I found the Vlogbrothers through the Harry Potter fandom, though not from watching Hank's Accio Deathly Hallows video like most people. Way back in May/June-ish of 2009 I was getting back into Harry Potter and was reading the Half-blood Prince for the first time, in time for the new movie coming out. It was then by accident I discovered wizard rock, which I really loved and then spent most of my time on youtube watching videos of wrock concerts and discovering other wizard rockers. It was because of this I found Kristina Horner (italktosnakes) of The Parselmouths had a youtube account and vlogged and through her I found other vloggers like charlieissocoollike and nerimon, all of these people mentioned the Vlogbrothers in at least one of their videos and I was just like, "Who are these brothers that everyone is talking about?"
It took me until September of 2009 to even look at the Vlogbrothers channel and I only did because there was a link on someone else's (I don't remember who though). Upon entering their channel for the first time the first video I saw was by hank called 13 severed hands! about the 13 severed hands of Starwars. Despite the fact I'm not really into Starwars I watched the video and enjoyed it and began watching the rest and subscribed. And although I've been subscribed to the Vlogbrothers for so long I still have not seen every single video but I plan on doing that soon.
And that is my story of how I found Nerdfighteria, I leave you with the video that introduced me to it.
