Re: So, when did YOU?

It's all Alex's fault.
There I was a couple of years ago surfing the net every night for 
new Buffy fan fiction sites. I followed a link to "A Slayer, A 
Hacker". I didn't even read what the site was about. I went straight 
to the "Stories listed by Author" page. I always start there if it 
is available on a site that way I don't jump into the middle of a 
series (I hate that). The first story on the site was "A Higher 
Power" by Alex. It was such a great story that I just had to see 
what else was on the site. I wasn't really looking for a particular 
relationship, but after reading every story on the site I was hooked 
by very talented group of writers.
