I am a new fan of Queer as Folk, just finished watching the show about two months ago. (I watched it in less than two weeks.) I had heard about it before, of course, but paid it no mind. I caught the UK version on hulu which made me want to watch the US version. Luckily my friend had the first two seasons on dvd. And well, once I started watching, I couldn't stop until I finished it all. I am so glad the fandom for this show is still so huge and vibrant, for newcomers like me!
Like most people I'm a long time user of livejournal, but came here because all of the amazing qaf resoucres. This is the first fandom I have gotten into fanfic with, and I've become addicted to it! I'm really looking forward to being involved in this fandom as I've been a lurker most of the time, but I am trying to change that!
