*Reads article...

Redecorate? Yes!
Downsize? Never!
Buy more shelves? Meh, if it helps.
"Been wickedly bored…" What! Don't you have a neglected fanfic in need of updating?

Anyway, yeah... My own collection's been in progress ever since the start of 2010. The left side of my double shelving cabinet's complete, if I get some pics later tonight I'll send to you and Steve so you can see that Muppet Backstage crammed with representatives from all ten series with a few special guest stars. Have to work on the right side dunno when that'll be ready though.

Thanks for this new opportunity Prawnman. Now hop to those duties you have that must be done... Baseball games that must be played and songs that must be sung. Or something like that. :stick_out_tongue:

Well... if I had more than three people commenting on it, I'd be more inclined to work on it. :halo:

Aye... Remember the glory days? Ah, the summer of '05, when every fic was read and greeted with rave reviews that inevitably gave the writer more confidence, which of course made them eager to post more. Why, I remember a time when I couldn't stand to go so much as one day without posting a chapter, and then I would hit "refresh" ten times a minute to see if anyone had replied and stalk my readers to see what they were doing that they hadn't read my story yet... Back then, it wasn't unheard of for chapters to get multiple detailed reviews. Nowadays, writers are lucky to see just one or two posts of "More please!" Hardly encouraging. And then readers wonder why we don't post...

Oh, but it's alright. We all have "lives" now, so I suppose it's not such a priority to encourage each other in our creativity...

Erm... Sorry? *Sits back down in Fozzie-ish manner hoping people will reply/read/review so the fics can get finished.

*Waits also for tomorrow's WMW article. :halo:

I remember that summer...sighs...

For me it's mostly a lack of time to both write but also to read and support the stories from the authors I love. And I hate that. Being an adult sucks sometimes guys!

Ah, the summer of '05... I was so young and my writing was so bad. :stick_out_tongue:

Growing up is indeed a hindrance upon our souls. But I do love it when good friends find time to pop in and read. It makes my day. :big_grin:
