Great question! ... Moving on... Seriously though I have no idea....

OH wait, maybe I do? Basically, I got into fan fic very late, and even now don't read much of it, and what I do tends to just be... smut. I might read more of other types if I got back into reading more in general, but I have been struggling with that. Anyway, I can't at all what I might have read first on AO3 Anyway that said, what I just remembered was way back in my early 20s when I found a script-style Mystery Science Theater 3000 riffing on the famously bad "The Eye of Argon" short story. It wasn't just generically riffing on Eye, it was with the standard MST3K characters and all. So I suppose that counts as fan fic of MST3K. Even though I only seen a few parts of a couple episodes of MST3K.

It was probably 10+ years after that when I first read any fan fic on AO3 (and nothing on any site in between). I suppose I might have seen like individual posts that might have counted as micro-fics for some stuff.

Oh, and here is that MSTing of Eye if anyone is interested:

I do feel bad for Jim Theis though, he was 16 when he wrote it (and it was 1970, fantasy was full of purple prose in general back then). He died in 2002, only 48 years old.

Some other info about Eye and Jim

i think "many queer people are purposefully deprived of regular IRL social interaction with other people, both queer and not, by our society" and "lots of queer discourse on the internet would be rendered irrelevant if the people engaging in it were regularly interacting with other queer people in real life rather than online" are two statements that can and shouls coexist

I am kissing you on both cheeks. Fat doesn't always mean "kind, cuddly and unarmed".

YES!!!! Exactly.

fat is literally just a body type, as much as skinny or mid sized or absolutely everything else. People treating Martin and other plus-sized characters with kid gloves on, or acting like they’re just sweeties and only sweeties, feels so…. infantilizing?

Especially given that Martin “kill bill” Blackwood is one of the bitchiest punks in the series lol. He successfully manipulated multiple avatars and outsmarted Elias. He’s snappy and pragmatic and he plays nice exceptionally well, but I don’t think I would ever use that word to describe the man who was completely chill with damning every other universe in existence just to stay with his boyfriend. He’s selfish and cool and sexy about it. And he’s also fat. THE character of all time.

not to mention my all time biggest crush but that’s neither here nor there.
