There's so much to read that I'm just bookmarking everything so I don't lose it. You know my friends, I've bookmarked sites for story research and RL needs for ages, but this is the first time it occurred to me to bookmark stuff to read later. Before, I just frantically searched all over for stories that I *knew* I wouldn't forget where to find because the idea was so cool or it sounded hot or whatnot...but now, Magic! No searching anymore!

Why am I sharing my fail with you? Because I love.
And yes, because I'm supposed to be working on story, and I'm just fucking around instead. :)

I've bookmarked a lot of stories but then forgot I did it, or when I go to read them I have no idea why I wanted to. Brain farts.

Hey, babe! I'm full of caffeine in the lobby at Toyota service, yes indeedy, ignoring CNN and on the 'net. How did we even live before the internet was invented, huh?

RIGHT? I have no idea what I'd be doing right now, probably hanging out on the porch and squinting evilly at the neighborhood kids. ;)

I constantly bookmark stories. But hardly find anything I'm excited about reading. Lately everything seems the same.

That werewolf fic I recced is great--different, and pretty epic! But I hear you about things starting to sound the same, I go through periods like that too. It's either time to step back a bit, or mix it up with other fandoms.

I hear that roxy has some interesting stories, too...*GGG*

Haha, that's awesome. On the other hand, I still have Big Bangs from 2010 in my bookmarks that I haven't managed to read yet. Speaking of fail.

And yes, because I'm supposed to be working on story, and I'm just fucking around instead.

Naturally. I have a tag just for that: "Things I post when I should be writing"

LOL! Aaaaaand, that's the other side of bookmarking--tons of fic that you'll get to 'someday'. :)

I need a should be writing tag, yes.

I bookmark fics, but sometimes, by the time I get around to them, I'm not in the mood for them anymore. Some fic links I save, some I delete once I read them. I tend to save my favorites, though, and I save favorite authors' masterpost pages.

I need to do that! I have writers I *love* and yet, I have to jump through hoops to get to their stuff because I have a brain like a sieve! I never remember names or titles.

What's a royal pain in the ass is when my computer messes up and I lose all my saved links. Sometimes, when fics are shared as pdfs, I save those too for reading later.

Hah! I always resort to bookmarking fics to read later when I have too many tabs open to read the labels anymore. But then I always forget so my to-read list is very very long. And hey, shouldn't you be writing?

You are so silly. :)
*pinches your cheeks*
*nonotthosecheeks*

I have dozens of tabs open and four folders in my bookmarks consisting of stuff to read. Plus the 'archive' folder (sites and 'verses) and the 'comms' folder and the 'recs' folder, for all those rec lists people keep putting up.

I'm going to be reading until i'm ninety and they JUST KEEP POSTING.
*flails*

I started doing the "bookmarking for later" thing a couple years ago when I was really busy for a week and a lot of stuff was posted... I still have stuff tucked away from back then, but I try to read from there when I have time, instead of just the most recent stuff.

I recommend organizing them into folders, and it's a big damn mess trying to find Star Trek or LFoDH or Batman or Torchwood or whatever the heck I'm in the mood for in the huge list. I regret not doing that from the start!

That's a great idea, especially now that I'm branching out a wee bit again, fandom-wise.

Lol! I totally understand, I only started bookmarking WIPs, to read, to archive, etc a few months ago. I think I was in denial at first, about how much fandom was going to EAT MY LIFE. XD

OMG, I KNOW!! I'm surprised that the Fam's never done an intervention on me...

Hey, it's great you're taking a break instead of slaving away on my stories!

*stares at you*

Hah, just kidding, I'm such a kidder!

Well, I'd tell you that I got sucked into Sherlock fandom and spent the week reading every longfic archived on AOE, if I didn't think you might kill me through the internet connection...

So, naturally, that's not what happened *at all*. I was, um, sick. Yes, very, very ill. Too ill to write. but not to read *shifty eyes*

You...you *cheated* on me? *grabs smelling salts*

I--I just don't know what to say. I'm just going to go with 'sick in bed' and wish you a speedy recovery.

*big quivery puppy-eyes you*
