Snowflake Challenge - Day 11

Share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life.

Supernatural introduced me to fandom. Before it, there were many shows that I enjoyed and would watch over and over, but nothing made me seek out more; whether that was spoilers, photos, interviews etc. It was while looking for something more that I stumbled across fanfiction, and then the idea of a fandom community in general.

Over the years my experience of SPN fandom has changed. I've gone from being an anonymous lurker and commenter, to opening accounts and posting stories, to taking part in challenges, and meeting and interacting with a whole group of people who I consider friends. This is a huge thing for me, something that I hope has changed me in a positive way, and certainly something that has enriched my life. So yes, Supernatural has left a mark, and a very big and important one too.

This is so lovely! I love hearing about what a positive thing fandom community can be. ♥ Glad you found your way here! And good to know I'm not the only one who is guilty of past lurking... ;)

Oh yes, I was a lurker for a long time! And then I started to comment on things anonymously, and then I got an account, and then before I knew it I was writing and posting fics, and then taking part in challenges and comms. It's natural fandom progression, I guess ;)

I'm very happy you made it here as well! ♥
