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!

The Adventures of the Galaxy Rangers is one of the newest fandoms that I have gotten into, I never even knew the show existed until probably a year and a half ago.

One of my favourite fanfic authors that I constantly check for weekly updates writes Galaxy Rangers fanfic and even though I didn't even know anything about the show I started reading them and got interested based on the way that she wrote the characters. I found the episodes on youtube and started watching them, getting to somewhere about episode 17 - I thought it was only 12 but when I rewatched the episodes on the DVDs I found that I actually watched more than that as Episode 18 was a new one for me.

I stopped briefly watching the episodes on youtube but when I came back to them I found that the majority had been taken down and I couldn't track down the one episode that I really wanted to see, 'Supertroopers' , which was Episode 47. I knew I wanted to get the DVDs of the show, which I had to import as only the complete sets are available in Region 1 so I ordered them and started watching the episodes.

I'm not sure what it is exactly about Galaxy Rangers that got me hooked, there was just something epic about it - the characters and storylines definitely played a part, Goose in particular was a standout for me as well - especially the depths to his character and it was interesting watching him evolve as the series progressed.

It's just a shame that the show only lasted for one season.
