I am a 19 year old male who joined in December of 2012. I contribute Fan Fiction and anything else I can.
I wouldn't say I was persuaded per se. More like intrigued after being shown one of the .mov videos. I wasn't even forced to watch 'em. I was wondering what a friend was watching and then we ended up watching all of them (that were out) and then when he went home I thought "why not?" and started watching season 1.
