Day 28 - First TV show obsession

While my first TV show love (and certainly longest lasting!) was Man from UNCLE, I have to admit my first TV show obsession was Stargate SG-1 - it is, after all, the show I have to blame for being in online fandom in the first place. It was a search for information about season 2 when season 1 was first airing in the UK that led me onto the internet, then down the rabbit hole of fanfic. Let's not talk about my first experience of slash, which it also gave me, since I'm lucky it didn't psychologically scar me for life. ;)

It was that show that has given me a wide range of experiences over the years, not to mention online friends who I've also had the pleasure of meeting and spending time with face to face on two continents. It taught me about the power of denial, as well as making me write thousands of words about characters I came to know better than I know members of my own family and certainly like a great deal more. And now, even if there are episodes of the show I'll never see that don't actually exist and I don't feel I have any further stories to tell about those characters, I can't deny the effect it's had on my life.

Woah, we had basically the same Stargate SG-1 experience (substitute "fanfic" for "slash"). It's been so long since I've ready anything SG-1 that wasn't for one of mrwubbles' zines, but I can't make myself get rid of any of the stuff I've accumulated from that fandom because of all the great memories I have from that time.

I'll just say "yes, exactly" to that!
