#1dfanstories

…i was at school and asked my friend to show me some of her favorite songs, she played taken and i really loved it so she showed me more songs from uan (same mistakes, more than this and moments) she started to tell me about the boys, so after school i went to her house and she showed me the video where the boys cried bc they didnt make it to bootcamp. then we watched the video daries and the live performances and then week 4 niall started the song total eclipse of the heart with turn around and that was it for me. i was gone for that lil irish lad and yeah. at that time i was just listening to their songs but then at the end of 2012 i listened to take me home and then they dont know about us basically pulled me into this mess then. i got a 1d twitter and everyone was talking about a larry on my TL ok so i was like wtf do they really think they are dating are they dumb but then one tweet had a link so i clicked it and it was this really long larry text (on tumblr). i was reading on that for 3 days so yeah, ziam then followed soon after and i also remember my first fanfic i read, it was a few days before my friend showed me the songs. i was writing in 2010 fanfics on youtube with justin and everyone of my subscribers suddenly stopped with their fics and started to write 1D fanfics and i was so mad at them but then there was this one it said zirror fanfic so i clicked it and it was zayn with a mirror. my reaction to that was the same one that harry had when he talked about the train dream in your sidebar

(mycollectionofboys) I joined in 2012 but back then i just listened to their music and thought they were cute and all. then i got tumblr, instagram and twitter and started really loving them. Thats when i fell hard. Larry is what made me absolutely in love, just the looks in their eyes and how they were with each other. concluded it. if it werent for them i dont think id be as crazy about them as i am. i dont regret a thing and sometimes louis and harry is the only thing that can make me smile and cry too! i think my fave has got to be louis, the then harry, i love liam zayn and niall equally, cant leave them out! i like how its helped me make heaps of friends and even with all the drama there is always someone. :)) 

Been one since late last year. I wanted to see what all the fuss was about & ended up watching funny/cute moments on YouTube for 7 hours.

I realize you were doing this yesterday, but if you still want it here’s my story :)

The first time I’ve heard of them was also the day i signed the blood oath to these life ruiners. I remember the days as clearly as it were today. It was on the day they released What makes you beautiful, 29th of August 2011. I remember waking up and scrolling through facebook while eating breakfast i know i know i didn’t know better back then i didn’t even know that a society such as tumblr existed back then okay so don’t judge.  This friend of mine posted a video and said ”my babies finally did it”. And I remember looking at that link and reading One Direction and I was thinking ”well I could check this out see who those babies were”. I remember being in the living room on the flat screen clicking the link and waiting for the loading to finish. The fist thought that crossed my mind when i heard the music was ”why does this sound like the soundtrack to Greece?” Then all of a sudden a boy with curly light brown hair appeared on the screen and started singing and my jaw literally dropped on the floor and then another boy with darker brown hair which was also curly appeared and he had these breathtaking green eyes. in that moment I collapsed on the coffee table, my legs not being able to hold me anymore. I remember thinking ”who are these boys? damn they are beautiful and their voices are angel-like”. When the song ended I quickly got to google and googled them. I learned that they were on the x-factor so I went on youtube and searched for their videos and looking through the video diaries I fell in love with their charm, humor, banter the way the were with each other. That’s when I knew that I’m gonna be a fan of them for a really long time. After that I just listened to their song, which evolved into songs, but I wasn’t that much obsessed with them. But then one day idk how I ended up reviving my twitter account and started following them and there was so much stuff coming from tumblr and I remember looking and searching for their pictures  through it and that resulted in me making my very own tumblr acccount and that’s when my obsession devotion bloomed I started reading imagines, one shots, stories, even writing a few myself. Staying informed of what the boys did every second of the day, it was like a job which I thoroughly enjoyed doing and still do. I’ve met a lot of amazing people who became my friends and best friends all thanks to the 5 idiots. I have to admit that I was mesmerized by each of the boys individually which is probably why I was fist a harry girl and I went full circle being a different boy’s girl for a while, but now I can’t pick a favourite I really can’t.  My dream is that when I meet them I could thank them for saving my life countless of times, because of their songs I pulled through some crappy shit and because of their ability to make me smile through tears and make me believe in myself they’ve lighten up countless of gloomy days My favourite moments have to be the video diaries that I miss very much, but also their random banter on twitter and the whole fact that they argue like real brothers sometimes.  Since I came on tumblr I got to know all the wonderful things that go around in the fandom and the most amazing are the ships. My #1 ship has to be Ziall because I really believe that love is true and not just friendly love also over time I was won over to the Larry ship so… :D The best thing about our fandom is how much we stick together and how we back up our boys when they need it at most. But there’s also the hate and the leaking songs, videos, albums of which I do not approve at all, but other than that I love the fandom :) 

Well, it’s kinda a long story…I liked this band called Allstar Weekend and back in early 2011 in the comments section of one of their videos someone said that one of the boys in the band looked like Harry, of course I was like “who is this Harry Styles?” I looked up a picture, and I’m not gonna lie…It wasn’t love at first sight! So fastforward to July 2011, another band I liked, Hollywood Ending, put out a cover of a song called “What Makes You Beautiful” I loved it so much I had to look up the original, they only had the audio of it so I listened to it on repeat the rest of the day. I went to look it up on itunes and they didn’t have anything by this “One Direction” accept this lame American band with the same name. I later found out that they where a British-Irish band and that’s why I couldn’t find any of their music. I still hadn’t seen what they looked like until I saw the WMYB music video, then it clicked! This was the same band with the Harry Styles guy in it, but all I could look at was the one named Liam :) Since that day I’ve love 1D so much and am proud to call myself a Directioner!

so, obviously wmyb was their first single and the one everyone really knew them as. it came out in like the spring of junior year of high school???? i think??? anyways, back then i didn’t think much of them, just that it was a catchy song sure. then during my senior year my little cousins were really starting to get into them and made me watch the one way or another video which made me like ‘wow they’re hot esp that one’ little did i know at the time that it was zayn and i would come to appreciate him so much and sob over his solos. after that i still didn’t pay any attention to them really, just stuck to my jonas brothers. it wasn’t until my best friend jessica decided to get me into them even more, which made my first year of college a doozy. i think it started with her showing me the acapella version of soml in japan (p sure it was japan) and i was like okay they’re pretty good then the video came out and she kept sending me everything one direction since she figured out she could and would get the reactions she wanted. after that it was a fucking spiral down esp when the new album leaked and we made one direction snow men the day of 1d day and i started reading larry fics and i don’t think i’ve ever fallen into a fandom quicker than i did into this one but i’m so glad i did i now own all three albums and the movie on blue ray and have hundreds of pictures of them saved to my phone. das it das my story :)
