Hi, guys. *waves* Just wanted your opinion on how to stop yourself from wasting your time on somewhat irrelevant things. I'm pretty sure that I just spent about an hour of scattered time discovering the Cassandra Claire debacle, reading in between other small tasks. Do you ever feel like these things, while fascinating, are really just your idiotic bits *wanting* to find stupidity so you can shake your head at it in an unproductive and unnecessary fashion? If yes, how do you keep yourself writing goodfic and not just tearing your hair out over the bad side of your fandoms and oohing over the shiny side? It's fun, but it has the flavor of work. Perhaps it's because I'm incredibly lazy in my free time, but I'm appalled at the amount of time I being a spectator rather than a productive reviewer and writer.

Ah, yeah, there are probably some people that are wondering why I didn't formally introduce myself. Hi. I've been around a bit before, but I've been off-board for a bit, that's all.

Virtual chocolate, anyone?

Oh, and I discovered Serenity/Firefly-verse lately. Like it a lot, generally. Maybe I should've put that in a different thread, but then again, I seem to recall strict admonitions on the subject of pushing stuff off the front page with too many threads.
