It's rolling up on 7 years since I posted my first story and I just went and culled my membership of a wide variety of mailing lists - this is the first time I've been on less than 40 lists in longer than I care to think about, and a large number of those are notification lists. Maybe I'm just bored with getting spammed on a number of them by pointless self-promotion posts from the same people, or maybe fandom really is shifting over to other ways of doing things.

I wouldn't like to think how much fic I've read in the time since I've been online, let alone how much prevaricating I've done to avoid writing stuff (or indeed how many thousands of words I've turned out despite the prevarication). From that first step, driven by 'jeez, even I could do better than that!' (which I'm not sure was completely accurate back then, but I hope is more accurate now), I couldn't have imagined how far I'd travel with fandom. Literally, in some cases. I've been incredibly lucky with the good folks I've met, some of whom will be reading this, and to have the chance to see what talented folks are out there and just how creative they can be...

So, what's set for the next 7 years? Well, I'm not planning to go anywhere. I'm also not anticipating changing fandoms any time soon, unless something unexpected comes along and sideswipes me. I'm happily reading as much good HP slash as I can get my hands on, while I try and get rid of some of the story ideas that have been hanging around for literally years. And then there's the matter of a couple of half-developed original fic ideas that I'd like to get done as well, prevarication permitting. ;)
