1) Harry Potter was first. But Dwarf was second!
2) My five years older sister introduced me into Red Dwarf (with Czech dubbing) when I was 13. And yes, this was my first RD comm.
3) I know that exactly. >>This community<< is actually responsible for me falling in love with slash. Specifically kahvi and hazeltea and their stories.
4) Nope. I was just passing by.
5) ListyRimmsy
6) I don't know. But I'd really love to read some young!Rimmer pairing.
7) Me me me! I started my slash journey with RD slash. Very good fandom to start with.

By far! I've been into Red Dwarf before I was even aware of what fandom was

I'd stay up on Saturday nights with my parents and watch all the BBC comedies on PBS.

I think I found the Yahoo group first. Think I found the comm through LJ's old, much more useful than the current, search engine

Lister/Rimmer

Don't really have one

Oh lord. Ummmm I know my friend got me into fanfic with a Babylon 5 fic, but I don't know when I actually started writing fic on my own.

1. By no means. I've technically been in fandoms since the age of 6; I just didn't know it at the time.

2. No, that was Saiyuki that started it off... and Jebus FORK, it has snowballed.

3. Actually, I was playing with Rule 34 after I saw Blue again, and stumbled upon the LJ comm.

4. R/L. I can't help it. They're just so deliciously snarky together.

5. You know, I've thought about it, and I don't really have one. Variations on the "new" Ace are really just R/L. I can't see Cat with anyone without corrective surgery, because I KNOW what male cats have on their dangly bits. Kryten doesn't have the right attachments. I suppose it would be sort of interesting to see Ackerman with R/L as dubcon, but that's a stretch.

6. It was ages ago, with Saiyuki. Someone opened the gate, and I was all O_O like the proverbial Lister in a curry shop. Now, it's pretty much all I write, with a few exceptions.

1. No, but I can't really remember what was. I'm another one that was in fandoms before I knew what they were.

2. My brother watched it when I was very small, so I was always aware of it's existence, but my boyfriend insisted that it was awesome and I should watch it about a year ago, so we started watching the dvds. Now I like it more than he does!

3. I got into slash through the My Chemical Romance fandom, I'm rather ashamed to admit. I keep those comms on my flist just for the lulz these days.

4. I actually stumbled upon it completely by accident. I was searching for RD comms in general, but I realised how much sense RD slash made, so I read a few fics and got hooked.

5. Rimmer/Lister. It just feels right.

6. I don't really have one. I just can't see Kryten or the Cat in a sexual way somehow, and I never really warmed to Kochanski's character.

7. I have written a few fics, but not in this fandom. I tried, but I just couldn't make it work for me.

God, no. Despite the fact that I've been watching RD since Primary School, it had never occurred to me to slash them until quite late. My first was Savage Garden. Good times...

How'd you get into Red Dwarf? Was this comm your first RD comm?

They've started showing this on my local channel so I've watched it.... and couldn't believe how LOLtastic it was. Every Sunday me and my dad would watch it together and just LOLOLOLOLOLOL. good times...

How'd you get into slash? Was this comm your first slash comm?

I didn't get into slash, the slash had always been in me. I'd watch a show, thinking "those two guys look hot together. I will create a story about them in my head. What a pity I am the only one like that in the whole wide world ;_;" *discovers internet* "Holy S!!! Not the only one!!!! :O" My first slash comm was ADM - A Deeper Meaning, a Savage Garden eGroup. Good times...

Did you come here via the RDSS Yahoo Group, or alternatively join the RDSS Yahoo Group after hearing about ( ... )
