Oh god, I was the same about Dragonriders of Pern. I think I actually cried after reading Dragonflight (I was thirteen or so) because I wanted so badly for it to be real. And then I wrote illicit fanfic for it. I care not about your silly rules, Anne McCaffrey!

Before that, though, I wanted to be an Animorph.

I think I wanted to be Menolly. All those firelizards! And you know, considering how much I like m/m stuff, I think it's funny that the fact that there were gay couples in the books escaped me for so long (let's just ignore the author's insanity about how she thinks it works).

I ended up in a Pern play-by-email RPG for like four years, though, so it sort of came true (though my characters didn't have entire fairs of fire lizards). Oddly, hatching in the RP were really quite exciting.

Yeah, they completely escaped me too for a long time, even though my slash fangirlism and my DRoP fangirlism definitely overlapped.

Oh, I did the PBeMs too. I was in about ten different ones and when I eventually had to drop out because I didn't have time anymore, I was so depressed. I still occasionally miss them a little, even if the quality of the RP was kind of patchy and I haven't really been into Dragonriders of Pern for a while now.

By the time Dragonseye/Red Star Rising came out, I had embraced the slash, so that book was, but it was like, going to reread Moreta and thinking "the bluerider's 'special friend' eh?"

I was only in one PBEM but towards the end I had like ten characters or something, one was a Weyrlingmaster which mean more work than fun, and I got worn out. I remember it fondly thought--it was Moonset Weyr, very well organized. I think after a while in that group I hadn't read the actual books in ages--my fandom was the concept, and the RP, and less the books.
