Okay, a couple of years ago I would frequent several LJ comms for FFVII. Obsessively. It was how I spent my nights because goodness knows I didn't have the energy for any sort of social life after coming home from school. Or that's my excuse anyway. And hey, I was sort of immersing myself in a community of writers, right? That had to count as social interaction... if a bit passive.
Anyway! I cannot remember why I stopped visiting them. Perhaps because school/uni began consuming more of my time. Perhaps it was the travelling. Or the myriad of computer problems I've had to deal with, and the resulting loss of bookmarks again and again.
In any case, I've recently been hunting down the writers I used to look out for, and the good news is, I've found a few of my favourites and those stories I used to follow? Yeah, they're all finished and shiny and just WAITING FOR ME TO READ. <333 This also means I've got some fantastic titles to add to my Epic FF list, which is great, because I just knew I'd read some incredible fics but for the life of me couldn't remember where.
All on journals, apparently. LJ, IJ, Dreamwidth... I didn't discriminate. And neither did the writers, so 's all good.
I've just finished reading Mad World by etrix and am on that end-of-story-high.
Now to move onto an actual novel. Don't worry, Readathon, I haven't forgotten you. ...Often.
