So today I have been ruining my life reading Yuletide fic and the OT3 tag on Pinboard, and that mixed up with other discussions and the nonfiction book I'm reading, and I started thinking about my ur-fandoms.

Not the fandoms I was in before I was in fandom, but the things I was fannish about before my memory starts. (And my first dateable memory, I was two-and-a-half, so---)

Wee!me, basically, was fannish about: Sesame Street, Snoopy the WWI Flying Ace, and the Grinch.

Which is basically: muppets and people in furry costumes, many of whom don't speak English; dashing fighter pilots; and last-minute conversions to the side of good.

That is to say, goddammit, Star Wars.

....also why aren't there more fighter pilot AUs in fandoms I read, I even wrote one, I did my due duty
and why hasn't anyone written a fic about Sesame Street: Coruscant where Big Bird gets a lightsaber
ok I was also fannish about Wall Street Week With Louis Rukeyser but I'm not sure how that fits into the pattern

All I have to say is, please keep a list of any really good OT3 stories you find. :)
