Oh, God ... my first fic ... I still have it somewhere, I think. It was a Beatles fanfiction. There's more than one, actually. One of them was a self-insertion (naturally; I just had to meet the Fab Four), and one of them is where these girls were on their plane during like their '64 tour, and the plane crashed, and the girls got to meet them under the terrible circumstances. It crashed on a freezing cold snowy mountain somewhere... I think it was the Alps.
And the one after that was the sequel. They crashed again, this time in the ocean, and the plane was sinking. I was basing it off of the old version of The Poseidon Adventure, lol.
They were terrible. I cringe every time I think about them, or see them somewhere. Unfortunately I was so proud when I wrote them, lol. D:

I don't think I wrote a fanfiction for anything other than the Outsiders - at one point, I was dangerously close to writing a Backstreet Boys fanfiction and I thank God that they disappeared before I got a chance.
My first fanfiction was barfed up six years ago... basically, I was fascinated with Dally's character and followed him around the novel for thirty-two hilariously and unbelievably flawed chapters. I think my favourite part is where Two-Bit looks for Texas on a map of Oklahoma whist holding an armful of apples. It reads a little like a parody in places... but unfortunately I was quite serious, lol.
I self-inserted a little bit, but not into an OFC, into Dally actually. Or, Dallas inserted himself into me, something like that. Which was tons of fun until, you know, the end of the book.
The serious parts are overly melodramatic, the romantic parts...well, Dally moons about lilacs at one point. Gross, yes. Really, the one thing I'm proud of is the jokes, and probably no one in the world but me finds them funny.
Being that it was not so terribly long ago, I'm actually proud of certain parts...for now at least lol. I enjoy reading it, usually just to point at myself and laugh. I was a very silly person. (Was.) I started out as a lurker on ffnet, so I ended up posting it up as soon as I wrote it. *cringes* It started as a one-shot and then...well, even then I rambled, heh.
I'll probably always be fond of it, in the way that you love a disgusting and old but beloved stuffed toy from your childhood.

I only heard of fanfiction a couple of years ago, when reading an interview with S E Hinton in which she mentioned it.
My first fanfic was on Tim Shepard, I got 2 reviews for the first 2 chapters (I was amazed that anyone read it at all!) and one of them said - wow someone wrote a Tim Shepard story and it isn't slash!-
It was an enlightening moment when I found out was slash was, it never would have occured to me to hook Tim up with Dally lol.

Believe it or not, my first fanfiction was The Outsiders, but I didn't know what it was at the time either. I think I started it on paper - got a page or two into the first chapter and I never picked it back up. Thought I was crazy for even thinking about it. I was in the seventh grade at the time, since it was right after I had read the book for the second time.
A few months later I was on a very popular HP website and saw a link to ffn, which made me curious. I checked out the site, thought it was just about the coolest thing ever, and started to write HP fanfic (holy cow, what a disaster THAT was!). After a few months I got heavily into Backstreet Boy fanfiction, so I know where Zevie is coming from on that. A couple of years later ffn banned Real Persons fanfiction, and there wasn't much of a audience for it elsewhere so I eventually stopped.
All during that time I had friends who wrote in both of those two fandoms, as well as The Outsiders and I occassionally looked out The Outsiders stories, but there were so few, and the majority were sooooo bad that I didn't give it much time of day. Needless to say, my first Outsiders fic fit right in with those atrocious Mary-Sue's. Thought we were SO original. Nope. Not at all, lol.

I think my favourite part is where Two-Bit looks for Texas on a map of Oklahoma whist holding an armful of apples.
I remember that! I thought it was the funniest "Two-Bit can't find Texas" moment of all time.
My first fan fic...You know, I do believe it was a very odd Lord of the Rings one. I was in grade six, so that would explain it. I stuck with it until grade 8 when I was introduced to Louis L'amour and started up writing fan fics about the Sacketts and Tensleep - of course.
Now, it wasn't until 2003 that I found out fan fiction existed. I thought I was in major trouble for playing with other people's characters, but they were both dead, so not that guilty... Anyways, October 2003 I joined ff.net and in December I wrote and posted my first story - Finn. Man, I was so into it. I probably had a chapter up a week. Then came DV and one shots and PT and....well, let's just say I'll probably be married before I finish them all. Lately I find myself back at the good old original fiction, though.
And I think I'm about to babble so...
See ya in the funny papers!!!

Man... My first fanfic was a Mighty Ducks one (not the cartoon, the movie trilogy), lol. It was very weird and you can bet it made very little sense. I was about ten at the time, so it was all hand written, and about twenty pages long.

OMG! This just reminded me about a paper I had to write in sixth grade and I guess technically it could have been called a fan fic. I did the dastardly deed of making myself a Curtis sister. I remember the teacher just didn't get it!  |

My very first fan fiction was actually "Outsiders" themed. I must have started right after seeing the movie in school, because I inserted myself and all of my friends in it... Dally and Johnny both survived their respective gun-shot wounds/injuries and it started with Dally waking up in the hospital room to see me there. Myself and my friends were all paired up with our respective greaser crushes and it was totally corny. It basically ended up as an ongoing soap opera with very little plot or character development. To give some examples: there was a double wedding, a really awkward and terribly written sex scene, domestic abuse (Two-bit got too drunk and beat up his girlfriend), and, at one point, my friend pushed Sandy down a flight of stairs because she came back into Soda's life and tried to get him to help raise the child that wasn't his in the first place (Whew! What a run-on!). It was really bad, but I still look at it every time I need a good laugh. I've been wanting to scan and post some of it on my LiveJournal, but I can never find the time. More recently than that, in highschool, a friend and I co-wrote a story about *NSync being turned into vampires. There were girls (vampires too, of course) loosely based on us, but it wasn't as blatantly "self-insertion" as my very first fan fic. I think I've come a long way since then... |

Oh, and Emiline, I would LOVE to read that fic sometime. I was laughing just reading your summary on it. Pushing Sandy down the stairs...man, priceless.
And yeah! That's all!

You know, I'm surprised that I still have some of my old stuff. I'm a total "if you don't use it, get rid of it" person, but I guess (even then) I saw the future value of a story like that. Either that, or my Mom found it and made sure it didn't go anywhere. She always had a good eye for the priceless stuff...
I'll have to rummage through my box-o-papers one of these days and get some of my original "Outsiders" fic on the web. Maybe I should actually post it on ff.net and see what happens. I wonder if some of the younger girls might actually like it!? Unfortunately, I don't think I have a complete hard copy (since the thing is a monster... It's seriously 100 pages single spaced and font size 9 or 10, lol), but I'll see what I can dig up.
Keep an eye on my LiveJournal... Maybe I'll actually post!

I'm afraid to admit that my first fanfiction was about the boy band The Backstreet Boys. Hah. I was in love with all of them so much and I think about 8 when I wrote it. It was horrible and I don't have it anymore, but I still remember it.

Really, I'm a newbie at fanfiction...and I think my first fanfiction was...really, I don't remember. I have to go check it out. I didn't start writing fanfiction until, what, 2-3 weeks ago? Sounds right. Started in mid-June.

Ha, my first fanfic was like 4 or 5 years ago, when I was a munchkin.
It was before I'd read the 3rd HP book, so while I was waiting for it I started to write in this adorable little Harry Potter Notebook I got for Christmas. Draco Malfoy was on the train to Hogwarts with his 1st year twin sisters Riley and... come to think of it, I can't remember the other sister's name.
Even so, it was only a few pages long and I tore it out and threw it away like last year or so because I've always been paranoid that my brother would find my writing and I'd be embarrassed beyond belief.
