For the fanfic panel I'm on at the worldcon:

[ffutures]

What fanfic were you reading / writing in these decades (fandoms, favourite ships etc.) and links to stories if possible please?

1. 1960s
2. 70s
3. 80s
4. 80s
5. 90s
6. 90s
7. 2000s
8. Nowish

For example, I know Professionals and Blake's 7 were big in the UK in the 1970s-80s, but I wouldn't know where to look for examples of period writing.

In the 70s I tried writing a sequel to AC Clarke's The City and the Stars. It was very dire, and I only wrote a few pages worth. I pretty much stayed away from fanfic for the next 25 years, until I came across some Buffy fanfic, and decided to try my hand at it.

I think that a lot of people tried their hands but never got anything out to fanzines etc. in the days before the internet. It's been a big game changer.
