Well spank me rosy!

[castalie]

The other day, nekosmuse asked a question about the first time we discovered fanfiction, and going through the comments, it seemed that most slashers' foray into fandom started with het stories - I know it wasn't my case, but I'm curious, did you start with het? Oh and if you did, which fandom and which pairing? And turps33? I know about your answer but please, play the game because it always cracks me up when you mention your original ST:V pairing *eg*

Now for something different.

Oh wow! How is that even possible? Hear this, the Persuaders archive, the multi-fandom DD archive I thought dead for all those months was apparently still alive! It was just located somewhere else! I never even thought of asking, I just thought it was dead, gone in the ether, not in our cyber reality anymore.

And I was wrong! Oh so wrong. It's alive and kicking - make that, alive and spanking *eg* It boggles the mind. Well, mine at least.

Spent the afternoon with the Eclectic Sibling unit yesterday (that's what I'm going to call them because I decided to include sister + almost-BIL and cousins in the group, so there) since Julien paid us a little visit - he ended up staying the night too, which was really nice *g*

We did what we seem to always do these days: we went to the hospital to see my granddad (no real change, but no worse either, which is always a good thing *g*) and went to the mall afterward. I know it sounds redundant, but when we don't want to do anything special and we don't want to stay home, well, there're not lots of places to go, right? lol Besides, Juju always has a new DVD to buy *g*

This time Julien decided to buy the DVD of Michel Vaillant, which we watched together last night. Well, I really enjoyed it! Not the plot per se, but everything else, I did - and I was surprised because I never cared about Michel Vaillant in the first place, never read the BDs and didn't want to watch the movie when it was released, but well, yes the movie was fun *g*

I couldn't help slash Michel/Steve and Ruth/Odessa all movie long btw - Odessa was so Ruth's bitch, really. They both creeped me out, Odessa even more than Ruth, but Ruth was such a psycho.

What got me was the end though - so Cramer was responsible for David's death, Ruth kidnapped and threatened to kill Michel's father so that Michel and his team lost the race, her goons shot at them when they saved good ol' daddy - and nobody cared? I mean, they won and that's it? Oh yeah, Julie punched Cramer but hey, if he'd killed my husband (well, you know what I mean) I'd punch him too - that's what you do when someone killed the person you love, you punch them. Yeah, okay so she sorta tried to kill him first - but it didn't count, in the end, it wasn't Cramer in the car.

ANYWAY, I enjoyed the movie and chose to ignore some plot lines. So there.

Oh and another thing. Rémi (my other cousin, Julien's little brother) got his results for his Bac de Français (the first part of the first really important exam in our student's life) and they were really good :

French : Oral - 10 / written : 10
History : 16.

16! I mean, wow! My little 'bro' rocks *g*

ETA: AND as alinewrites reminded me, I forgot to mention something important - something I've been talking about several times in the past week lol WaT! I couldn't watch it because of The Esu being here, but I have it on tape. Besides I still managed to sneak in and saw the end of the second episode and uh yeah, I'm going to fucking enjoy that show!!!

Comments

[alinewrites.livejournal.com]

YOu didn't watch WaT, then? It was great; great slashy moments, cute guys, wonderful story.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Man, I knew I'd forgotten to mention something in this post! lol

I couldn't watch the two episodes, but my VCR did its job so I'll watch them today, I think *g* And I still managed to peek at the end of the second episode, and I'm really glad because it looked as good as I thought it would be *g*

Great slashy moments, cute guys, wonderful story.

Definitely *g* The kind of show I really enjoy. Also, itt's a good thing I was already a member of wat_slash, I think *eg*

[enigel]

there were MV BDs and a movie? I only saw the cartoons when I was younger :D
(I liked them... well, for that age, I think I'd scowl at the plots now. but if I watched them now, I'd probably slash the brothers and ignored the plot...)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

there were MV BDs and a movie?

Oh yeah, there are tons (http://www.amazon.fr/exec/obidos/search-handle-url/index=books-fr&field-keywords=Michel%20Vaillant/ref=xs_ap_sai1_xgl14/402-2560171-6505730) of BDs, and the movie (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0307156/) was released in 2003 *g*

[ponderosa121.livejournal.com]

did you start with het?

Nope. Fell in love with Marron Glace of Bakuretsu Hunters, and as he's close to canonically gay, that was the way the cookie crumbled. :p By the time I found fanfiction and the surrounding joys of fandom as a whole, I was already a yaoi fan.

