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
Not my first actual fandom, but my first online interaction with other fans was on an Inuyasha oekaki board in the mid-2000s, where I showed up to a ship-focused board to draw endless Sango-and-Kirara gen for a few months. People were very nice about it—Sango was half of the focal ship and other people drew some gen along with their shippy stuff, it wasn’t entirely off topic!—but present-day me wonders if there might have been a more RTMI board elsewhere that I just didn’t know existed back then.
Challenge #6: Share your favourite piece of original canon.
I'm just going to go with favourite piece of a given original canon - I don't think I have a consistent overall favourite?
The insert song "Ai no Senshi" was used twice in Sailor Moon (that I've seen so far - I'm not quite halfway through actually properly watching S, watching on and off with years in between seasons, and may well have a different fave part by the eventual end), differently but effectively both times. This is more of a technical/how-it-was-done fave than anything else.
( Descripton of both )
I think the first instance would be impressive to me no matter what—I’m used to insert songs just kind of being there in the background as album adverts—but I appreciate the second version for the contrast it provides. Both are good.
