Now onto the questions Leah gave me!

What was your first experience of fandom?

Hmm I have so many fandoms, but I’m going to say it was when I got into anime in junior high school. There were probably some instances before that, but I can’t remember them. My friend introduced me to Naruto and the rest is history. I had a group of friends who liked anime and was able to meet new people in my school and I even ended up going to my first anime convention the year after learning about anime. Because I was introduced to anime my interest in Japan broadened and that what ultimately led me to pursue learning Japanese.

Have you had any bad experiences with fandoms?

I think that in general, one of the cons of being a part of any fandom is the  constant accusations or negativity. I’m an avid K-pop fan and I hate reading comments on YouTube anymore because people has so much negative things to say about the singer/group or they’re attacking other fans. But I think this happens with a lot of fandoms.

Have you ever written fan fic based on a book you’ve read and loved?

No, but I have read a lot of them. I think I would like to write one in the future.

Pick a fandom – favorite and least favorite characters?

Vampire Academy!

Favorite characters: Rose, Dimitri, Christian, Adrian, Sydney, Ibrahim

Least favorite character: Lissa (I know she’s one of the main characters, but she’s so needy!)
