Reading and writing for 2014
I was definitely not as productive, in either reading or writing, as I'd like. I guess to be fair I'm still battling health issues. I'd love to get back to how I was doing in 2011 or 2012 where I was posting like 250,000 a year publicly (because I've always written way more per year than gets posted).
If the title of something I read is a link, then it goes to a review. If the genre is a link, then it goes to where you can read it (usually I just do that for fanfiction and free online novels).

This is kind of how my rating system works:
★ it's fanfiction, if I bothered to put it in this list, it's worth a read
5; pretty much perfect (I almost never rate anything this)
4.5; I'd definitely read it again, any problems with it were small/made up for by the good parts, super enjoyable
4; I'd possibly/likely read it again, it was entertaining and not too problematic, and I didn't feel like I was wasting my time.
3; really not feeling it, had to push to finish, not going to read it again unless really desperate and out of books, had some problems I couldn't overlook
2; starting to get so bad as to produce hatred or disgust from me, either from bad writing or problematic issues going on or loathsome characters, or it was just plain boring/uninspiring.
1; this book needs to die
.5-type ratings I couldn't decide, so I either decided to be nice by adding half a point or mean by dropping it half a point.
If the title of something I read is a link, then it goes to a review. If the genre is a link, then it goes to where you can read it (usually I just do that for fanfiction and free online novels).
