I was having a look through some of the old files on my laptop and I came across a few caps that I'd done of the first season of 21 Jumpstreet - my original obsession and the series that kicked off a Johnny Depp fixation that spanned 14 years.

And the only thing to break that obsession was ~drum roll~ you guessed it, Buffy. Or, more specifically, Spander.

So, in fond memory of a TV show long passed but much loved, I made an icon. ~points~ Totally sharable. Feel free to snag.

Now, that brings me to something else.

I wrote a heck of a lot when I was very young, but for reasons that I wont go into - because it would probably involve pages and pages of babble and the possible need for a head doctor - I stopped writing around the age of about 14. Shortly after, I discovered 21 Jumpstreet, and , as I said before, it kicked off a mammoth obsession with the show and with Johnny Depp.

Then, several years ago, I discovered The Matrix. Cue another obsession. But instead of replacing my Johnny kink ~cough~ it merely extended it. I began to fantasise about Tommy from Jumpstreet, who by this point was so much more than an undercover cop - in my head - and Neo with his dark glasses, long coat and Big Fucking Guns. Yep, in my head, I crossed them over.

I will also admit to dreaming about Johnny Depp/Will Smith, although it came nowhere near to the utter joy of Tommy/Neo. I even had T/N Sims.

And the rest is History, or if you'd like a slightly longer version: Along came Spike and Xander and within a week poor old Johnny Depp and Keanu Reeves were out on their unwanted, discarded, frankly-not-interested backsides. Two months later I was writing again.

This got me to wondering, if I'd known about fanfiction all those years ago, would I have written Jumpstreet slash? Or Matrix slash? Would I have written a really weird Jumpstreet/Matrix hybrid crossover? Or, if we go back a little further, Doctor Who slash? Or ~gulp~ Neighbours slash? (And yes, you may bitch-slap me for my Jason Donovan phase)

So, what about you? What would you have read, searched for, or written if you'd known about slashfic/fanfic a decade or more before?

I think it was the vampires, to be honest. Somehow, it seemed to me you could do so much with them that you couldn't do with human characters.

To this day, I've no interest in reading slash fics in any other fandom and with some, I can't get my head round why anyone would want to write or read them.

I'm a Jossverse girl through and through.

Completely! The vampire thing!! And you have eternal love; that certainly attracts me ;o)

The only other fandom I play in really is DC, and even then I have this habbit of crossing over. Hee! But DC did grab me, in a lesser way, like Buffy did. I think it's something to do with a rich playground to fiddle about in.

Well, super-heroes - they're not exactly human either (or a lot of them aren't).

Exactly - in both Btvs and DC anything is possible. I'm very attracted to that
