two thousand and sixteen: fanfiction
Okay, so I'm going to try something new.
I've been terrible at reading actual books in the last few years, but I'm always reading fanfic. Like a ridiculous amount of it. So I thought I would try and keep a record of the fics I read in 2016, or at least the best ones, so I have some idea of how much I actually read in a year.
UPDATE: All attempts at keeping this in chronologial order have gone out the window. There's a chance I read too much fic.
