There are many Internet activities around various home-made TV-shows nowadays, but only one of them – Bednaya Nastya – Poor Nastya – is known for fanfiction production.

2003

October: The show broadcast starts. (120 episodes; Russian-American co-production; 19 century nobility drama)

Poor Nastya fandom is formed on the official series forum (archivated at www.bednayanastyatv.ru)

The first site with fanfiction archive - http://www.serialnastya.narod.ru

2004

First fics, both het and slash on www.bednayanastyatv.ru, some with adult content – a practice
that is soon cancelled by the hosts. Main reason for moving out of slashers in April was RPS.

First big slash "Poedinok" – "The Duel" by Anonymous Author.

The fandom split into various subfandom based on pairings and actors.
http://tvprogr.narod.ru and http://frendsbn.narod.ru are the only sites dedicated to the series in general (later with fanfiction).

December: www.nebograd.ru is the most notable slash archive; members write multifandom slash, too (Three Musketeers, Alexander, Troya and many more)

2005

Fic "Kavkaz" – "Caucasus" by A.A. was awarded a nomination of "Golden Quill 2005" on slashfiction.ru.
