I'm about to hit my thirties and I'd say I'm mostly a 50/50 split between non-fiction and fanfic. Although i can go through binges when a friend of mine recs me lots of non-fic and science papers that she's came across whilst working. She's a gem.

I was an avid book reader in my childhood. My pillow has so many books tucked under it that i used to shuffle lower on the bed to sleep. Baffled my mother but she never managed to stop me doing it.

In my mid to late teens, i started heavily branching out into fanfic.

When i was in my last year of school, depression and a string of awful events happened to my family in the space of a year. Back to back. Just endless bad news.
A fic community i was in showed me incredible kindness. They convinced me to make my first GP appointment, they kept me calm whilst i was on a therapy waiting list for 8 months. I'm not being dramatic when i say that they saved my life.

If my 16 year old self had came across this secret and read some of the thoughtless responses underneath it, i would have been crushed. Because i was in a headspace where i honestly would have taken your comments as meaningful.

It's honestly upsetting that people can belittle others on something as harmless as a reading choice. And to question their intelligence and call them losers?

Be kinder.

I'm so happy that the fic community was there for you anon, and I hope your life is happier now for you and your family. :

That's really kind of you to say, thank you.

We've had a lot of changes but i can safely say that we've all been doing well.
