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 have a soft spot for Disney Channel programming {especially original movies} and I knew of Selena Gomez from her stint on Hannah Montana, so when promos for Wizards of Waverly Place started, I decided to check it out.

I immediately fell in love with the show, as silly as it could be. I love anything having to do with magic, so a show about three wizards-in-training was right up my alley. The fact that they did a two {or three} part storyline to pay homage to Harry Potter made me love it even more.

Alex quickly became my favorite character since a) she was the only girl of the three kids and b) she was a bit of a rebel {and sometimes I wished I could be more like her, DON'T LAUGH}.

I love all its crazy, silly, cracked out goodness and it keeps topping itself -- vampires, mummies, werewolves, fairies, zombies, etc. -- clearly Alex was destined for Fandom on that alone. ;) Plus, I wanted a character who wasn't a fighter (hi Tori and Adam) or a do-gooder by nature but would help when the going got tough (research, ho!), hence my apping Alex.
