I used to watch this on TV as Battle of the Planets! It came on everyday in the afternoon after school! The first con I ever went to back in '85, I bought a book of fan fic stories inspired by the show! It was my very first experince with fan fic and it was not on a computer but in a self bound book! I was very surprised that the further I read into the stories the naughtier they became!! Any ways that is how Gatchman got me hooked on fan fic!!!
