June Something Day 1

Day 1: What's changed about your fandom life in the last 365 days?

Hmmm. There have been some major life changes in the past year, unrelated to the pandemic, that have had a knock on effect on everything. It's given me more time for fandom, both reading and writing, but instead of focusing one one fic at a time I've had a hundred ideas at once and so I now have several long WIPs that I've been flitting between for the past 6 months.

I really need to knuckle down and get one of them finished.

On the plus side my reading rate has been just about the same. I'm up to page 207/639 of the AO3 McShep fics (in order from oldest to newest), so I'm on course to catch up to the new ones I've read since I discovered the fandom in...ooh, about 4 years? :D

I've also had a return to the Harry Potter fandom, despite my serious misgivings about the author, and I wrote my first Snape centric fic since I was in High School. It's a serious and emotional character study inspired by a crack fic my wife wrote. There's a good chance I'll try my hand at a Snupin fic in the future, but my OTP will always be John and Rodney.
