I don't remember exactly how I discovered fanfic I think I just started writing it after being inspired by watching a ton of Buffy. I began writing fanfic back in the summer of 2002 (or thereabouts) and at that time I was part of a writing group, so I'd bring my stories to them and they'd critique my work. I then discovered ff.net about Oct/Nov 2003 (I think) and began reading a lot of Buffy fanfic. I wrote about 3 Buffy fanfics before I finally decided to sign up on ff.net in May 2004. I posted my latest (and last) Buffy fic "Sweet Melodies" at the site and was ecstatic when I received my first review a few days later. At that time, the first season of Tru Calling was also wrapping up so I decided to try my hand at some Tru Calling fanfic. I've been writing Tru Calling fic ever since and unfortunately have not gone back to writing for the Buffy fandom. Tru Calling is definitely my favorite fandom to write for (Tru/Jack stories especially), but I have branched out very recently having written a fanfic based on the Disney TV series Phil of the Future as well as for a short-lived CBS SciFi/Horror/Drama series called American Gothic. I LOVE writing fanfic and I plan on doing it for many years to come cuz I want to be a professional writer someday. I always tell my family and friends that I will be the next JK Rowling!
