2018-Dec-17, Monday 09:35 pmSpending all day archiving valued tags also ended up with me seeing just how much more active I was when I first joined the fandom--sure, I was writing a lot, but I was also reading a lot, and I was much less passive about my reading too. There were buckos of fic recommendations, with little blurbs and thoughts about them, not so dissimilar from the way I write book reviews now. It's certainly made me consider if I want to get back into reading fanfic more often, and make more of an effort of rounding up new stuff in the particular ships I like.
Not to mention seeing the early stuff that so inspired me in the first place, the stuff that sucked me into the fandom on the whole. For all the tedium of spending 8 hours archiving tags was, never once did I regret what I was doing--seeing these little glimpses and bits of my old work, of the early fandom, of fanart and ideas and stuff that I never managed to pursue....
I'll have to think about it. I need something to post, both here and to pillowfort, and I certainly ain't gonna just magically be able to churn out fic super fast like I used to.
