This is a wonderful topic! I love seeing how other people are drawn in. My history is similar; always loved the buddy shows and the chemistry between the leads, Han and Luke from Star Wars topping the list when I was younger. For me, I got into fanfic about twelve years ago when I’d be up all night with my one-year old. I remember looking up Hercules on the net to see who that gorgeous man was who played Ares and followed a link that led to some het fic. I had never heard of fanfiction up to that point and I couldn’t believe how much of this stuff was out there! I discovered an archive that had a list of hundreds of tv shows and movies and plundered it. At the top of the page was a link that said ‘slash’ and I thought ‘oooh, cool! Bloody, scary, horror/slasher movie fic here I come!’ LOL Imagine my surprise! Of course, I ended up reading a ton of Ares/Hercules fic and ended up deep in that fandom for about two years, finding Due South at that time fit me pretty well, too. Smallville, Invisible Man, The Fast and the Furious, Star Trek Reboot, and many others followed, but strangely, The X-Files never pinged on my radar at all; I shipped Mulder/Scully and could never get past it. (I tried hard, too. So much fic wasted it was an absolute tragedy.)
