Remember when

• Smuts were known as lemons
• Yaoi Warnings ( Don’t Like, Don’t Read! )
• Character x Character instead of Character/Character
• Every Time We Touch videos, and the forgotten  Listen To Your Heart videos
• Numa Numa
• Naruto Phase

• Bring Me To Life amv’s
• citrus and lime warnings
• when fanfiction.net still allowed porn
• when fanfiction.net still allowed original writing before the great fictionpress split
• deadjournal
• when livejournal was invite-only
• cardcaptors a mystic adventure
• aim roleplay

• when everyone had their own little fansites on geocities, angelfire, and tripod
• character-bashing fic and anti-shrines
• fanfic MSTing
• save our sailors
• the word “bishies”
• AOL message boards
• tinny background MIDIs on every page
• “this page coded with notepad” and netscape buttons
• “this page best viewed at 800x600”
• “under construction” pages

• yahoo mailing lists
• fansubs only available on the subber’s IRC channel
• fansubs only available if you send $30 for a VHS tape
• no official release whatsoever for Japanese media
• fanworks, especially fic, of Western media, especially print media, considered illegal and met with C&Ds
• the gap between Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix
• The Sentinel/Highlander/X-Files crossovers
• “this is part of the [fandom/ship/etc] webring”
• printing fics out because it feels more permanent

Having to wait until late at night to get your fandom on because that’s the only time your parents wouldn’t give you grief for tying up the phone line.
