This is a bit embarrassing actually.
I didn't find LJ through a friend or another website, or even from "stumbling" upon it.
No. I found LJ because of David Tennant. TRUE STORY.
I'd watched Doomsday, and loved it. And I wanted something more. Like you feel when you watch something without fandom? A bit empty and anti-climactic, and not as bothered about who got together than you feel you ought to (even though I LOVED Ten/Rose *is shamed*). Well I had that. I also had a bit of a crush on Ten.
So I searched google for "David Tennant". The first thing that came up was
tennant_love . I could see some of the posts, but I wanted to comment. So I sighed and put my details into another thing on the internet. I lurked around
tennant_love for some time, taking in how this thing worked, not realising what else there was on LJ. Then I found the pr0n. I read several Ten/Rose fics - which I still remember - and loved them *shudder* Then somehow (I have NO IDEA how) I found Five/Turlough. *shrug* That's when it got really bad ;P
That also gives me a good an around about date from when I joined. About three days after Doomsday aired. Must have been a repeat.
