So one day my friend announced she was leaving Seattle and moving back to Minnesota. She was a huge HP fan and tried to make me read it several times, so I decided to pick up the books as a goodbye present. I was massively, horribly prejudiced against them :) The first two did not go too well, but then I go to PoA. I fell asleep thinking about the characters one night and still thought about them when I woke up, so that made me an official HP fan. I was terrified of fanfiction, knowing how much bad writing you get (lots of experience with ff.net, hehe!) and how huge HP fandom is, but then GoF was long and did not touch the subject of Marauders until the very end, and I missed them.
The first fic was from the Russian fandom, but it was pretty bad, had some Snupin in it, and oh god the translated names, places and that damn password for the Map which made me want to scratch out my eyes. Besides, the fandom was relatively small, R/S was hugely unpopular and Snape seemed to creep in everywhere (he's cool, but I mean everywhere), so I got dissappointed and came to hang out here.
