Fandom Snowflake Challenge 2015 Day 5: Fannish Origin Story

[dreamwriters]

Day 5

In your own space, talk about your fannish origin story. How did you come to fandom, why did you choose your fannish name, do you have more than one secret identity? Leave a comment in this post saying you did it. Include a link to your post if you feel comfortable doing so.

I honestly, don't really remember what my origin story is to be honest. When I was younger I didn't really keep track of my fandom involvement.

I think my first "true" fandoms where I was reading, writing and cosplaying things were Harry Potter and Redwall, though.

I have a lot of fannish identities spread around.

DreamWriter Emmy (my usually identity online nowadays) was spawned from the events of World Refugees a self-insert KH RPG that forked off that old Zombie Apocalypse meme since it was the name my self-insert character took on to align herself with the people she cared about who saw the world differently.

this account's current name Brides_Koneko (which i'm hoping to change eventually) is a mix of one of my oldest LJ username ladybrighid3333 (Bride is a nickname for Brighid) and my cosplay name Koneko which I used to use exclusively during anime conventions after one of my friends who is an anime fan gave all her friends japanese animal petnames.
