I have no idea what the first L&C fic I read was. I'm certain it was from the Archive and I'm
almost certain that it was a 2002 Kerth Nominee, though possibly not. I discovered Folcdom, the ficlist and the Archive about a week before the voting closed for the 2002 Kerths. As a result I think I read about 95% of the nominated stories in that one week so that I could vote!
