My gateway was fanfiction.net (eek!), where I had been reading stuff in the Outsiders fandom. That is a much smaller fandom than HP, obviously, so when I ran out of good stuff to read I wandered over to the HP section to see if there was anything good there. I honestly have no idea how I ended up reading R/S of all things, but I remember reading folks like mysid and midnitemaraud_r and nyxfixx there, and following links to their LJ's, and discovering that there was much better fic over here. :-P
