Years ago my academic pursuits killed my love of reading to the point I barley managed a book every 2-3 months. However, I found fanfic easy to digest because it involved worlds I already knew with characters I was already familiar with - I just found it an easier way to read when my professional life required me to read not exactly for fun. I mean, I loved and still love history but the act of HAVING to read for research purposes just sucked all the fun out of it.

But the year I got married I bought a Kindle as I knew I'd probably want to relax and read at some point on our Honeymoon. After I got back from that, suddenly I was reading a lot and quickly again.

I now read more original stuff than I do fanfic but both have their place in my life. I think a balance is good but at the same time understand there may be reasons why some people are heavy into fic. Idk.

And in general I find ending up reading something crap is easier with fic but I've fallen victim to that with original works a lot over the last couple of years thanks to Amazon First Reads. Having said that, with fic I'm more likely to require recs whereas with original I'm more willing to take the risk. Don't know if that's a good strategy or not!
