I hit that point about six months ago, I guess. I'm always kind of sad when the honeymoon's over. There's a wonderful frenzy in those first heady days of a fandom, when it's all so new and shiny that even five stories in a row where Harry has to spend the summer at Snape's house don't matter. When the nickname "Sevvy" only makes me shudder instead making me want to claw my eyes out. When Lupin/Black stories don't seem hopelessly sweet and sugary....oh, wait, but that never happened....
It could be worse, though. I could be torturing myself with half-written stories
Do you mean ones you've not read or ones you've not written? I got sucked into reading, well, a lot of WIPs myself, but I can't think of any I'm still actively keeping up with. If a new part of one I was reading falls in my lap, fine, but I've quit checking almost all of them for new bits.
The only places I really check regularly anymore are Ink Stained Fingers, the SSFF, and occasionally I'll take a spin around the Snape Slash Fleet. But, alas, the honeymoon is over. *snif*
