Snowflake Challenge #13

A cherished fandom memory is writing my very first fic, only it was a collab between about five of us pajama partyers to spread the joy. Star Trek: TOS was the victim subject of fervent scribblings on yellow legal pads. Friend transcribed the plot and setting input because we already knew the characterizations of Kirk, Spock and McCoy from watching the show; naturally we added OCs bearing a noted resemblance to ourselves. Happily, I recall basic genres and familiar elements such as hurt/comfort with *I think?* Kirk tending Spock's injuries after the shuttlecraft crashed; they took shelter in a cave. The pages are lost to time; the fannish energy lives still, particularly on WhmzCoat, where convention attendees glam up in delightful costumes that Friend designs and sews. Just a few weeks back, we chatted over Life and Fandom, so you can see why the memory glows.

That is such a good memory, no wonder you cherish it.

I had to laugh at Kirk tending Spock's injuries, the shuttlecraft crash and the cave. Obviously, you were all meant for h/c fandom!

Truer words never were spoken! :D H/C is my first and forever fanfic love; whenever discovering a new fandom archive, it's the first category I head for. And our crash and cave plot points, could anything be more over-used classic for any Star Trek sub-category?

That's a great memory, there is something very special about these first steps into fandom. ♥

Yup, it's this world, but it feels like stepping into another dimension.
