*points at icon* I chose this one because I can't think of a better one to mimic the misanthropy displayed regularly by Sanzo, of the Saiyuki main 4 characters. The man shoots to kill, with friends! :D
I started this one also in college. Possibly freshman year, so '03-04. I'm still waiting for the manga updates, and like Eroica, I buy Saiyuki ( Read more... )

 I resisted Smallville fandom for a long time. I don't have any desire to see the canon, and I doubt I ever will. The only pairing that's at all interesting is Clark/Lex, and I don't actually like Clark very much. I "met" Lex through Ciceqi's crossovers, and he's very much an interesting guy caught in a canon that doesn't treat him right. If *I* ( Read more... )

For 2008, Stargate: Atlantis is going to be my Big Name Fandom, I can already tell :). I actually read ONE fic a few years ago, with no knowledge of anything about canon or fanon. I'm still going to recommend that fic - it's hilarious whether or not you know the characters. However, one of my roommates is responsible for getting me into the fandom ( Read more... )

So, I spent a few years at college with Buffy & Angel. Not literally, of course - they're too emo to live with! ;) Anyway, the bulk of my fandom experience was between 2004 and 2007. These are brief recs... for lack of current interest reasons. I mostly read slash, but there's some gen and het. Check out the crossovers, in particular, for het.

 Bleach caught my interest in, oh, either early 2006 or early 2007 - it feels like longer than a year, so let's go with '06. My interest waned as I saw just how far canon and fanon were diverging... and canon seems to be losing steam & support (NOBODY wants to read non-stop, unimportant side-battles for years, okay? This is the same problem that ( Read more... )

I started reading Eroica sometime in high school. How could I resist a canon that has flamboyantly gay international thieves hitting on German tank-loving NATO officers, set in the midst of the Cold War? Klaus and Dorian are the obvious OTP here, but I did find a few non-OTP fics. Slash, obviously - Eroica is practically allergic to het!

I started reading Eyeshield 21 in early 2007. It's all PeroxidePest's fault - when browsing her enormous fanfiction.net account, I became curious, and started to explore. Wait, no - there's a Naruto story I started reading last year that has a character based on Hiruma in it, and *that* might have been the real start of my foray into this fandom.

...Gravitation,  and Real Ghostbusters. So many tiny!fandoms, so little header space.
These don't even merit a discovery-timeline; generally, I was bored, found fic by an author for a fandom I read often, and chose to wander through their other fandoms. (Sometimes, that really backfired.) Of course, I generally haven't experienced the original canon ( Read more... )
