DPP: Your K/L Origin Story

Hey guys! I'm PS and I'll be doing the DPPs for this week. I guess I'm still kind of new to K/L, so I thought I'd start out with something basic. It might be good for the old hands to look back at this again and us newbies can share for the first time.

How did you first get into BSG? Who were you drawn to first? When did you start shipping Kara/Lee? How did you get over to the fandom and this corner of it? What was the first fic you read or wrote? Reminisce howevermuch you'd like. :)

So, I'm a bit late to the party, and don't really have the time right now....
But very quickly !:

How did you first get into BSG?
Well I went to an exhibition in Paris last year whose topic was "Science and Fiction". It was a remarkable exhibition whose goal was to draw parallels between the most famous SciFi books, movies and TV shows and the actual state of the science when they were written/shot. And in this exhibition, there was a "real sized" plane with "Starbuck" written on it... And a bit behind a gigantic screen with lots a videos, including one with this plane and a blond girl screeming gleefully. I was with two friends, we loved it and then I said "you know, I actually think that I've got this show at home - one of my friends told me to watch it 2 months ago". Well, we went back home, and spent the night watching the 1st season :D

Who were you drawn to first?
Difficult to say. Cally, the Chief, Helo and Sharon I think... Although Lee and Kara came quickly after !

When did you start shipping Kara/Lee?
Easy for me to answer this one ! During the 1st episode, when they argue in front of Starbuck's plane, because Lee wants her to take the stims. Best scene ever !! (especially when the chief rolls his eyes at the end). For me, it was obvious at that point.

How did you get over to the fandom and this corner of it?
I've been reading fanfiction for a long time now (the way I learnt English !), so I quite naturally started looking immediately for fics on BSG. As for LJ, I think I got it through Kag523, as she was posting regularly on FFN, but I wanted to read the complete version of her fics ;) And that's how I stumbled upon you all.

What was the first fic you read or wrote?
Can't remember !!! But my best bet would be one by Hackaddict/Mystic83 (still addicted to her fics and still hoping, one day, that others will appear... Yes, exactly like I hope that Starbuck did not really go "poof" at the end).

that stims scene, it always makes me smile. I watched Season 1 right after watching the miniseries, and for a newly inducted shipper, that scene is THE most delightful. And it's so nice to see a new face (well, icon :) ) in here :)

BSG has the best fic of all the fandoms I've ever been in, though - I keep repeating myself but it's true. It helps that I have such top-notch material with which to soothe the heartache of the poof.

thanks ! I'll have to work on the icon though ;)
