Haha, that's awesome. I was going to ask if it might have started with the Due South fandom. That was my first fandom, and I know how much shacks in the middle of nowhere factored into their curtain-fic stories... or really any stories set in Canada, because most people know that 95% of Canada is "the middle of nowhere"... especially the part of the country Fraser comes from.

But it's hilarious that the Canadian shack leaked over to other fandoms. That's awesome.
