Eee, I come into this late! Bad me, but I was out of town.
SO. Years ago my cousin reccomended this show to me, Queer as Folk. It was on Showtime, however, and the characters were gay, but the story was fabulous (little did she know that boys fucking make me a puddle of goo). Anyway. Many years pass and I stumble on Queer as Folk fanfiction while looking for some good porn fics to read (may as well be honest). I LOVED the characters (lucky for me it was good porn, huh?) and had to know more about them. So I bought season one.
And at the end of season one I cried and screamed and promptly bought the other four seasons. Thus began my unholy love affair with Brian Kinney and Justin Taylor. Though, I wouldn't say no to Ted or Emmett or hell, any of them. I started writing again after years of not doing any real writing, and it was all QaF's fault. My really dirty little secret? I role play Justin in a QaF-esque role play. OH the stupid fun that is.
