Day 14 →A fanfic

The first fanfic I ever read (if we're not counting things like Wide Sargasso Sea and Scarlett) was Kalina Lea's The Buried Life. I found it accidentally, when I was searching for something related to Laurie King's Mary Russell series. I put "Russell/Holmes" into google, and got hits for Kalina Lea's fanfic. The Russell/Holmes fanfic didn't interest me, but I was fascinated by the idea of Severus Snape and Hermione Granger as a pairing.

Thus began my trip down the garden path from HP fanfic to SPN to RPS to bandom.

I didn't linger with the Snape/Hermione shippers, but Snape was and still is my very favorite Harry Potter character, in the books and in fanfic. (Although the Weasley twins are a close second.)

I was clueless until I stumbled onto fanfic. I don't remember my reaction to it other than finding as much of it as I could get my hands on.
