this might be it, or at least close. it was on a mspaforum around the time terezi was introduced, since people were talking about “the new troll” and posting pictures of her. im a bit thrown off by the casual usage of the term “fantroll”, but this may also be when it was first coined

UPDATE: after some serious snoopin around, google has forced me to prove im not a robot by submitting a captcha. despite that drawback, as far as i can tell, there were no instances of the word “fantroll” in reference to homestuck before that little dude up there. ill continue my search

UPDATE: there were no mentions of the term “fantroll” before 03/03/10 on tumblr or deviantart

That’s what someone thought the troll who would turn out to be Feferi would be. I don’t think he counts.

BUSTED

I’m guessing that the first fantroll would be Doctor Tess’s troll, since she was the one who started the craze on the MSPA forums. Problem is, I don’t know her name.

tess just started the “fantroll index” forum or whatever, i think? either way

theres some weird corruption on the earlier posts. i doubt she made that post in 1970 lmao

(also i can’t access that fourm. if you can, tell me?)

I don’t recall any fantrolls before hers.

… is this her?

YES HER

WE FOUND HER. THE FIRST TROLL. ALL HAIL ISHAZA

ALL HAIL FANTROLL GOD ISHAZA
