Polymorphous Perversity

Day 5: Compare and/or contrast your very first fandom obsession and your very latest fandom obsession.  
My entry to fandom - where I became aware of fandom as a thing and started writing as well as reading - was Twilight. It had its own very idiosyncratic fansite with mods who betaed your fics whether you wanted them to or not, and the dynamics of the site, maybe of the fandom, were a bit weird, in retrospect. Rather adolescent, which is probably to be expected, although there were a lot of "cougar" fans, and there were lots of WIPs, which was where I learned to avoid WIPs rather than getting burned by abandoned cliff-hangers. It was largely het at first, but a small contingent of slash writers developed, largely for Edward/Jasper, and I discovered slash writing there, and fell into it. It's no surprise that the initial fic that "Fifty Shades of Gray" was based on was in Twilight - one of those weekly-posting WIPs that I read at the time. It was only later when SGA fandom had educated me about "safe, sane and consensual" BDSM that I realised how messed up that fic had been, but the Twilight fandom as a whole was more juvenile and politically dodgy, apart from Minisinoo, the first really good writer I encountered who was mainly there for Jacob, as a Native American writer. 
My latest obsession isn't new, as after discovering LJ and wandering through Potterverse after Twilight, I got swallowed up by SGA and it's still my main fandom. I came into SGA just after canon ended, when the fandom had settled a bit, and the culture was different, with very few long, unfolding WIPs and a predominantly slash fandom, very McShep-dominated at first. SGA fandom has broadened and explored many other pairings across the years, and so have I, with side-trips off into Sherlock, The Losers, Captain America, etc etc. SGA, and especially McShep, is comfortable, and like its stars, it feels like a safe, grown-up fandom that's fundamentally friendly and not beset by controversy, shipping wars, or politics, or not these days. 

Day 6: What's a fandom that you wish had a bigger following?
I tried Captain America fandom at the height of its rise after Winter Soldier came out, but the hugeness of the fandom, and the many very young writers in the ginormous challenges was a bit difficult. So I'm not fond of juggernaut fandoms when they're in juggernaut phase and wouldn't wish that on a favourite fandom. I wish The Losers fandom was still active, as I miss it and loved those characters. And it'd be nice for SGA to be a bit bigger and more active, with more stories to be read, but there's a lot to be said for small post-canon fandoms that stubbornly persist like icebergs - not so much activity above the water, but loads of wonderful stuff below the surface, stored in the AO3 and on Wayback.
