    Goodbye, Fimfiction!

    Well, anyone who read my previous blogs could probably see this coming, but... I have now drifted sufficiently far from the fandom that I no longer feel motivated to actually read new fics, and the old fics I stopped reading a while ago.
    Literally the only thing keeping me coming back here are the blogs of smart people, and people who lead interesting lives.

    Well then

    I've decided to give up reading incomplete fanfics. In fact, I'm not to sure about complete fanfics either. Still, if you want me to read something, finish it, and give me a shout. If you really want me to read something, make it an e-book before you call me.

    Screw it - I quit!

    You read that right. I won't be fanficcing anymore.
    For the past ... always, I have treated the authors and stories I have subscribed to as something of an obligation.
    I approached them with the same attitude I brought to normal books - 'I got this because I like it, so I _will_ finish it'.

    More Bookshelves

    So, those of you who have somehow managed to stumble upon my page my have noticed that the number of bookshelves I have is slowly multiplying.
    So, in my eternal quest to procrastinate, I have come to the decision that I may as well explain my shelving system.

    Bookshelves?

    Ooh, a new feature! What could it be? What could it be?

    ...

    Seriously?

    So, after that rubbish where they combine our 'tracking' and 'favourite' functions, as, apparently 'everyone' just uses favourite, they give us our tracking button back and have the nerve to call it an update?!
    No, damn it! Restoring the status quo _is not_ an 'update'!

Great, I'm reading TMZ. A TMZ with higher standards, written by the people it's talking about, and the occasional piece of literary analysis or socio-political commentary, but still functionally a similar endeavour.
This is not something I am happy to spend my time on.
So thanks, Fimfiction, for all the good times. I'll drop in now and then when I need the gossip, but until you manage to replace fanfiction.net like you mentioned you wanted to once, I'mma be heading off now.
