12 Signs You Read Too Much Fanfiction
wikihow.com

1. You read it on your phone. All the time.

Reading on your computer? Ha. 2003 called.

2. Your eyes hurt from reading in bed late at night.

And your face. From dropping your phone.

3. You're worried the person next to you in class might be able to read your screen.

Dim that brightness setting and angle your phone.

4. Your phone dies too often.

5. Sometimes you forget that what happened in the fic isn't canon.

You mean Sirius and Lupin didn't steal Harry from the Durselys and raise him on their own...?

6. Fanfiction.net = your childhood.

And Ao3 = your adulthood. Ha hahah. Ha. *weeps in the corner of the room*

7. You have a system for fish out the good fanfiction.

What's on your checklist? Word count? Chapter count? Rating?

8. If you have a rare OTP, you're willing to read badly written fanfiction.

Anything. I'll take anything.

9. Your friends always happen to look at your screen at the worst possible moment.

I promise I don't only read raunchy stuff...maybe.

10. You can quickly read a novel-length fanfic, but reading an actual novel is just too much.

11. Sometimes you get into a fandom just because you see that they have a lot of fanfiction.

I've come for your fanfiction.

12. You have an author you're loyal to.

I trust you, all of your fics will be lit.


Read on, my fanfiction family. Enjoy yourself and know that you're not alone.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
