The fandom meme

From janni, for her respectful "courtesy tag" (i.e. open invite to participate) as I am not a fan of direct tagging in memes, and for her continued participation on my "friends" list. So, true to Janni's spirit, I invite anyone who hasn't seen this to try but will not tag specifically.

The meme goes something like this:

1. List out all your fandoms.
2. Beside/underneath each fandom, briefly detail your first encounter with said fandom. If it's a television show, try to recall your first episode and what about it dragged you in.
3. Tag the same number of people as former/current fandoms. =D (If you have five fandoms, tag five people. If you have twenty fandoms, tag twenty people. Etc.)

I (Shannon) must point out the wording is that this is first encounter with the "fandoms," not with the show, though point #2 stresses if it is a TV show talk about what first episode dragged you in. To me, a "fandom" is the collective of (relatively) equally interested people in the same show. Otherwise it seems it should read "List out all the shows of which you are a fan." etc. Therfore, I'll address both. Also note that current and former fandoms are eligible per point 3.

Now that we are past semantics, let's tackle this in alphabetical order.

( So what are my fandoms? )
