Pardon the moment of incoherence, but oh oh oh squee! Geordi/Leah is my Next Gen OTP, seriously! I've got a great huge lapful of fics about them in my journal, and I... really need to write a few more. Time, it elapses on me! Mew. Anyhow. Apparently theirs is quite the rare pairing, although it's not particularly easy to find Geordi/anyone fic, with the possible exception of Geordi/Data... and I just don't see the appeal there.

As for TNG, I got into it when I was... maybe twelve? Maybe eleven? I don't quite remember. It was in syndication by then, whatever the year was. Twelve odd years (and I do mean *odd* years, snirk) later, and I'm still happily in the fandom.
