Snowflake Challenge: Day Thirteen

[tangeriner]

Challenge #13

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, wild 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.

You know you've been in fandom for a long time when this question really stumps you because there are so. many. options. Fandom has been very, very good to me when it comes to making good memories. I think, because it's on my mind due to being delayed again, I'll talk about my very first Anime North and what I remember of it. Which isn't a lot, it turns out, because at the time both Placidia and I were working midnights, which meant we were both Really Sleepy. I'm a little foggy what year this was (somewhere between 2003 and 2007) but I have a very clear memory of watching my very first AMV Contest and being... awed. Sitting at the back of the crowd, almost delirious with exhaustion at 7 pm, both of us mesmerized. We haven't missed an Anime North since (ignoring, like, ~Current Events~) and we always make time for the AMV Contest. I can't wait to watch another one.