Fandom did make me a bit more straight though, rofl. I used to crush far more often on pretty girls and it was rare that I'd crush on an actor or even think about guys. Oh how things change. :p

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I heard about this anime a lot, but never got to watch it, nor read the manga. Maybe I should try to something about that, actually.

Fandom did make me a bit more straight though, rofl

That's original all right! lol

[enigel]

oh, and I think I told this story many times, but yes - the first time I discovered the notion of fanfic it was with het or gen, simply because these were the archives I stumbled upon.

[the first time I encountered the notion of slash, it was a sort of Sentinel forum - and, yes, I shamefully fled... you mocked me once on this account, don't start again ;-)]

not knowing fanfic existed, I couldn't search for it, and it's by sheer accident that one day I clicked a link named 'fanfic' out of curiosity ("hm, wonder what that is, since every fan site" - I searched info about episodes and photos - "seems to have it..."
"oh, so that's what it is? duuude, it's like having extra episodes! let's read!"

after a few weeks of reading gen and het, enigel finds a J/D labeled slash and her eyes widen.
"oooh!" and she doesn't flee this time... the rest is history ;-)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Mock you because of your knee-jerk reaction the first time you encountered slash? Moi? Of course not! I mean, I only expressed my surprise that one time when I read your story, that's all lol If it can make you feel better, when I first got into slash, I sorta censored the more graphic sex scenes! Not even kidding. It didn't last long mind you, but I did do it, so see? You can mock me too *g*

I was like you. I remember the very first time when I heard about the term 'fanfiction'. I'd discovered the wonder of internet not so long ago and was cruising a site related to Poltergeist: The Legacy of all things, and after I clicked on pretty much all the links on the site, there was this last one called 'fanfiction'. I was curious, clicked and found out this whole new world and wow, what a revelation!

I mean, I was used to reading books on QL or ST:TOS, but on-line fanfic and this whole fics underground was totally new to me. It was Gen though, but I never ever read het. Didn't see the interest then and even less now lol

Though the first slash I tried didn't impress me that much now that I think of it. Not because it freaked me out or anything, but because the stories weren't that interesting - then I found this HL archive, Seventh Dimension - read my first Duncan/Methos series, and I was gone! *g*

[x5-536.livejournal.com]

i must have read a total of 2 het fanfics in my whole life and possibly at gunpoint [read: i was blackmailed].

Babylon 5. Stephen/Marcus. NC-17. the first fanfiction i ever read.

[http://users.livejournal.com/oceana_/]

You read Babylon 5? OMG! It's all over my friendslist! I'm fighting my way through season 1 at the moment, and so far I'm not thrilled. But barkley told me that it gets better, and I already have the DVDs.

[alinewrites.livejournal.com]

I never read het, the first fic I read was a Beecher/Keller story. I'm not interested in het fanfiction. Actually I'm not interested in any fanfiction that involves women.
I'm surprised that many slashers began reading het... I thought slash was some kind of genetic predisposition.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I've never been interested by het, even when I first stumbled on all those archives. My first fanfics were gen though - I discovered slash later on. My dark reader person was already there, but not the slasher. Or more precisely, it was just waiting to be summoned lol The first slash I really got into was Highlander, Duncan/Methos.

I was surprised too. I never thought so many slashers started with het - it amuses to no end. It also makes Het sound like an old religion with all the worshipers converting to something new lol

[http://users.livejournal.com/oceana_/]

My fannish history is a bit longer, but I wrote it down before, so i'll just point you there:
http://www.livejournal.com/users/oceana_/32604.html

And yes, I did start with het. Buffy/Angel and Buffy/Spike. I can't believe that was only three years ago, feels like a lifetime. *g*

Also: notice my new Emmett icon. Emmettemmettemmett. *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Cool, I'll go and read it now. I'm such a sucker for those stories *g*

You too? I'm starting to think that the slashers who didn't start with het are actually a minority! lol

And I sure noticed *g* It's from the credits, isn't it? How I love that new one! It's so perfect - I love it almost as much as the actual episodes lol

[greedy_dancer]

i started with QAF fic ... can you say CANON ? lol
and then LotR FPS, and LotRiPS ... if there is a lot of het in the fandom, i'm not aware of it (het that isn't Mary Sue, i mean ...)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You can't get more canon than that, really lol What a start *g*

