I have officially reached the 'meh' period where HP fanfic is concerned. So I guess that's not bad, considering I've been reading it for a solid 18 months now.

The 'meh' period can best be defined as: 'I will no longer finish everything I read regardless of how awful. I will wince at bad summaries and run away quickly, rather than allow hope to triumph over experience and believe that the story will be better than the summary. I will still slavishly read anything written by writers who I trust to know what they're doing, even in pairings I don't like, but other than that I will not scrape the bottom of the fic barrel in the hope there's... just... one... more... new... story'.

It could be worse, though. I could be torturing myself with half-written stories... lucky escape! :)

Snape's always been just about my favorite character, but I honestly didn't think that anyone would be writing him in slash. After these years in fandom, you think I would have known better than to think that there was anyone writers wouldn't slash....:)

*cough*

I've got about a dozen probably-will-never-be-written ideas lurking on the computer. But I have just as much fun scribbling down the ideas and plotting them out as I do writing the full-blown stories, so it's not really a bad thing, just a teeny bit embarassing to be so crappy at finishing.

It's not so bad if they're not tormenting you too much. Do you have a pairing of choice or are you easy? ;)
