Aaahhh, yessss!! I loooove these posts!! :DDDD

I started shipping R/S in 2005, right before the 6th book came out. I was in Paris at the time, and I went to the Internet cafe a lot, because I had moved to Europe a few months previous and I was feeling homesick, lol. I got into the harry_potter community, posting theories and crap, and I don't actually remember the exact point at which R/S clicked, but it did HARD. I read a lot of fic - the one username I remember is minnow_53 and I reckon it's because it was the only good fluffy stuff being posted at the time that I could find. I also remember seeing that icon:

Harry: You're a werewolf?
Remus: Yes
Harry: Are you fucking serious?
Remus: Yes, that too

Hahahahaha. But I moved on quickly once the book came out, because - come on - new canon took precedence (though I hated Remus/Tonks - I still shipped R/S just not actively). Then I re-read the books a few time in between then and 2010, but in 2010 I got back into R/S fanfic, and then fanart, and over on dA there's a TON of art for anything and everything, and I got bored of thinking I could do better (for most stuff, obvvvvv not all of it, lol!!) and I wanted to draw Sirius with hair like I imagined - "his dark hair fell into his eyes with a sort of casual elegance" but it never says crazy long down to his waist, but that's all I seemed to find. So I drew my own, and you guys were so NICE and loving, and have become my real friends - some of you properly in person or on the phone too! It's the best thing that happened to me in a long time. :DDDDDDD

Oh, I fucking love minnow_53!

One of the reasons why I started drawing R/S fanart is that a lot of people made Sirius look sloppy and girly. Mine still looks girly, but at least he knows how to tie a necktie. :P

And you're just too sweet, you!
