this ten chapter AU fic that I never ended up completing because I realized how utterly purple my writing was. However, I did end up getting around 300 reviews for it before I took it down. I still laugh my ass off about that.
I think it's pretty cool that you've been around fandom for a while. Most people I've talked to have only been in fandom for like 8-7 years at most.

Your number is AMAZING.
I'm all for recs in everything (I love recs, I hardly ever read stories unless I've seen them recced or memmed or faved) but maybe do the D/Hr ones first? Guide me to the good fics~

I've been in fandom a long time... sometimes it surprises me how long.
Yay! I'll work on the rec list this weekend. And yeah, I'll start with D/Hr. Mostly because I already have a partial list. I'm lazy...
