Neat! This was pre-LJ for me - I was mainly on the SMRFF (Sailor Moon Romance Fan Fiction, I believe) mailing list.
*consders the question again* I did watch some TV (Highlander, Pretender, Babylon-5) and read some books pretty avidly (Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan Adventures) before seriously getting into Sailormoon, but since I rarely had people to discuss these with, I don't consider myself that fannish about them. Actually, in terms of being performative about a bit of media, Joseph and the Technicolor Dreamcoat was probably my very very first, since my friends and I used to perform versions of the musical in my basement in Grade 5. Sailormoon was the first one that I wrote fiction for and was involved with in some organized way, though.

What was your first fandom, if I can ask?
