Have you ever been 'converted' to a pairing by a fanfic?
What fanfiction was it? (yay, rec)
In what circumstances did it happen? (were you already in the fandom, were you a newcommer to the fandom and that was the first fic that settled your taste, did the fic bring you into the fandom? etc.)
How did you find this fanfic? (big list of recs, personnal rec from a friend, a bit of a random event? etc.)
How much of a convert did you become (biggest OTP, one of your favourite ships, just one ship among others? etc.)
Do you still love this fanfic just as much, or did you tastes change once you were into the ship?
Has the opposite ever happened to you, has a fanfiction succeeded to repulse you from a pairing on a permanent basis (don't link to it! that could be considered wanky ^^ unless that was the objective of the fic, of course)

And it also explains why the conversion thing works (or rather, doesn't work) like it does for me: I always come into a fandom through the source, so I have my OTPs and I'm not likely to budge from that - the OTPs are the reason I'm even there.
