It's a bit odd, but reading fic about hockey players made me start watching a professional sport on a regular basis in 2012. Go figure. The list below starts with Team sections, then cross-team pairings, then gen, then the trope I call "NHL Ladies", then non-fic recs. 
LAST EDITED: 9/08/19, to remove broken links and fics that I no longer find readable and/or interesting.

The first year of college, my friends and I watched all the episodes within a few weeks. I was hooked, and ended up buying my own set. Since then ('03), my fandom interest slowly dropped, and plummeted after I saw the movie. I still re-read old stuff, and there's one or two WIPs that I keep up with, but otherwise we're quits.

I can blame this fandom on Ciceqi, as well. She turned to writing FMA after her stint with Saiyuki (or maybe that's reversed) and I followed. :D Only the 2003 anime, with manga!Ling as a fun addition; I can't keep track of the manga, and some of what goes on there seems a little too cracktastic even for me. Plus, I like the idea of the Alterworld.
EDIT: 8/15/16; I started reading a couple of new epic length fics and rekindled my interest. There's some more manga and 2nd anime based fics mixed in now.

Harry Potter was, no lie, my Big Name Fandom from 1999 to 2003. We parted ways after book 5, but I occasionally drift in via crossovers or specific authors. I particularly like the characters of pre-OOTP Harry, Snape & Draco (probably due to the 3-Year Summer and the fanon it created), Neville and Luna in any context, and Percy Weasley (whom I still feel was cut a raw deal). LAST EDIT: 8/23, to add some fics b

Harry Potter, or, How I Stopped Reading and Learned to Hate the Canon! )

Bleach caught my interest in, oh, either early 2006 or early 2007 - it feels like longer than a year, so let's go with '06. My interest waned as I saw just how far canon and fanon were diverging... and canon seems to have been spiraling downward for the several arcs after Hueco Mundo. This is the same problem that Naruto has - the canon loses the heart of the plot that made it so engaging.
LAST EDITED: 6/21/20; I still don't generally bother with anything canon later than the appearance of the Vizards, but the ships of Grimmjow/Ichigo and Ichigo/Urahara have grown on me.

Oh, the drama! *faints* )
