I've also seen some fanfics written by I think Europeans that use dashes at the beginning of their dialogue.

Haven't that discussion been beaten to death at least once before? English language usage is single quotes then double quotes outside of North America where the common usage is double quotes then single quotes. Nothing special about either way and it doesn't take me more than a page or two to stop noticing them.
Take a look at the Wikipedia article about the various quotation marks around the world. Guillemets («...») are commonly found in European writing.
