fandom... oh right, that exists
i started uploading old fic to Ao3 a few days ago. it's pretty interesting going through my old stories. somewhat weird too -- like, ohhhhh, right, yeah, i wrote a story about mary russell being trans BEFORE I REALISED I WAS TRANS. brains are stupid, by the way.
also, remembering a time when only i and one other person IN THE WHOLE WORLD had written and posted holmes/moriarty fic. holmes fandom was very... um. yes. traditional. also, mostly non-existent, as far as fic was concerned. i believe there was a time when i'd read every single holmes fic on the web. back in the day, when it qualified for yuletide every year! and when i signed up for remix/redux, and i was one of two people who had ANY sherlock holmes stories available for remixing!
meanwhile, sherlock is now the fandom that ate all other fandoms. and yet my interest in sherlock/john is nearly as nonexistent as holmes fic was in 2004. every once in a while i'm like, "c'mon, self, let's go check it out!" and then i click on something and there's an alpha/omega cock-knotting slave AU where everyone is a cat and i'm like, "oh hey, maybe it's time to clean the bathroom".
