forestgreenDay 2: In your own space, share a book/song/movie/tv show/fanwork/etc that changed your life. Something that impacted on your consciousness in a way that left its mark on your soul.
In the Harry Potter fandom, The Tea Series by Telanu
I actually wanted to provide a link to the series, and was very saddened to find my links no longer work because the author had her works removed from all archives. It's been a while since I read the Tea Series but it was the story that got me into Harry Potter. More importantly, it was the story that created in me the need to write. I'd read fanfiction before and I'd read slash, too, but something in Telanu's work made me stop, take notice, and think: Reading is no longer enough. I want to write, too.
Thus, Harry Potter became the first fandom I actually wrote for, and here I am, almost twenty years later, still writing. So yeah, I'd say that one changed me.
