Hello <333

I am in a happy, happy mood. I think it comes from being productive, like I actually did work today. As in homework and also I didn't quite fail that maths test I did last week, like I thought I would.

I can't believe my last post was the drunk one, I was going to post yesterday, but every time I do with no drabbles I feel guilty and so I don't. Which is silly. And my calendar looks sad with all the empty squares where there are days I haven't posted. I want it to be all full. And I never even get close to it.

OMG America on Friday! Yay!!!! I will have to take tons and tons of pics and spam you all when I get back. :D

Haven't had time to read any fic today, but colourme_hp has given me a lot of pretty art to look at and squee over. A totally awesome community, very busy and very pretty. So much love for the fanart!

I don't really read much fic anymore, I don't really know why. I have a huge list of things I want to read, the majority of those being novel lengths and I just haven't started. And when all of you post fic, I always mean to read it, bookmark it and then don't. I mean I do read some, but it is very random what I choose to read. And it is never something I'd planned on reading. What is wrong with me? Why do I not read fic? I don't know why I am saying this, but I think it's to do with my love for fanart, I love looking at it and I am contuinuously looking for new fanartists to friend and fangirl. Maybe because art is something I can quickly look at, as well as review and it doesn't take too long. I guess the time reason is laughable, considering how long I spend online, just reading/refreshing flist when I could be reading. I think it is because I have lost the habit. Whatever it is, I hope it changes. Soon. This probably applies when it comes to writing, but I won't go into that now.

In other, better news, Smallville ep was actually good. And Smallville fic is something I actually want to read. And I am not sure where to find it, sure I can find lots of fic. But I want to read a recent novel length dealing with all the Clark/Lex interactions from this season. I don't know if this exists and if it does, have no idea how to go about finding it. It is so much easier in HP, if I am looking for fic, I know exactly where to find it. I know all the classics etc. But am without a clue when it comes to Smallville, that's a fandom that can sure do with a newby community.

And I remember there is a community with starter packs for all sorts of fandoms, but can't remember its name. If anyone knows it, I will be very thankful.

Wow, and to think I started this not knowing what I was going to say. And look what happened. Stopping now, or I will be needing a lj-cut.

Well, I don't check FA's daily updates anymore as well, but this may be because I belong to the staff and know which fics are updated before the FA readers do. :)) After all, I'm one of the people who approve them. :))

LJ may be the reason, I agree. I still read much fanfiction, but I've lost track on what's new and worthy on ff.net, for example, because LJ offers enough H/D fics for me to pick from. I guess that I'm missing fics that way, but hey, even I can't be everywhere at the same time.

It's not a bad thing not to read that much fanfiction anymore. This way, you can concentrate on other important things.

Does approving fics mean that you have to read them all? You must get an awful lot of terrible fics!

Yes, that is true, LJ gives you a certain guaranteed quality too. Although most of the fics tend to be one shots, and that has also influenced my reading habits I think. One shots are good and all, but easily forgettable and there isn't a sequel to keep me reading. Thank god for Surrender The Grey.

I really should concentrate on important things, not failing all my exams for example, but I still waste all my time on the net, MSN is fully to blame for that though *g*

*hugs*
