70s - I wrote Silver Brumby and Watership Down stories. Though I was completely unaware I was writing fanfic, as I had never heard of the term...
80s - writing and reading Dr Who and Blake's 7 fanfic, mostly in paper fanzines like Cygnus Alpha and Space Rat. I started writing Strontium Dog fanfic back then, and read/wrote a bit of Judge Dredd (mostly spoofs).
90s - started my own Strontium Dog/2000ad fanzine, Dogbreath. The early issues are now available online here. (http://thequaequamblog.blogspot.co.uk/2012/06/dogbreath-volume-01-archive.html) The 90s was also my first encounter with Dragonriders of Pern fanfic, and I dipped in and out of various telly fandoms as a reader.
2000s - got really into Dragonriders of Pern fanfic via Kadanzer Weyr (http://www.kadanzer.org/index.php) You'll find a bunch of my stories under the 'public stories' page, name Kear. I also continued Dogbreath until issue 14 and then handed over the running of the zine to the next generation! As a reader I dipped in and out of various TV show fanfic sites and read a fair bit of Wraeththu fanfic (based on the Storm Constantine novels). The best of those actually get made 'official' and published in dead tree format by Immanion Press (http://www.immanion-press.com/info/book.asp?id=396)
Nowish - not following anything in particular as a reader, just dipping in and out of stuff that friends point me at. Since the demise of Kadanzer Weyr I've not really been writing much. There are plans afoot to create a new Weyr story group, but all those involved keep getting attacked by real life and watching their time/thuses evaporate. :-(
