Challenge #10

In your own space, talk about one of your fandom firsts. This could be your first fandom, your first fandom friend, the first fanwork you created, the first fanwork you interacted with... The options are endless!


I don't remember what my first fanfic was (I know it was a Cure slash fic, but who knows in which old computer or external hard drive it is), so I'm going to write about the first (and only) time I drew fanart for a fanzine.

In 2020 I was contacted by someone on Tumblr who was putting together a Good Omens fanzine. I was shocked: I'm not a super talented artist and had never been invited to draw for a zine before. I was also worried I wouldn't be able to draw something good enough for a zine, but the theme was memes, and if there's one thing I'm good at, it's coming up with silly ideas, so I accepted. I think I still had my old laptop and tablet at the time, so it wasn't easy, but in the end I submitted not one, but two pieces!

It was stressful but also fun, and I was very proud of myself for being part of this project.

The zine was called Good Omemes and you can see my two pieces here.
