tell me a story, game!

So with the new kids coming in and showing off their shiny new fandoms, I'm curious.

How'd you get into your canon?

Did you just pick it up one day and found yourself unable to put it down, or did someone (maybe from this game) drag you into it? How long have you been into it? Was there any one thing or character that hooked you on it? This is your chance to wax nostalgic and go on about what made your canon so cool for you. If there's a story behind it, tell us! And if there's not... tell us anyway!

I got into due South in the wrong order. A few years back, I saw a lot of dS stories being recc'ed on crack_van that had the pairing of Fraser/RayK. And I idly clicked on one story and ended up LOVING the pairing by the end of the story. I had to read EVERYTHING that was Fraser/RayK after that even though I'd only heard of the series but never seen it.

Once I'd pretty much devoured the entire Fraser/RayK fandom (with some Fraser/RayK/RayV thrown in there), I wanted to see the canon. For awhile, dS DVDs were tough to find. They were only available via Amazon.ca and I begged my mom for season 1 for X-Mas. She came through and I was on my way! Best Buy eventually got it together and stocked all the seasons and I bought them all and blitzed my way through the series.

I had NO IDEA that Fraser and RayK were going to be as slashy as they were on the series as they're written in fic. But, I was wrong. SO SLASHY. And such a great little show that's always rewatchable.
