For those of you who like slash, what was the first fandom you started reading slash in and what was the first slash couple you shipped?

Mine was fairly stereotypical: Kirk/Spock, Star Trek, but the first time I heard of the idea of "Hoyay" was osmosis through fandom friends about Clark/Lex in Smallville.

Equally stereotypical: HP, Harry/Draco.

x-men (evolution?) fics on nifty, ten years ago

I didn't have a true pairing until house/wilson

Stargate Atlantis, which was actually my very first fandom anyway. And it was John/Rodney.

Gundam Wing, 1x2, 1x3 and 2x4. I have always been a multi-shipper, apparently.

Zoicite/Kunzite from Sailor Moon was my first slash ship ever. I got into the pairing as a kid with the dub, and then discovered the internet and found out Zoycite was actually Zoicite. I still loved the ship which totally disappointed one of my "friends" who tried to tease me about it.

For a long time I was almost exclusively a slash shipper, but now I have a lot more het ships, and some fem-slash ships mixed in.

...Gah, it's been a long time. Maybe Hiei/Kurama? Though I was certainly shipping Xena/Gabrielle before that (femslash should count imo!) and I didn't even realize it.

Fakir/Mytho from Princess Tutu.

Although I think I miiiight've shipped Daisuke/Satoshi from D.N.Angel first (and possibly some pairing from Digimon, although I can't remember which one), but I grew up in a conservative Christian family so I didn't really want to admit it at the time. But Fakir/Mytho was the first slash pairing I admitted that I shipped openly.

Umm, HP technically, though I didn't actively ship any slash couples... just got all hot and bothered over a Draco/Harry body switching fic (oh god those fics). Now I hate that pairing but there you have it.

The first slash ship I actively shipped was Kirk/Spock.

Transformers, actually. I didn't even really know much about fandom until I visited weepingcock on lj for laughs. I learned how fandoms worked through what people mocked there but never really got into any. Then people started posting quite a lot mocking the very concept of Transformers having sex, and I found it weird that fandom people would find anything weird. So eventually I wandered into the fandom myself, and liked it, and stayed.

I still didn't really ship anything at first -- while unlike the weepingcockians I didn't find it off-putting inherently, I wasn't really interested. But I did read fic that had sex in it, and I liked some of it. Before I knew it, I shipped Megatron/Optimus (before Exodus, so I shipped it before it was cool -- it was HILARIOUS when all the people who had thought it was the weirdest ship ever were suddenly twitterpated over it) and ended up RPing it with someone.

The rest was history.

I heard of it in Farscape fandom, stuck strictly to gen reading SG1, ventured occasionally into slash in Sentinel, and read gen/slash/het indiscriminately in Highlander and since. (Obviously this is the order I was wandering into the fandoms, not the order the fandoms existed.)

Pokemon. Red/Green

Digimon 01/02: Matt/Tai. Though, my OTP for that fandom is Tai/Izzy. I also liked Ken/Davis. I wrote one Izzy/Ken fic.

Death Note - Light/L

I don't really ship them anymore, though.

I can't even remember. I do remember explaining K/S to my then boyfriend at a convention, when the Fan GOH was a K/S'er and had all this not quite erotic but still blatant art, and boyfriend, who was the Pro GOH, liked her art, but found it very off-putting and couldn't figure out why.

...this was in the '80's.

I'm not particularly into slash; I'm mostly a canon-shipper, but there are a few fandoms where I can see the appeal.

I got over it pretty quickly and I don't even ship that pairing anymore, but I think my first was Chakotay/Paris in Star Trek: Voyager.

Although I realize now I subconsciously ship and always have the two main characters from one of my favourite childhood books. *see icon*

my memory is not very clear, but i want to say... FF7? i dont really remember if there was any other fandom i was into at around that time.

I think I've always been a latent slasher/shipper, but I'm pretty almost sure that Yugioh and puppyshipping were my first "totally onboard" ships. Seto/Yugi (not Yami) was my secret ship.

Or was the first one Ranma/Ryoga? Or Ash/Gary?

Or was it actually Chandler/Joey? Or just plain ol' Anthy/Utena!? I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE

Supernatual, Dean/Castiel. Until then I shipped nothing but m/f pairings, now I've got more m/m and a few f/f that I like. I was aware of slash and yaoi before I started shipping it though.

Beyblade! I used to have a lot of feels about Kai/Ray and Tyson/Kai

X-Files - I started out reading Mulder/Scully and ended up with Mulder/Krycek.

Gundam Wing. The site I found the series through (Shinigami.net, does anyone remember it at all? It was around 2000) loved 6x13, so I got heavily into that. (Also, 1x2 and 3x4, although thinking back to actual canon, I honestly can't see 1x2 working...)

Unfortunately, Gundam Wing was also responsible for my three-year 'het is ew' phase *sigh* I kind of feel like apologising to Relena...

Some mix of Buffy, Dragon Ball Z, and Harry Potter.

I probably started out with the popular ships like Goku/Vegeta and Harry/Draco, and once I got sick of all the fics being similar, moved onto the rarer pairs, and then the crackships.

Good times.
