Being new to a fandom is an interesting point that I hadn't considered. There was a series in Smallville that I loved when I first started reading fanfic. Just loved it to pieces; it probably helped me get into Clark/Lex. Then a few months ago, I was feeling nostalgic and went looking for it, and I realized it was written by a writing team that I hate. I can't go back and re-read it now, because I know I'll hate it, and I don't want to ruin the memory.

Delurk any time you feel like. :o)
