early online fandoms

Harry Potter was my very first online fandom, in high school, way back when Goblet of Fire had just been released. How's that for mind-blowing?

Harry Potter


Prongs Rides Again (R, 47K words)
Popular wisdom has crowned Harry Potter the scion of his murdered family. And yet another did not lose his life that fateful Halloween Lord Voldemort attacked Godric's Hollow. For thirteen long years, James Potter tries to reunite himself with the world he lost in a flash of green light. Yet when he finally succeeds, he finds himself confronted with new complications he never could have anticipated. Which will prove the greater task: defeating a newly-risen Dark Lord — or convincing his son that he is no longer an orphan?

You don't actually want to know how many times I saw each Lord of the Rings movie in theaters, not to mention each DVD release (theatrical and extended editions both). I recently discovered that, even after an absence of a few years, I can still quote the entirety of any given film while watching.

I had never read a single comic that wasn't published by Vertigo before I saw X2 in theaters. I definitely made up for lost time in the eighteen months that followed.
