Cool. Oh definitely EQ was in the paper zine days of fandom for me too. Really I started getting online around 96 barely and really online by 98 and that's about when EQ started dying off as a new different form of fandom took over.
But I was SUPER active in the 80s and early 90s. I used to pen pal with SO many fans back then and was in dozens of holts with stories everywhere. Right now btw here and LJ I have a half dozen friends I met back in those days that I'm still friends with and another half dozen I still talk to on twitter/facebook/email.
ELD I mentioned in the dream (evil_little_Dog) is one of them and I HAVE lived with her in the past when I had to go back to school after losing my surgical career and another fandom friend let me stay with him my first teaching assignment which paid so little. Fandom has been good to me in that way.
