I found L&C through TNT reruns, and after a couple of months made a conscious decision to start looking for fanfic. I had previously been involved in other online fandoms, and so I knew that any stories out there would probably run the spectrum from pretty bad to absolutely wonderful.
On a SMK mailing list, there had been discussions of starting awards in the fandom, and someone mentioned that other fandoms were doing it - L&C, for one. So when I decided to truly immerse myself in the show, I went looking for info about the awards, and then, wanting to start off with a good strong story, I chose the most recent winner of the Kerth Overall.
It happened to be "For the Greater Good". Obviously a great way to start, and it remains one of my very favorites.
I started "A Shot in the Dark" the next week.
And I'm certainly glad you did, Sheila. I love that story...
