Why do you read slash?

I know everybody's taken at least one survey about why they read slash, and tried to pin it down for themselves, probably as an ongoing question. Gender roles, relationship dynamics, on and on.

That's not what I want to know. I want to know, what got you hooked? Did a particular person pimp you in? What story made you say Yeah, this is what I want?

( My answers, if you're curious... )

So there you go. That's why I read slash. What about you?
