*is a curious one*
Just because I'm wondering, how many of you were into slash before you found fandom? Or was it the other way for you? You found fandom, and then slash?
I'm the former, and it seems the more I talk to people, the more I seem to do it backwards from them. I liked the guys in shows together long before I realized there even was a thing called fandom, and been writing fanfic for as long.
I know I can't be the only one. But I am curious now.

The reason it's kind of hard for me to pin down in because, for the longest time, I didn't connect the concept of yaoi/slash with homosexual relationships in books. As far as that goes - Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern, where fully half of the fighting force has no problem waking up to a bed-partner with stubble (to paraphrase a friend); also Mercedes Lackey, with Vanyel and Tylendel/Stefen most notably. That's stretched back to elementary school. ^^;;
...speaking of Anne McCaffrey, I am currently desperately trying not to turn Sephiroth into a military brainship with Zack and Cloud as his brawns. *buries her head in her hands*
