hi, my name is shmiracles and i have a fanfic problem. i could say it’s a reading problem. but i also re-watch the movies and read comics.
seriously, it’s interfering with my work. and my life.
but mostly it is interfering with my tea logging! cuz i have been drinking tea so much tea, and i’m not making any notes! i have about 10 teas to make notes on. and i’m about to drink a few more!
it’s piling up.
but i enjoyed all the Teen Wolf teas my sister bought. they weren’t necessarily memorable. and most of them had too much rooibos or honeybush in them to gain my true enthusiasm. but they were tasty enough! i’d never turn a cup down.

I think I’m getting more and more of a fanfic problem but I am also crazy anal about organizing things and so I spend a lot of time worrying about how to organize all my fic instead of reading it. :| Right now I’m reading it on my kindle, phone and computer, but am TRYING to add all the ones I like into pinboard so I can find them later, and the ones that I absolutely love have to go into Calibre so I can add covers and make proper books of them and put them in a special place on my kindle. It’s complicated.
omg you are an organizing maniac! and it’s really obvious how important it is to you.
i also make sure every single fic i download is saved in calibre. i also ‘private bookmark’ every single thing i read on AO3 (whether i like it or not) so that i can avoid reading the same thing twice. ones i really like i add notes to also. but that’s basically the extent of my organizing hah
A maniac indeed! It really slows my fic consumption, but I’m still working out a system. :P At the end of the day I really only need to track the fics I absolutely adore, but it’s still nice to track the ones that I enjoyed and keep them around too.
Your system sounds like it works better than mine. It’s simpler!
And Pinboard is pretty great for helping me track everything, but then I started following random people and now I’m finding all sorts of random fic just from there. Best problems. :) My to-read list is getting big.

Cavo, I was doing that when Stanza worked on the iPhone, but now that it’s not being updated all my fics are… messy. :/
