DPP: Your K/L Origin Story

[plaid-slytherin.livejournal.com]

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. :)

I had the (apparently canonical for this community) reaction to the initial brig scene of "I can see where *this* is going"--but it's actually really fast that you realize that you *can't*--and then way later in canon when you realize they were always going to screw you.

I watched the whole thing last summer, after it aired. Been thinking about it lately because it was this time last year that my bf and I started, and am kind of itching for it. I had read Jacob's reviews--lots of them, but I read them devotedly, including reading his Gossip Girl reviews instead of ever watching the show--and it was the hardest thing ever not to read ahead for what happened to the pilots, but instead watch the show at the pace my boyfriend was capable of (an episode, at most two, a night? ugh). They really eclipsed almost all of the other plotlines of the show, although any scene with Laura Roslin is a good scene in my book.

Lol. I had the same problem with my husband, and thus spoiled myself sily!
