It's a very splendid mental image! Munchkin's picspams, and the comment insanity that spreads from them have been a hilarious inspiration to me for weeks.
Well, it could have been worse, you could have had two Ken's with Barbie or Sindy watching. My best friend and I started slashing madly at around age 14 in our imaginary Tolkien-verse (but I didn't know it was called slash for about another 30 years!). Naturally, I've caught up quickly since then.
You're right, LJ has been waiting for us all since childhood. The thing I sometimes wonder is what's different between those of us who do, and those who don't? You know, the dinner party, or pub conversation, when a chance remark comes out, someone, (normally the slightly incomprehending but tolerant spouse) drops you right in it by explaining what slash means and that you write it, and then the audience divides into two. Those with the slight ooh that's interesting grins, and the ones with the what the hell are you on about blank looks of incomprehension.
