Big yeah on the first part of this secret. It started when I got brave enough to start writing in Trek fandom finally - TOS/AOS fandom is so huge that I was sure anything I wanted to write had already been written years ago and probably better, and if I went looking for fic about the things I like and thus wanted to write about, I might subconsciously steal things from other people's fic that is better than mine, etc... At one point I was writing a huge 100,000 word epic and it kept getting compared to another one that someone else had written recently with similar themes and I was freaking out about what if I really WAS subconsciously copying them? So nope. No reading anything else until I was done with that story. ...And maybe the sequel.

...Ten years later, I still have to kind of force myself to read things in even the one tiny fandom I'm still active in, even though there's barely any of it and never about the characters I write. But when it actually exists and I do make myself read it, my comments/kudos/enjoyment is absolutely genuine.
