I think I started on mugglenet fanfiction in about 2005 (the quality was, er, not good). I remember finding hp_art_daily very early on in my fannishness and discovered slashy porny art. That was an odd day; I told a friend about it and we went for a long walk to discuss the porn, haha!

I can't actually remember what attracted me to R/S in the first place. I actually didn't like shoebox the first time I read it, in 2006. I read it properly a few months on, though, and absolutely adored it. I remember reading _demonsblade_ fics a long, long time ago and I think they was probably one of the first R/S fics I read. Also, epprep and utter_rubbish.
