And the Way Back Machine dials early spring of 1996.  "Quid Pro Quo, Doctor Lambert" was the first fanfiction I wrote, and it remains my third most popular.  I'm afraid it shows all the embarrassing characteristics of a first fanfiction -- it's a bird! it's a plane! it's a Mary Sue? and "cool aunt" Janette? -- and I hope I would do better today, but the story will always be distinguished for me by having reached fkfic-l before "the final four" episodes aired.  Writing in FK as a live fandom was . . . unforgettable.
