I probably shipped other shows and movies without realising what I was doing when I was younger, but the first one that absolutely consumed me (and started my journey into the world of internet fandom) was Lois and Clark - in their New Adventures of Superman incarnation. I was 11 years old when the show premiered, very impressionable, and within about 5 minutes of watching the pilot I was head over heels in love with the pair of them. Strong independent career woman who sucks in the relationship department, literally swept off her feet by a superhero into an epic romance, and....well those are pretty much my ingredients of a perfect show! Chemistry just blazed off the pair of them, but they drew out the courtship (and the Superman reveal) just long enough to get you good and desperate without feeling like it had been dragged out for too long. I remember watching the season 2 finale where she figures out he's Superman right after Clark proposes - which is just where they left it for the longest summer of my life - and going into an absolute frenzy. I think this was probably the point where I got into the online fandom - I never understand or engaged with those IRC groups that were big at the time, but there was a messageboard called Zoomway that I lived on for three years. It was the first time I'd come across the concept of fanfic, and boy did I go down the rabbithole with that!
I'm going to stop there, because I have a feeling they may be my answer for some other questions and I need something else to say at a later stage, but I leave you with this:
C'mon now. How so sexy?!