To tell the truth, I sometimes have the impression Het isn't that well represented on-line. If anyone asked me, I'd wish them good luck because I don't even know if there are het archives, know what I mean? And I know it's not the case, I have some hetters on my flist and they fare quite well, but I like to think of het archives and the like as an urban legend lol

[ruggerdavey.livejournal.com]

I started with het. X-Files. Mulder/Scully. In fact, in the Gossamer Project archive (which had a huge amount of MSR), there were a few stories that had descrpritons like Mulder/Skinner slash or Mulder/Krycek slash or Skinner/Krycek slash, and I assumed that that meant the stories were about fighting or something (like slasher movies). It wasn't until I stumbled across the 852 Prospect archive after catching The Sentinel in reruns on the SciFi channel that I discovered slash. And I was hooked. Of course, before the slash I read story after story with Mulder/Scully (and other het pairings).

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Lots of people seem to have started with MSR - and I heard about the Gossamer Project archive often enough. My own first XF archive was the Mulder Torture Anonymous archive - definitely slash and definitely dark, quite a start too lol

And I know what you mean about those weird Skinner/Mulder things, the first time I saw Duncan/Methos I clicked out of curiosity because I wondered what that sign could be - as you can imagine, I never looked back! lol

[crystalskull.livejournal.com]

Ah, the addiction that is WaT. Welcome to the Special Hell!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Watched the episodes I'd taped and wow! Thanks for the warm welcome *g*

[greensilver.livejournal.com]

Just for you: my fandom history (http://www.livejournal.com/users/greensilver/112717.html).

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Yes, just read it - it was greaaaaaaaat, thanks *g*

[ninkasa.livejournal.com]

I didn't start out in slash. I started out reading Highlander gen fics. I think I read maybe three het stories (they were Mary Sue fics, although I didn't know that at the time). Then one day my friend ninurta asked me if I'd beta a Methos/Kronos fic.

I didn't become encased in slash fic until Jack and Daniel, though. I was reading their slash fics before I ever saw the show.

After that, came The Sentinel (which I found through SG fandom). Then Queer as Folk came along because the girls on AG told me that if I wanted to write realistic m/m I needed to see QaF. (I'd never written sex before in a fic, because I wasn't sure I could do it.)

Then the Dark is Rising (Will/Bran) and now Harry Potter (Harry/Draco).

I was petrified of the H/D idea at first, I could NOT figure it out. But if you've read my journal, you know this story. :D

And DiR? I was slashing those two before I ever read the books, thanks to ninurta telling me about it.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I started with Gen too - and HL was my first slash fandom. So your very first taste at slash was Kronos/Methos? Talk about a great start! lol

Wait, you mean you want to QAF through SG in a way, and TS through SG too? Nice! *g* It's true that lot of people discover SG via TS or vice versa.

But if you've read my journal, you know this story. :D

I sure do! It was cute actually, you more or less became a HP addict when I became a QAF one lol

[slow-mo-panda.livejournal.com]

My first fandom/pairing was Mulder/Scully, but I never read much fanfic for it. I wrote a few 'shipper stories with no sex scenes. One makeout scene. ;) But then, I never slashed X-Files pairings at all. I moved on to Voyager and immediately loved both slash and het pairings in that fandom, (Just Paris/Torres, and then Tom/Chakotay and Tom/Harry). So I didn't exactly *start* with het in Voyager before slash. I was only 14 when I was into Voyager, and by the time I was 15, I was very much into Sentinel slash, and then SG-1 slash, and so forth. I never read het anymore. :)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You seem to have started with two of the biggest fandoms there were - ST and XF *g* The first time I read STV slash it was in a HL x-over and I didn't know the characters at all --STV didn't air here except on the cable-- but I got hooked on Chakotay/Paris immediately, I read the fandom afterward, because Chak/Tom? This pairing is of the good *g*

But my very first slash fandom was HL, Duncan/Methos. I'm still really grateful to them for making me discover this whole new world *g*

[mimine.livejournal.com]

I am a natural born slasher in tha I've been slashing everything down to Peter and the Wolf ever since I was little. However I didn't know slash existed so the very first fanfic I saw was het. Horrid Mary Sue Law and Order fanfiction. Which was simply brilliant to me because until then I didn't know fanfic existed so it was like a new door was opened. Add in discovering slash (first slash L&O, first explicit slash, The Sentinel, baby!) and I was in heaven.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Ahhh a genetically pre-disposed slasher, how I like to hear that! *g* Though you had to go through the het thing first, din't you? *sigh* Lol

That's what discovering what fanfic was, really, a door opening on a whole new world - and slash even more, I second that *g*

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

the first time we discovered fanfiction

Ahh, well, I was already a yaoi convert by the time I discovered fanfics ^_^!

