I must admit, I originally started reading your journal hoping for more infinitely depressing fic about James Sunderland - you had extra here (well, as in on LJ, I mean) due to fanfic100! Then I stayed as I enjoyed reading your impressions and having fun discussions!
I do understand! I don't always fic these days and when I've really enjoyed something or been fascinated by it, I go into a bit of a stupor and think of nothing else and very much go into my own little world. I seek fanfic, but as we know, what I'm interested in is often at odds with fandom so I don't tend to find reams of it these days. I don't have anybody IRL to tell about my impressions, and with the closure of forums and the rise of social media networks, this is largely the only place I come now to discuss anything fannish as while we don't share every fandom, we have very similar tastes and it's just nice to be able to enthuse over things. I miss being able to go and read through forum impressions because it all gets caught in live feeds and if you're not reading it at the time, it's gone.
Thank you for the luck! I'm at the traditional part of writing where you think it's the worst thing you have ever written, but that happens every time I write these days and I will come out of it, because I always do - worrying at the time though!
