Round Table - Favorite Stories

[glennagirl.livejournal.com]

 I was drawn into the fandom thing after watching the MFU dvd set several years ago.  Several as in six, which amazes me because that seems like a really long time.  After watching the entire series in a marathon of late nights and less sleep than normal, I began the internet search for more about the world of MFU, totally unaware of something called fanfiction.  That, of course, was a revelation when I found it and so there were more late nights and early mornings where I found myself glued to the laptop, reading the further adventures of Napoleon Solo and Illya Kuryakin.
Some stories were immediately favorites, and like everyone else's favorites, have been re-read numerous times.  Some of them helped form my own story writing style while others remain untouchable to me for the sheer brilliance of bringing these characters to life for me.
So what are some of your favorites?  What story cemented your love of MFU and the genre of writing for which we all now share this devotion?
I'll start with one that I've read over and over, and it never gets old.

Would you believe I discovered fanfic in 1972? I was teaching at the time and confiscated a Star Trek zine that was being read under the desk. Thank heavens it didn't contain any slash as I would have had to have taken action and escalated the matter. As it was I returned the zine after I had read it.

After that I had no contact until I gained internet access and found the Blakes7 fandom. That has largely died out or moved on now, so I moved over here.

You are a pioneer. I wonder if that kid still reads fanfiction.
