In your own space, share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life. Something that impacted on your consciousness in a way that left its mark on your soul. Leave a comment in this post saying you did it.
"The Pattern of Infinity" by Ana Dorfstad (Blake's 7) was the very first piece of fan fiction I ever read. Because it was well-written, I didn't equate bad writing with this genre; my standards remained high. Because I wrote to the author, I found fandom, and some of my longest and dearest friends. Some have gone, some are still here. But certainly my life would be very different if I hadn't picked up that spiral-bound typed draft that weekend, and started reading it.
