Hey!!! Thank you for sharing! I love how you discovered fanfiction! I just wished I had discovered it earlier! This is how I got in touch with it and it was a year ago! (happy slashy birthday to me! :D) http://sophie-french.livejournal.com/10240.html
But before that... I've always been obsessed with m/m things. I don't know where it comes from, but I think it all started around the time there was a film called "Les Nuits Fauves" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Savage_Nights that everybody was raving about because it was subversive and well, hot. It also was the time when people would talk about AIDS a lot, and Freddie Mercury had just died and so on. I remember buying the book and there were gay erotic scenes and wow. It was (goes to check the year)1992 so I was barely fifteen. After that, I started writing slash stories in my head and they evolved over the years. I even wrote them down at one point but can't put my hands on the files (and it already was in English if I'm not mistaken.) Then I discovered Gay erotica on the internet and learned a lot of stuff! lol. And from time to time, among the numerous PWP, I stumbled on very good, very long, relationship-y kind of stories that I would literally fall in love with. There was an author I particularly liked who wrote very nice, heartfelt, hot stories.
Never in my wildest imagination had I thought there was such things as fandoms... Nor that people were perverting Harry Potter, lol! I so wish I had discovered it earlier! But hey, better late than never!
Anyway, I came into the fandom because of Harry/Draco and they'll always remain my OTP. I just love them too much! :D
