In which I remember good times past

kylezyCame across a post on tumblr today requesting fics containing dubcon and was delighted to find a fic I hadn't read in years. And not just that, I think this might have been THE fic. You know. THE fic. The one that gets you into fandom. The one that convinces you to try more of this fanfiction business. The one that could have been made for you, were you not still just a lurking lurker who has no friends yet.
I wonder all the time: what if I hadn't read such good fics and never gotten into fandom and never found some really fucking amazing people?
I really don't know where I'd be right now.
A Hard-On For Violence is the fic, by the way. Is it any wonder teenage boys are my favourite (...trope in fandom, internet police, please sit back down)? This fic must have set the precedent for me (after being conditioned by years of Harry/Draco, Ron/Draco fic of course).
AND I HAD COMPLETELY FORGOTTEN ABOUT IT.
Anyway. There is no real point to this entry, I just felt like sharing my happy days and yay fic feeling.
Is there one particular fic that got you into Merlin fandom?
Also,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
carnivors, do you remember when we were discussing dark!Merlin a couple of months ago and I'm like, duuude, you have to read this one thing, it's totally fucked up and brilliant, and then I couldn't remember what it was? BOOM.

Date: 2012-03-19 02:38 am (UTC)It was a looooooong time ago (twelve years or more maybe) and I didn't even know what fandom was. I just found some stories on the net about a show I liked watching, thought "HEY THIS IS COOL", and started reading.
As for the first fic I loved in the Merlin fandom I have no idea!
Really, with my memory that's like asking me to remember my own birth.
