I LOVE the marauders. I was in HP for years I think, before I even considered other things could have fandoms. It was HP that showed me that Queer as Folk and Good Omens had fandoms and yes I could write for them too. And I was always such a sucker for canon. Aside from having those two shagging I hated to deviate from canon. I hated AUs, really.

And then I moved on and moved on and moved on and lurked in a zillion other fandoms and wrote fic for some of them. And then Pretty. Odd. came out and my flist dragged me kicking and screaming into bandom and now I live for AUs, because no matter what we write, we're still treating real people as characters and the idea that we'll get what has happened %100 right is just ludicrous. I tell people all the time that bandom is the best fandom ever because our 'canon' is constantly changing. They're real people who really do stupid things and interact in ways that sometimes surprise us or make us laugh or make us angry and sometimes it's even better than fic.

I think though, my one common thread through all fandoms is that I've always loved stupid boys being stupid boys.
