General sort of questiony things. Answer some, none or all at will.

Was Red Dwarf your first fandom? If not, what was?

How'd you get into Red Dwarf? Was this comm your first RD comm?

How'd you get into slash? Was this comm your first slash comm?

Did you come here via the RDSS Yahoo Group, or alternatively join the RDSS Yahoo Group after hearing about it here?

What's your RD slash OTP?

What's your RD slash favourite rarepair?

If you write slash as well as reading it, how did you get started? Were you inspired by RD, or another fandom? If you were inspired by RD, did anyone here start you down the slashing path?

Bonus points if I was personally responsible for popping your slash cherry. YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.

Was Red Dwarf your first fandom? If not, what was?
As far as fandoms go, Red Dwarf for the longest time was the only closest thing to my heart. I didn't seem to notice that though until I'd be quoting the show along as it played, and my parents would stare at me until I left them to watch in peace. I've had a few games that have stuck fast since then, but RD's still my true love.

How'd you get into Red Dwarf? Was this comm your first RD comm?
I got into RD back when my parents got the first 4 VHS tapes of season one and two, about 10 years ago now. I then progressed onto the rest of the series and books one, two, three (a friend read this one to me) and lately four. This comm is my only RD comm.

How'd you get into slash? Was this comm your first slash comm?
Oddly enough, I believe it was in high school when my small group of friends passed around a borrowed series of Fake (yaoi manga). I didn't make the connection in RD until maybe a year later, when I was probably browsing around the internet for yaoi/slash stories.

Did you come here via the RDSS Yahoo Group, or alternatively join the RDSS Yahoo Group after hearing about it here?
Nope, I joined this community rather relatively late; back when LJ's search engine was still usable.

What's your favorite RD slash pairing?
Lister and Rimmer, of course. It's the obvious canon.

What's your RD slash favourite rarepair?
Rimmer with his double. (Lister sandwich optional)

If you write slash as well as reading it, how did you get started? Were you inspired by RD, or another fandom? If you were inspired by RD, did anyone here start you down the slashing path?
I don't write much of anything, but I'm fairly good at breeding plotbunnies and beta corrections/suggestions, and have offered for quite a few people. (and will offer for a few people more)
It's a hobby in itself, and since I get to read the stories and have a hand in their making, they feel a bit like my work as well.
