What was your primary fandom pre-homestuck?

[spankety]

Mine was Earthbound during the year and a half or so between Problem Sleuth ending and when I heard on starmen.net that "the problem sleuth guy was making an earthbound fancomic".

Did you hear about it through that fandom, or out of the blue some other way?

It was MLP:FiM. Not my most fondly remembered fandom. I stopped watching after Sombra.

[classpectanon]

it was "person who browses tvtropes and suptg too much" fandom. i read a lot of quests.

[Darth_Energon]

God, that was ages ago. When I was younger I absolutely loved Mega Man fan content, so I'll say that.

[magicpants]

god. before homestuck i was deep into tf2. like, 5 or so years ago. it was cool while it lasted.

[RoyalFiddle]

Hahaha I'm not telling you that! My past will remain dark and mysterious, because if you knew the truth it would be known that I'm not actually that cool

Hoo boy, before Homestuck I was one of them bronies. I was active on a few MLP reddit communities from 2014-16, then I gradually lost interest in the show, was introduced to Homestuck(and later, MSPFA) and began making fancomics. I think I'll be in the Homestuck club for a long time to come still, probably because of MSPFA.

I was super into Steven Universe and it was like my first Online Fandom Experience. I don't really watch TV at all anymore, but i still really love it and it still influences my tastes and the stuff I make a lot.

I was almost a year into the TF2 fandom before I got into Homestuck. Those were some fun times.

Boos. They're are fucking adorable and I want to hug one. I also do like Shy guys and some Paper Mario enemies.

I honestly don't think I had a 'primary fandom'. I watched a ton of anime, but couldn't narrow it down to anything specific.
I had to be forced to check out Act I, basically kicking and screaming. By Act II, I was hooked.

[calamityCons]

If I recall correctly I was in either SHADOW THE FUCKHOG or TRANSFORMERS ANIMATED: CAR THAT IS A GUY. Both of them have similar ideas of space bullshit and epic adventures with interesting characters who had intricate backstories and relationships that kept me hooked. I was also browsing a lot of TVTropes at the time, so I might have been in the POKEMON FANDOM with some buddies creating an expansive encyclopedia of Pokémon and the world and biology of the monsters. I've always been that kind of supernerd analytical fan who likes to solidify what is stated and extrapolate into transformative work.

I also distinctly remember that the image for the All Girls Like Ponies trope used to be this one of Rose Lalonde,

and that's how I discovered Homestuck in the first place.

[TH4NK YOU B3N]

I used to be into Pokemon and now I'm not. My username on the old forums was a Pokemon name.

[Generalrabogolfo]

I really cant remember it. The worst part is that I've been in this fandom not even a year.

[Robot_Face]

Magic: the Gathering. And I'd say I'm still in it, although recent storyline decisions they've made have made me consider leaving it.

[lostAubergine]

prehomestuck i was not really active in too many fandoms (engrossed) but mostly was interested in doctor who, buffy and pokemon.

[Auntie]

I was really into Yugioh and a handful of bands. I'm still into those things but the Yugioh's not the all consuming thing it used to be for me. Still have trouble watching tv because I'd usually rather be listening to music though so ey there's that, I suppose.
