I loved the gif - totally sums up how I felt too when I discovered slash!

I came into it through Twilight. I had read the books and then on another website I was using, came across a thread talking about Twilight fanfiction. I lurked a fair bit on the thread, reading the fics they recced before getting up the courage to say hello. And I'm so thankful I did as they have ended up being a fantastic group of friends :). I found slash when someone recced an Edward/Jasper fic, and I was like 'Yes! This is what's been missing!'

From there, someone else moved into Harry Potter fic and I (apparently) said something along the lines of it just wouldn't feel right to read Harry/Draco - hahahaha, now look at me! They are my OTP!

I remember the first one I read. It wasn't particularly smutty but the depth of emotion in it and the relationship Harry and Draco had drew me in immediately and I had to go hunt out more, bringing me to LJ. I pretty much left Twilight after that, simply because HP is so much richer, because of the world JKR created for it. There are so many different ways to write HP fanfic, so many different pairings, that you can find something new each time.

I remember, years and years ago, seeing an item on the news about Star Trek fanfiction and how writers were putting Kirk and Spock together in a relationship. I think at the time I thought 'huh, okay', but I never imagined I might end up being part of it all :D
