I started out with posting Stargate stories and one Stargate/Buffy crossover (mostly in German with some translated) and at least some attempted Star Trek stories. However, Harry Potter really pushed me out there - trying out slash (although I do remember reading a rather explicit Fox Mulder/Tom Paris (X-Files/Star Trek Voyager) early on before I tried my hand at writing) and just jumping at the deep end with how varied my writing got - from plots to pairings to tropes. So, it kind of feels like a first because while it might not have been the first, it did lead to a lot of fandom firsts.
Maybe it already started in the late 11th era. I do remember a lot of WTF moments when it came to the 12th Doctor and I hated how they dealt with Clara leaving.
Wow, I hadn't heard anything about John Barrowman sexually harassing people. Not sure if I'm just that far away from any Doctor Who related news or if he just isn't well known enough in Germany to make it into the news. Not that I'm typically that current on any kind of news. Then again, I'm not sure when I last heard anything related to John Barrowman. Probably while I tried watching the third season of Torchwood and just couldn't bring myself to care about the storyline at all.
Not sure if it's just me or not, but whenever people boycott a movie / TV show or whatever due to one actor / actress doing something bad I feel kind of weird. I get not wanting to support someone depending on what they did (how bad it is and whether it was accidental/intentional) and everyone can do whatever they want on that front - still, there are all the other people involved with a movie or TV show. Should they be punished as well? I can't quite believe that everyone would be aware of everything a coworker has done or has the power to do something. Maybe I'm too good at separating a fictional character from the actor/actress behind that role. Or too invested in those fictional characters...
