Does anyone have any silly/funny/drama-tastic stories about their personal experience in late 90′s/early 2000′s fandom? Please reblog and tell because I am a sucker for those

when I was an early teen and brand new to the internet I put a drawing on my deviantart of some OCs and like, one of the reasonably big furry artists at the time decided the way I drew a specific animal was too similar to the way they drew them so their fans all flooded in and told me I was an art thief and shit. It freaked me out massively bc I was a tiny inexperienced baby so I deleted the picture and got too scared to upload any more for a while

what makes this story funny to me is that the artist is not only still around, but a while ago they drew hate art of me as a “brony hating sjw” so like. I’d love to be able to tell my younger self that hey, don’t  be intimidated by this person, in years to come they’ll draw you unintentionally hilarious gift art
