Fandom habits

snaples says it all. I'm at work. My xerox pad is faulty (how often do you get to say a line like that?),and I have to rewrite a page of money orders. Long, tedious job.
David, sorry, Bernice, made some interesing points in her journal, about what she will and won't read. I started out reading fanfic originally in the X-files fandom, and I just read anything, absorbed everything, good, bad or bowel-slackeningly awful. It was wonderfully absorbing.
That phase lasted for a suprisingly long time, looking back, months and months. The same thing happenened when I began read HP fic, just trawled though all the pairings I liked, finishing things even though I didn't particularly enjoy them. It's a way of giving yourself an overview of the fandom, I suppose. At the moment I'm not reading very much fic, and what I do read is either at the ffest or archived. This is partly due to me being distracted by other fandoms (eroica) and going through the absorption process there, and partly due to me not reading many fics on mailing lists anymore.
I've lost touch with what's happening on the lists, as I haven't really enjoyed much fic I've read there for quite a while, so don't bother reading much new stuff. There seems to be a dearth of good fic in the pairings I like, SB/RL the most. (I think that if I read another 'puppy love' story my head will explode). Snapeslash seem to be mostly HP/SS now, but that pairing's not something I want to read every day.
Ailment news
Marion has just manipulated a nerve in my back, and the pain has gone, or nearly gone. Halle-fucking-lujah! I can move my neck, I don't look like a monitor lizard anymore! My sebaceous cyst has produced yet more goo, and is going down even more; it's now the size of half a pea, rather than a whole pea.
