Hmm. Pseudo-lurker here, and late to the party as well. I'm 20, and I live in southern GA.
I discovered QaF on Livejournal. Kept seeing icons like Emmett dancing in the opening credits and Brian and Justin in ep 107. After a year of seeing those icons at least once a week, I gave in and decided to find out where they were from. So I started watching about a year and a half ago, and I've been thoroughly (and obsessively) in love with the show ever since.
This is the most loving, accepting fandom I've ever been a part of, or even seen ^_^ It is truly amazing how this show has brought people together.
I collect icons like the packrat I am, and I'm still making my way through all the lovely fics out there. I could not possibly pick a favorite.
Oh, and I'm aramina48 over on LJ. I spend more time there, but I do check my flist here, and may start using my IJ more often.
