TrulyWished Posted April 15, 2008 Report Share Posted April 15, 2008 How did I start? Oh man, um, Ranma 1/2 if you can believe it. I read everything I could get my hands on for months. Branching out to Fullmetal Alchemist seemed a natural move as many of the people I met online were into it, pairings or no. I stayed there for a long time then wandered a bit. Now, I mostly write Bleach and I'm working on Weiss and Kyo Kara Maoh. I've seen a lot of anime, so I'll read pretty much anything on the rare occassion I have the time. Though, I'll admit to doing searches on Schuldig from Weiss before I run around looking for something new. He's my baby, almost as adored as Kira adn Gin of Bleach (but not together!) Does that count as my two cents worth? *Oh, and I've always read yaoi and almost always write it. Because I prefer it.* As to actual yaoi series, I get my hands on anything available in english, books or dvds. Hell, I work an extra job for the express purpose of paying for my manga collection.

Gnome Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Way, way back on FF.net before the great crackdown. I was just bobbing along through a few fics minding my own buisness when WHAM! It sent me running for the hills. Then I got curious. Now as of March 2008 I've started writing slash too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairyNiamh Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 *closes eyes and thinks* I started off by watching a FanSubbed eps of Bronze (note: this was more than 10 yrs ago!) Then I helped several of my pen pals edit and color their Sailormoon Yuri... But other than that... I didn't even realize fan fiction existed until 4-5 years ago when I went in search of something to fill the HP void. I stumbled across Spinner's Blind as a Bat story and though I was slightly squicked by the fact that it was Snarry, I read it and was hooked. *winces* Sadly the last book killed all joy I had for anything HP, including writing. Since I had been force fed Naruto at this point (I have a teenage daughter... so yes I was force fed Naruto) I went in search of some good Naruto Yaoi... I'm glad I did as my muses came back to me and I have been writing again (though no SasuNaruSasu... because... well, there is just SO MUCH out there!)

shinigamiinochi Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I watched Gundam Wing on Cartoon Network, but I started several episodes in and needed information on the series, so I went online and got more than I bargained for, but I never shyed away from it or was disgusted, I thought that it was awesome and a week later, I wrote my very first 1x2 gundam wing fic and I've been writing slash ever since.

Guest Savaial Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 FairyNiamh- Totally off topic, I love your avvy. I don't think I knew about fanfiction until about five years ago either, but I've more than made up for the gap. I've been force-fed Naruto too, but I can see the attraction. On the original topic- I started with Het and now have learned to really like the Yaoi. There is something more...pure about it in some ways. I will mostly stick with Het but I can really go for the male on male. I started because someone asked me for it and now I'm hooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