Okay, the long story... I got into Gundam Wing through watching it on Cartoon Network. I noticed the very obvious chemistry between Quatre and Trowa but not between Heero and Duo; so when I went online to find out more, I was actually looking for stuff about Heero and Relena. I then came across a site (which has since closed *sniffs*) that gave a very detailed and well reasoned argument for Heero and Duo (1x2) being together. Whilst I was reading it, I was nodding thinking, 'Yeah, why didn't I see this before!' As you already know, I have always been a firm believer that gender does not matter when it comes to love, I have never felt any other way regarding this. What I found surprising was when I came to read 1x2 fics was that I found them very hot!

I thought that this was because my main sexual preference is of the male persuasion but I have realised (as I have come to realise that I like women as well, just not as much) that for me personally, it is about penetration, that is what I find a turn on ^_^!

There, probably more than you ever wanted to know but hey, I like sharing!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

There, probably more than you ever wanted to know but hey, I like sharing!

Actually no, it wasn't, it was actually really interesting - I'm enjoying this thread tremendously *g* And I totally second what you said about the last bit, because that's the same thing for me - I mean, it's the main reason why I like my favourite guys to bottom now that I think of it *g* And I defy anyone to tell me it's because I'm identifying with them - huh hello? Lesbian here, thanks. I never ever watched movies or read books and put myself in the characters' place. I know it's how lot of people do, but not me.

Anyway, I digress *g* I didn't know about yaoi before I was into slash. Actually, I found out about yaoi a couple of years ago as opposed to five years for slash. I was aware and absolutely adored all the gay subtexts and sometimes down right texts I could find in mangas, I mean, I'm a fan of CLAMP after all, right? But I only found out about yaoi by accident, while reading one of my favourite magazine dealing with the anime world. It was such a revelation too! I remember calling babycakesin immediately to read the whole article to her! lol I never looked back obviously *g*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

So you watched Michel Vaillant, huh? See, I told you it was fun! I love the end of the race - who isn't the slowest? lol The good guys are really good, the bad guys are really bad... It shaped my world - and you wonder why I'm weird now - it goes with reading too much Michel Vaillant as a kid :D

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I finally did, yes, and I enjoyed it. I could be convinced to try the BD once, cause I'm curious about it now *g* And you, weird? Naaaah, must be talking about your weirdo of a twin for sure!

First Fandoms...

[etakyma.livejournal.com]

My first fandom was many many many years ago with a comic book - long before the internet was in more than it's infancy, and the Web was still a dream of "someday". One of the relationships in the comic book was ambiguousley sexual between two male characters, and I just assumed they were lovers. I was about eleven.

Twenty-odd years later I have been writing fanfic for many of those, but only sharing in the past five years or so. I can read het, but I really prefer slash and gen.

I am pretty pan-fandom in my tastes. If I find an author I like, I will try and read all of their work, no matter the fandom, if I am familiar with it or not. The only fanfic I stay away from is based on video games (yep - it's out there) and anime (but only because I don't watch anime and don't understand who the characters are).

Currently, I read:
Harry Potter (but less now, as my preferred pairing is semi-obscure, and blocked on a major story I am co-writing)
The Sentinel
Stargate SG1
Magnificent Seven (any AU)
Smallville (but only because of dolimir and kyanoswolf)
Houston Knights (fairly obscure)
Without a Trace
due South
Star Trek (almost any of the incarnations - if the story is well written)
Occationally Highlander
and a smattering of others I get into but don't really stay.

I guess you can say I like cop shows... Hmmm... I hadn't really thought of that before.

Re: First Fandoms...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Hi there *g*

I can read het, but I really prefer slash and gen.

