I'm Spanish, not bilingual, started out in the Spanish Harry Potter fandom and soon thereafter ran out of fic to read, so now I'm actually fluent, to some extent, in English, all thanks to fandom. I think that happens a lot--it's not that you don't like your own language, it's that the content in it is just not enough after a while, and eventually you forget how to write prose in your mother tongue.

That may be just me, though.

Anyway, I wanted to clarify that I only read fic in Spanish now if I know the author and am detached enough from the canon to take the dialogue as it is rather than translate it in my head as I read. I'd read fic in the other languages I can read (high school French, Portuguese is very similar to Spanish, took a few months of Italian a while ago) if, you know, I stumbled across something interesting. Which I never do.
