Further down the spiral

I was talking to someone at a party (tandia maybe?) and came to see the truth about the internet. I think goth_grrl is coming to realise it too. This truth is simple: We are all on the path to being internet fangirls. And I'm not talking looking up fan-sites every now and then, I mean several hours a day doing everything from reading critical analysis of furry web-comics to writing erotic stories about hobbits to moderating a thread vitriolically arguing about the nature of light.(*)

Sure, you might start just using the internet for email. Then all your friends get blogs so you start reading them. And you realise, heck, you might as well get an lj just to keep track and comment. Then you hear about an interesting forum and see cool meme you can post. Pretty soon you're writing fanfic. And from there things can only accelerate downwards.

My point? Well...I just wrote my first piece of fan-fiction. Harry Potter fan-fiction. Inspired by some Snape/Harry slash(**) I came across linked from the lj of a friend who got me to beta her Hikaru No Go slash.

And of course my first reaction is to write a blog post.

(*)I have done two of these things.
(**)I attempted to skip all the sex scenes but there were too many so I just skipped to the end. I didn't get it :) Not that I have huge issues with slash as such, I just can't help imagining such mental conversations(***). So why did I read it? Boredom.
(***)Only it's not quite right. Anyone got any suggested improvements on the dialogue? Huh?
