Reading Observation
I've noticed lately that it has becoming more difficult for me to find fanfics that I'm interested in reading. It's most likely because I'm pretty slow to jump fullboard onto fandoms these days since I'm already so invested in several and those all have been around for awhile and don't have the same excited activity that new fandoms have where fic and other creations are made on a frequent basis.
The good news with this is that it only encourages me to write more to create stories I'm interested in, and the newer good part is now I'm starting to open back up to reading actual published fiction that isn't just Harry Potter or Star Wars themed (the only books I've read for fun these past few years).
I have the first few volumes of the Sword of Truth series that I'd like to get into now that Legend of the Seeker is gone, and I have the other volumes of the His Dark Materials series since the movie adaptations were stupidly stopped after Golden Compass. And that's not even mentioning the A Song of Ice and Fire series that I'd like to start before the HBO series starts up next year.
Basically, more time to read books and more time to write. Yay.
