Hopefully, No One Will Notice My Epic Readathon Fail Since There’s 300 Of Us (Update #1)

My idea was to read some comics and books. You know, get some of the books I’m looking forward to out of the way. Yep, I thought the readathon was going to be an excellent chance for me to catch up on some original fiction!

Er, but it kind of hasn’t worked out that way. I haven’t touched a book, but instead have been combing delicious for fanfic I’ve been meaning to read. Here is what I’ve read so far:

  • A Precise and Accurate History of Monday, Eleven Years Later. Seriously, I ship Aziraphale/Crowley so hard. (Good Omens)
  • The Dionaea House (original fiction, or maybe like House of Leaves fanfic?)
  • Switch, which is basically epic Kirk/McCoy that I’m not even sure I like yet, but it’s hard to find good Kirk/McCoy fic, anyway so I’ll take what I can get? Seriously, this is like two fantasy novels tied together, it’s so long. (Star Trek XI)
  • Transfigurations! I totally love this story, I read it a long time ago and re-read it today, and love Draco. (Harry Potter)
  • Written in the Stars I’m not sure how I feel about this one (which generally sums up all my feelings about fic that takes the totally ill-advised epilogue to Deathly Hallows and runs with it), but well! I kind of can’t resist father-bonding, fff. I have daddy issues. (Harry Potter)

Well. At least it’s only five in the afternoon, right? XD I could grab a book later…maybe.

Definitely not a fail. Sounds like you’ve had lots of fun reading and that is the aim of the Readathon, isn’t it?

Relax and enjoy the rest of the Readathon, no matter what you read.

Have fun!

Sorry, Renay, but that definitely does not qualify as a fail. Period. End of story.

You’re reading and you’re reading about characters from books – that’s readathon material right there.
