I enjoy it more when the book celebrates fandom, and it’s usually about a fictional fan culture. These are cool to read because it speaks to the fan… Continue reading Books That Celebrate Fandom
We’re halfway through the year, which means we’re long overdue for a Fanfiction Reading Challenge Check-in. It’s been four months since I posted something for the check-in. I haven’t read any fanfiction in months, so I’m behind on my challenges.

We’re near the end of the month, and I realized that I hadn’t published the check-in post for February. I think that was because I didn’t know what to write because I haven’t read a single fanfic this month.

It’s no secret on this blog that I love Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy pairings (“Drarry,” for the uninitiated) in fanfiction. I found that Drarry was the pairing I read the most, by a large margin, in 2018.

In the process of creating a spreadsheet to track my reading challenges, I realized that this was an opportunity to figure out what my fanfic reading habits looked like. I was never as aware of my fanfic reading habits as my book reading habits beyond a few things I liked. As a heads up, this… Continue reading Reviewing My 2018 Fanfic Stats and Favorites

I started the Fanfiction Reading Challenge this year, and it’s been freeing for my fanfic reading and willingness to talk about fanfics. I think it’s a good challenge to have around, and I’m hoping to host this reading challenge again. But I think it can be improved a lot. Here is what I think needs… Continue reading Feedback on the Fanfiction Reading Challenge 2018
Every October, I love watching all of my favorite Halloween movies on Freeform and Disney. (In case you live under a rock, Freeform is doing 31 Nights of Halloween this year!)
