User blog comment:Gundam Legilis/Thoughts on the RWBY Fandom/@comment-25151516-20140425182954

As a member of the RWBY Fanon, which for me started in August, I've found the most fun I've ever had on the internet there. Before I found the Fanon, I was already fairly creative in my mind, imagining OCs for my favorite shows and their story arcs. But none were ever published.

Then, a year and a half ago, I started watching anime. 'Soul Eater", specifically, was the first one that I watched all the way through, and loved it.

After a year of seeing awesomness, I found RWBY. My love of "Monty Oum's Dead Fantasy" and "Soul Eater" collided at the moment I found a certain RoosterTeeth video recommended to me on YouTube. Upon being hit with the anime style, awesome fight sequences, combat academy in a magitech world setting, and an interesting beginning lore, I was hooked. There was no question.

Immediately, I followed the show.

Then after finding a certain link on the Main Page of the Wiki, I found the Fanon. Having a taste of the fan creations, particularly the OCs, I thought I found a home for my original content about my new hype.

It was REALLY shaky, developing my first OC. There were rules that I did not read (let alone understand) so making my first OC with such an odd light in the world kept getting him "Rejected" over and over as I submitted him. (You can look at the first comments and agree that it was OP and convoluted in the reasons of why I was making him that way. I even suggested the idea on the RoosterTeeth site in the comments of one of the episodes.)

After some confusion with the reorganization of the Fanon, involving a new Fanon site and moving OCs there, then a few more tries, he was Accepted, meaning he could be Role Played with. Since then, I've RPed, written OCs, and made friends with the people there and here.

All in all, the RWBY fandom is something that I hope I will be able to contribute to for a good long while. I'll be sad to have to leave when I serve a mission when I get out of high school. But I hope RWBY and the Fandom lasts for a long time.
