I did do LJ back in the day, but even there I didn't do much fan stuff. It was only after I took a sabbatical from that for my own health - as in, I could take a sabbatical, or I could end up dead, in prison, or in a straitjacket, those were the options - and I was finally out of the whirlwind and honestly in a doldrums of scant energy or purpose, that I rediscovered fanfic and fanart. Then in the middle of all *that*, the whole world took a fucking header into the arms of apocalypse, and I set my career aside to spend the next several years as a full-time nonviolence activist, (unsuccessfully) struggling to get people to rise up and demand nazis be removed from positions of power. Then when that was done, I moved into pro writing and arting for my original IPs. :-P )īy the time the Internet was in full swing, what little 'fannish' stuff I was still doing was within the RPG world, on listservs (not joking), mIRC (still not joking), and somewhere in there I got hardcore into professional freelance writing for industry and wound up with almost no time for fanfic or even gaming. (I'm sure if there *had* been, I *would've* posted, and been terribly embarrassed for the rest of my life because yeah that's how I roll. The world's blessedly been spared like 95% percent of my juvenilia because there just wasn't an Internet, or there was only barely an Internet, to post it on. That is to say, my proverbial 10,000 hours of badfic were all gotten out in notebooks, later Bank Street Writer files (not joking), then private Word docs. It's because I actually came at all o' this in kind of the opposite order to most people. I admit I've been blindsided a bit by fan culture encounters on Tumblr and Discord - personal encounters fan-to-fan in addition to specifically fannish discussions - out of sheer ignorance. But I am settled in India, as I work here and stay in my Grandma’s house. John: “ Oh I am 24 Yrs and I am from Spain. Ruby: “ well I am not a doctor, I am just enrolled to course” John: “ Oh I never chatted with any doctor before. “ I am doing undergraduate course as Doctor” John: “ How old are you and what do you do?” Here he goes.a decision that changed his life for ever. So why don’t I introduce myself as someone from a foreign country”. Oh No! John thought. “ If I tell that I am Indian, she may stop chatting. John asked her what kind of man she likes and she responded like she is fond of white skins. One day, while sending chat request to many girls, a cute looking girl responded. John liked Philippines and Philippians as lot. They respond well and they were to the point. He often browsed and realized that woman from Philippines were best in speaking english and they are hot and bold.

A random search opened up a window of a new platform: Meetme.Ĭurious, John started sending friend request to many people. Yahoo messenger and MIRC which was a hit in early 2000 was slowly phasing out.
