Snowflake Challenge - Day 2

Day 2

In your own space, share a favorite memory about fandom: the first time you got into fandom, the last time a fanwork touched your heart, crazy times with fellow fans (whether on-line or off-line), a lovely comment you’ve received or have left for someone. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

If I'm being honest, the best thing to come from fandom for me was meeting my wife, through an old GJ role-playing game. That takes the cake, obviously. :)

Other than that, I'd have to say my favourite memory was playing an OC game that inspired me to try my first ever female character (I'm male). It was really intimidating, but I'm glad that I tried it for so many reasons. It lead to me joining another game (with another female OC) where I met my aforementioned wife, it also lead me to play many other similar characters over the year, and to write a lot of fanfiction with female characters too.
