There's a good chance I may disppear from the Internet for a while - maybe a few days, maybe a week, maybe more than a week. Maybe drop in once a week, I don't know. All I do know is that I need to step back, take a break and indulge in other things for a while. I have an original fic that needs more of my attention, plus I just got SGA season four and it's been giving me all kinds of story ides :D. Also... I don't know, I just haven't been having as much fun with fanfic as I used to. Don't get me wrong - I still love writing it and will keep writing stories, and still enjoy reading good fic - it's just other things, things that are kind of hard to explain except to say that I'm taking way too seriously things that shouldn't be taken seriously. I get too easily frustrated and upset by small stuff and it has made my involvement in fanfic and fandom less enjoyable.
I want that enjoyment back, and I think taking a break then spending less time on the internet the way to make that happen. I'm a very focused and routine-oriented person. Once I focus on something, once it becomes part of my routine, it pretty much becomes my world in that it occupies most of my thoughts. Sometimes even all of my thoughts, like an obsession, and that's not a good thing.
My horizons have shrunk and they need to reexpand. The only reason I haven't done it sooner is because I'm caught up in several chapter fic that I want to finish reading. After that, if you on my flist write a yummy whump fic and I don't review, then you'll know why ;)
