Subject: I still love the H&M fanfiction - just no time to write any more these last few years. From the Treasure Seekers posts I sometimes am reminded of old favorites to reread or even one I'd never read. I've read a few Castle and Bones by favorite JAG FF writers - LizD for example, but I've no real interest in any FF except H&M.

[> Well, I use to spend so much time reading fanfic, but I just don't seem to have the time anymore. I don't know what happened. I watch more TV shows than I used to, and now I'm on Facebook, so maybe that's the problem. I don't think I've read anything in the past couple of years. Inside -- JAG Junkie (Ronda), 13:41:16 11/18/11 Fri [1]

I've read a ton of JAG fanfic, although there is so much out there that I'm sure there are plenty of good stories that I never read. I hit most of the "big" authors, though.

The majority of the fanfic I have read has been JAG, although I did spend a long period reading lots of Scarecrow and Mrs King fanfic. I also read a little bit of Remington Steele and Lois & Clark. I remember discovering lots of fanfic about "The Nanny", and intending to read some of it one day, and never getting around to it. If I had more time now I'm sure I would read fanfic about Chuck, Bones, and especially Castle. Sigh. Maybe one day I'll figure out a way to squeeze fanfic back in my schedule.

As for writing, I haven't done that in years. No time and no inspiration. A few years ago, I did have a lot of good ideas for expanding and enhancing one of my longer stories, and I even started working on the rewrite, but then life got in the way and I put it aside and never got back to it. Unfortunately, I've forgotten some of the great dialogue I had come up with. I should have scribbled it down when it came to me, but inspiration never seemed to strike when it was convenient to jot something down. :-(

I'm sure I'm missing some great stories by some of our great writers who are still writing. I just need more hours in my day! Sigh.

[> [> I just thought of another reason I have no spare time anymore. I discovered Netflix and a whole world of wonderful old movies that I had either forgotten or never seen to begin with. THAT is my biggest time user. Instead of reading about Harm and Mac, I've been watching Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, and Cary Grant. -- JJ (Ronda)--one day I'll run out of old movies to watch, so maybe then I can get back to fanfic., 13:57:05 11/18/11 Fri [1]

[> [> I'm glad I'm not the only one with less time on my hands AND never in a place to write things down when inspiration hits! Now that you've told me about Netflix (not a member) I might have even less time. -- usmgrad, 15:17:47 11/18/11 Fri [1]

FYI--If you want to see old movies with Netflix, you're better off doing DVDs by mail rather than streaming. MUCH bigger selection that way. Out of the 100 or so movies that are currently in my queue, only about 25 are available to be streamed. That's why I dropped streaming altogether and saved $2.00 per month.
