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!

Leda: Well it was pretty much a case of seeing the book in the library, and winding up reading it and it's immediate sequel many times over. I loved the world, and the characters.

Tully: I was going on a road trip and needed a new audio book to pass the time, and hey, look, one by Jimmy Buffet. I like him. And I love that the narrator sounds like David Caradine.

Tim: This is another case of finding the book in the library, loving it, and re-reading it many many times. I was a teenager myself when I did so, so I really could relate to the boy.

Billy: I grew up watching the cartoon. And then when Marvel started putting out the trades of the old comic I checked them out, remembering some stuff from my friends tales when I was a kid. I wound up becoming impressed with the characterization of the people as opposed to the cartoon. Particularly ol' Snake-Head himself.

Oz: A fan since season one, episode one. I checked it out because I was curious about how they were gonna turn the movie (which I had not actually seen yet) into a tv show. I knew the story of course, because as huge geek, I'd read the novelization of the movie.

Robin: And last but not least, I grew up with the Muppets. And have loved them forever.
