Deep Thoughts
I got a late start on the fanfic reading tonight and honestly, my heart really wasn't in it. It never ceases to amaze me how much my personal life can interfere with my fandom life. I've always prided myself on keeping things in my life very compartmentalized. There is family!Kelly, fandom!Kelly, work!Kelly, friend!Kelly, responsibleadult!Kelly, carefree!Kelly. Usually I can make sure that things don't bleed into each other.
But when you have illness in your real life or something else going on, it can really put a damper on your fandom life. As soon as someone says to me that they aren't enjoying fandom or fandom activities anymore, my first thought is always that they are probably suffering from some kind of depressing. I know, weird leap to make but fandom is a hobby and when someone isn't interested in their hobbies anymore, well depression is usually the cause.
Not that I'm depressed, cause I'm not. It's just one of those things were yesterday was a when it rains, it pours kind of a day. So my desire to read fanfic, while still there, it was hard for me to get lost in the world of Cordelia/Angel. Which is a shame cause the world of Cordelia/Angel never fails to bring a smile to my face. :)