Oh so you're poly-fictional? Also I was wondering, since you can read het even if you really prefer slash, would you/do you read for instance both Jim/Blair and Jim/Megan (or any other pairings where you find at least one common character in said pairing)? Or do you have specifics pairings for each genre that aren't inter-changeable? And am I confusing you here? lol

I sometimes read a fandom I don't really know anything about just because I know and love the author, and was curious to read more of them, but on the whole, I stay close to my fandoms. I really love the connections I have with the characters already. And I know, when I read books as opposed to fanfics, the connection isn't there in the first place (except when I'm reading a series, I mean) and I sure enjoy them, but it's different for fanfics *g*

I see that we share several fandoms :

Harry Potter -> I do read HP from time to time. My favourite pairings are Lupin/Snape and, don't die from the shock please, Hagrid/Snape. Those pairings never cease to amuse me since canon, I'm all for Remus/Sirius, go figure *g*
The Sentinel -> I don't need to tell you how much I love that fandom, do I? It's one of my three mains, I can't get enough of it, I just can't *g*
Stargate SG1 -> Ditto. Oh yeah! lol
Magnificent Seven (any AU) -> I read some when the mood strikes - it's sorta rare but I still do. Never watched the series but know the characters anyway, and I really like Eric Close so I like to dive in sometimes *g*
Smallville -> I'm apparently an oddity here but I think the show is boring and lame, and never had the urge to look for stories *g*
Houston Knights -> I remember that show, and I also remember reading two or three fics.
Without a Trace -> Knew the show thanks to my flist, read some fics and now that the show *finally* airs here, I can see a new official fandom coming *g*
Due South -> Love the show but find the stories too tame for my tastes. Go figure lol
Star Trek -> Fan of ST:OS, I never really tried the fandom, but I sure read ST:V.
Occationally Highlander -> The very first fandom I really got into, and the one that opened the door to slash for me. I'm still reading that one *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll bite even though I know you like to laugh at my story *g*

Like you my first fansite was a PtL site. I didn't have a computer at the time so used to go to the local library. I saw something called fanfiction there but had no idea what it was.

Then we got our first computer and as I was a trekker I looked up Voyager sites. From which I found the P/T list *waits for Mouse to stop laughing* I was an avid P/Ter for a long time, reading through the archive, on lists etc. Then one day I was at Yahoo groups and saw this link to stories called slashfic. Now, I don't like horror films so didn't check it out. However, weeks later when I couldn't find anything new I went back, clicked and it was a C/P n/c story! I was like 'I'm not the only one that likes this stuff'. Before that I thought I was some kind of freak for liking hurty gay stuff, yet here was this vast place full of the stuff I like!

I then read through Voy, PtL, TAT, BSG, HL, TS ( and I'll remember that day forever! ) SG, MX and many many more until I get to now and popslash.

So yes, I was a hetter, an official one too *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'm not laughing! Yeah okay I am, but only very discreetly, sis, promise *kisses*

And you know thinking back of the first times - I remember censoring the more graphic sex scenes when I read slash! lol It didn't last long, but I did in the very beginning *shakes head* Aren't I cute *makes face*

Seriously, it amuses me to no end that most slashers started with het. I mean, I never knew het would be the first genre people saw on-line - or looked for for that matter but that's just because I never thought of doing it myself lol Believe it or not, but even when I first got into fanfics, I never really even *found* het. It was Gen all around - and then slash. Oh sure, I saw some het stories here and there and wasn't interested anyway, but it wasn't the obvious genre it seems to have been for most of you *g*

Before that I thought I was some kind of freak for liking hurty gay stuff, yet here was this vast place full of the stuff I like!

Tell me about it! Some of the very first slash archives I found were Amothea's Angst and the Mulder Torture Anonymous archive - I was already me, all right! lol

[absinthfire.livejournal.com]

