I completely blame remuslives23 for my descent into the madness and the ascent into the happiness that is Sirius/Remus (or Remus/Sirius).
I had been writing HP fanfic for maybe 6 months when she started reviewing an epic story of mine (over at ff.net). Wondering what kinds of stuff this person wrote (because she seemed to have the same sick sense of humour (sorry Julie) as I did), I thought I'd check out her stories. Oh, her het stuff was sooooo very good--and then she wove her indelible web and sucked me into the slash stuff.
I didn't know what I was getting into--but maybe that's a good thing! :)

LOL! I'm sure there are many people who would love to thank me for encouraging you to write porny pups as you do it so damn well. I'm happy to take the blame!

I remember your 'Oh God! What did you do to me? I wrote Sirius/Remus slash!' email with your first slash fic... and it was so bloody brilliant even without actual porn that I wasn't sure if I wanted to hug you or kill you and try and drain your talent and absorb it somehow.

I'm still not sure somedays. :P

*twirls you*

You are amazing, Carny is my canon for those lost years, and I love you to death even if you do write Remus/Tonks sometimes.
