Delurking for a moment just to squeal . . .
A decade ago, while immersed in my Junior year of undergrad, a friend talked me into starting a mailing list dedicated to the virtually unknown, and certainly unloved* Tomorrow People fandom. I did with great trepidation, since the show meant so much to me, but I couldn't imagine a) anyone else sharing the sentiment or b) anyone actually having anything to talk or write about. Boy, was I wrong.
I could stand being wrong like this a lot more.
*hugs everyone who had any hand in making this possible*
To Mark S., wherever you are, thank you for not only suggesting the obvious (if you want a mailing list that badly, why not start your own?), but for donating the server space on which we cut our teeth.
And thanks to
drednort,
tptigger,
estirose, and
kerravonsen who were there at the very beginning, and who are still here. It's good to know that I'm not the only one crazy enough to stick around for a decade.
10 Years!

I did search around on the net for TP information in 1995, but found virtually nothing and that would have probably been just before the list started. In 1996, I joined a Highlander mailing list and encountered Highlander/TP crossover fanfics and that lead me to TPFICT and thence to TPDIS.
Between March and June 1996, maybe?

Anyway, congratulations to the whole list for keeping things going this long. And Wendy, thank you so much for starting it all.

10 years of TPFICT. I wasn't there from the beginning (sad), but I know I'll be there 'til the end (which there won't be one, 'cause the fandom will just go on and on into eternity).
Also: you've been the best listmom EVAH.
I have so much love for TPFICT. For you. For my fandom.
*LOVE*