My first fandom shock was X-Files and yes, it was het. Mulder/Scully of course. I was like… fourteen. lol. I found it on a weird random search on the school computer. I even remember the first story: If You Were to Wake (http://kate.rickman.home.mindspring.com/wake.html)
by Kate Rickman (actually that would be the second one but the first one with sex). heh. Gossamer was my God. *snickers* But then I moved on to Mulder/Krycek via Nonie Rider and her To the Hilt (http://basement.ditb.org/archive/17/nonieridertothehilt199401.shtml) series. Which also helped kick off my… kinks in fic. I went M/K crazy for a bit. Damn did I. As well as M/Sk and M/Sc/K and-- anything with all of them in anyway pretty much. I think I’m still in love with Up Against the Wall (http://basement.ditb.org/archive/10/jenisaksupagainstt193901.shtml). Not to mention Theban Band and the manips-- which I had one of the wing!manips up on my wall for quite some time. *g* I was in that fandom for a good four years before I looked into anything else, well that and I didn’t have a computer and no real care for anything else. But alas you know what turned my head don’t you? *sigh* Jack and Daniel. More specific: Dannywhumping. >:D I run the first two fics I read in the SG fandom together but damn they were brilliant. I would love to find the one again but I only remember part of the story. Oy. Adrenaline, drug induced, blood thirsty Daniel going after his Jack. Then there were a few piddly ones in the middle before I hit LOTR and now HP. Oh and Buffy *grumbles about Spike and Andrew*

Still there is nothing better than a good ole fic where Mulder and Kryeck beat the shit out of each other and one or the other is forced… *sighs* One of my favorites had to do with asphyxiation. Wow. I am a freak. lol.

Heh. You asked for first and I gave you my whole history. Um… sorry? :) I just did a whole list of what I read on my info the other day too, for like the hell of it. I know I’m still missing some. Eh. But those are my main stables.

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Hey thanks for all the links!

XF didn't come first for me. The very first time I encountered fanfic it was Poltergeist: The Legacy, gen - but the moment when I really got into fanfic was Highlander. It's thanks to that fandom that I found out about slash. XF came afterward and I forged my darker reader persona thanks to those two fandoms, XF in particular *g* I never even tried to look for Mulder/Scully because I didn't want them to hook up on the show, I wasn't going to pair them in *fics* right? lol Anyway by then, I was already a slasher and didn't even think of trying something else.

I have some favourites M/K stories, dark and preferably with Alex forcing his little Fox, but I think my favourite ever is the Second Grace (http://basement.ditb.org/cgi-bin/search.cgi?SizeMin=0&SizeMax=0&Date=0&Awards=0&AuthorsChoice=0&Title=Second+Grace&Title_Range1=0&Author=&Author_Range1=0&CatOther=&Summary=&SortBy=0&SortOrder=0&NumToList=0&ShortResults=0) series. Actually I have a second that comes close, but I never remember the title sorry *sigh* And I just checked it's not on my HD anymore, so huh I could go on a disk hunt but it's scary! lol

Oh and Danny Whumping is my religion! I still remember finding the Danny Whumping Archive, I was in heaven! lol

Don't apologise, it was fun and interesting *g*

[stacy-l.livejournal.com]

The first time I discovered fan fiction? It was actually after Early Edition went off the air. You know the show with the cute little orange tabby cat who always delivered the newspaper a day early so that Gary Hobson could run around and save everyone... Yep it wasn't Stargate it was Early Edition.

I was one of those people who deeply opposed the cancellation of the show. I was hooked on that show for a time I tell you. I even participated in the catfood can campaign. What fans did was box cans of cat food and write on them something about saving EE and bringing Gary back. The cans were then donated to local animal shelters. It was for a good cause and a good show so I participated. When I discovered the show was officially cancelled I started combing the internet for stuff and stumbled onto fan fiction. That's also when I started writing it as well. Wrote two EE stories...one's not finished but that was my start. Not long after that I stumbled into the Stargate Fan fiction realm...Heliopolis was the first archive I found and I quickly became a devoted fan fic writer and reader of Stargate.

As for your second question: did you start with het?

No. I actually started with gen fic. I read a ton of gen fic on the EE fan fic list then found Stargate and read a ton of gen fic in that fandom. It wasn't until reading tons of gen fic that I jumped into the het and slash. Somewhere along the line I became an addicted slash writer and now seem to only be able to produce Jack/Daniel slash...

Take care!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Of course I know about Early Edition, I really like that show *g* There was a rerun not so long ago here as a matter of fact. So you were a big fan? And an active fan, too, I'm impressed *g* You even wrote two EE fics? Interesting *g*

I started with Heliopolis too with SG, or more exactly I was looking for slash and on my way I found the Heliopolis archive - I really liked the stories there so didn't exactly abandon it even after stumbling on Area 52 *g* SG and TS are the only two fandoms for which I can read gen.

But I started reading fics with Gen, not het. It just never took my fancy. Not ever *g*

now seem to only be able to produce Jack/Daniel slash...

You do it so beautifully, too *g*
