Reading and writing for 2015
Time for this yearly roundup! I realized I only wrote ONE review this year...I should probably try harder about that next year. Also I read a lot more than this, but I don't actually add any stories that are under 10k, because they're just not long enough and the list would go on forever. Also I actually did try to not read anything by male authors this year. Which was pretty easy, actually; I primarily read women authors especially now that every book I've recently picked up by a male author has been enraging and hypocritical in various ways (ex: Brandon Sanderson, Pathrick Rothfuss, Neil Gaiman, I'm even sick of Michael Chabon and his "I'm so ~inclusive~ as a straight guy writing about minorities and LGBT people but they all DIE or are MISERABLE with horrible homophobic relationships" BS) and so the only things you see on here that are by men are either a) audiobooks or b) I was reading them last year and finished them this year.
Obviously, first are the things I updated and second are the things I read. Rating guide is at the bottom.

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; average; really not feeling it, probably not going to read it again, kind of forgettable and/or had one or two issues that overwhelmed it
2; starting to get so bad as to make me hate it, 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.
Obviously, first are the things I updated and second are the things I read. Rating guide is at the bottom.
