OK so I'm very late to this party... LOL story of my life sometimes
I wrote my first fanfic a little over 3 years ago. It's a Voltron fic that's based on some ideas that had been bouncing around in my head back when I first watched the series in '84. It had always existed more as an "in my head roleplay" than a fic until that point and I'd never really considered writing until then.
I had however been active in a Star Trek Voyager shipper/fanfic group on Yahoo! around 1996. I never wrote, partly because I didn't have stories to tell and partly because I never really had the urge to give writing a try. It was never a skill I was interested in or that I thought I had any talent in. (We had to write "books" in 6th grade for an English assignment and mine was a disaster - mostly I listed things that the main character ate at each meal if I remember correctly.)
Anyway I did a lot of reading and commenting with that group and helped create a group only closed archive etc.
Over time, the group quieted down as the show wound down and life pulled me in other directions. Then in late 2013/early 2014 I was watching tv with hubby and the show referenced Voltron. That brought back a bunch of memories and I went websurfing and found some Voltron sites/groups and ended up joining a group that was similar to the Voyager one I'd been a part of so many years before. This time though, the bug hit and I started writing. A random side conversation with another person convinced me to pick up a pencil and try art too. (Up until then I thought stick figures were my upper limit)
Thinking of Voltron reminded me of watching BotP when I was even younger (I mostly remembered the names and the vehicles and the birdsuits - a little of the faces/personalities, but I was probably 6 when I watched it back in the day) so I did more surfing and ended up here. I used time to draw/write as motivation to get my schoolwork done (I was doing full time college and had a full time job at the time - not to mention hubby, my now nearly 20 year old, and all our pets - cats, turtles, hermit crabs vying for my attention). I'd always pad the amount of time I needed for reading/assignments to give myself an opportunity for creativity to unwind with afterwards.
These days, I don't have school anymore, but I seem to have less free time (there are a variety of reasons). So when I do get time, I try to create in one or more of my fandoms. Someday I'll even finish some of what I'm working on again
