In the early 2000s, as a teenager, I used to read fanfics on FanFiction.Net, using a computer at the library and used to paint out my favorite fanfics so I can reread the fanfics at home. When I got my first laptop and a internet USB brandbroad,I used to wait for days, weeks, or months for a fan-subbed anime or a fan-translated manga chapter during the fansub and fan-translation era.
My first social media account was DeviantArt and my first social media username was DarknessPrincess2007. My first Youtube channel was EricaDreams. My first fanfiction.net account was Unknown 2007. Over the years, I've been enjoying reading fanfics and favoriting fanarts. I did made AMVs and chatroom style fanmade videos in my youtube early years. Sadly, my past fanworks are gone as I've deleted it all cuz I thought my fanworks sucks.I wish could have save all my fanwriting documents and AMV videos.
Nowadays, I am a "fan-observer", meaning all I do is favorite fanworks done by fans. I think it is more fun in that way. I do comment on fanworks when my brain is not too dumb lol. Commenting is a way for me to show my support for fanworks and NON-SPAMMING and HUMAN fans need to comment more on their fellow fans's fanworks. Yes, I went there with the non-spamming and human part. *Glares at the shitty AI bots and AI comments and spammers.* I did fanwrite a few ficlets and I do have ONE Hetalia multi-chapter fanfics on a hiatus sadly.
