Spring cleaning

I just made a (very) late spring cleaning. If I removed you from my friendslist because I thought you might not care, but you do, let me know and I'll add you right back. I also removed A LOT of communities I haven't visited for years. It's unbelievable how many of them were left to die. Makes me feel kinda old.^^

I've been absent for a looooong time ... and everytime I open LJ it reminds me of the good old days that I loved reading fanfic and making icons and fanart in general so I stay away even longer which doesn't make it any better. :( It's sad, really.

I'm not as active as I used to be either. Still writing a lot and reading even more fanfics.^^ But I'm just only active at http://treknation.net and a bit on AO3, where I get my fanfic fix.^^ Love to snag the epubs there and read the stories offline. :)

It's funny, just the other day I read your DS9 story again. Loved it so much! ♥ Too bad you only wrote one DS9 story...

I've completely stopped reading fanfic. The last fandom I was active in was F1 slash and that has totally lost it's appeal to me. The whole sport has, really.

Seriously?? You've read it again? *blushes* Thank you so much! Yeah, well, I don't think I could still find enough inspiration to write another one. As a matter of fact, I can't find inspiration to write any fanfic at all. I remember when I was wondering how anyone could see the appeal in writing original fiction. Now it's the other way around. The only problem is that while with fanfic the plot usually just ... happens ... I can't seem to put my novel idea into words. It drives me nuts.

I think that I never wrote anything besides fanfics because I simply had no idea. Nothing original anyway. Nothing that's not out there already ...
Fanfics on the other hand are still great to write. :)
