Everyone who does this says their story is boring, but I actually love reading them!
We were probably about a hair's breadth away from meeting in VOY, since we were reading in a lot of the same places. I came at it from a bit of a different angle, since I was initially a Paris fan, and was reading tons of Paris/Kim and Paris slash rarepairs. But I'm a sucker for the older woman/younger man dynamic too, so when I realized Janeway/Paris was a thing, I was all for that! From there I discovered and fell hard for Janeway/Seven, which I guess was the first time I was really into a femslash pairing. (My other primary fandom at the time was X-Files, which was always rather light on femslash due to the paucity of female characters.)
I wish I had written in the fandom when it was all fresh in my mind. Well, I wrote a little, but didn't post, just read and reviewed. There's still a small fandom for it (it gets written and read avidly in multifandom fests and pan-series Trek fests) but I don't think I remember canon well enough anymore, and there's too much to do a rewatch. Though, on the other hand, I'm not sure I watched all the way to the end of the series in the first place anyway... I was always more of a fan of the fic than the show!
