So, you see...

I was on amazon.com tonight, and in the "Your recommendations" section, there were a variety of things listed, each of which was either Star Wars, Harry Potter, or Queer as Folk. I mentioned this to my husband, and he laughed, noting that this pretty much summed up my interests these days.

This is my problem, you know. For most of my life, I have been absolutely obsessed with Star Wars. Then I started reading and writing slash, and life got even better. I had put off reading the Harry Potter books quite on purpose, completely aware that once I started, I wouldn't be able to stop. I just have that sort of OC personality, you know? I was scared, and I knew there was lots of great HP slash out there, so it was with a weird mix of trepidation and excitement that I took all five books on vacation with me this summer.

Oh. My. God.

I am now the biggest Harry/Draco shipper... It is all I can do not to start writing H/D stuff. But the new QAJ season is on the horizon! How am I going to get my head back together in time? jedirita has offered to slap me silly, and I may take her up on that. How do I balance two fandoms? Considering that I work full time?

Advice? Please?

hmmmm. two fandoms work fine. I'm also in the Star Wars and in the Harry Potter fandom. More than 2 constitute a problem. I can't give you advice on how to balance them, but I promise that you'll get really picky in what you read and what you don't read. Also, you'll never have enough time to write all that plotbunnies (but that's the problem of every fic-author, I believe).

More than two would make me insane, I think. I have no idea how people do that and have a life too!

Being picky is good advice, I think. I've just been doing a lot of reading in HP lately, just to see what's out there. When QAJ was in full swing, I did almost no reading at all, because there just wasn't time. I'm hoping I'll be able to compromise a bit next season!

So, where's your HP stuff posted, then? *grin*

on the azkaban lair and on my website Nutters Inc. (http://www.nuttersinc.de.vu).

If you go the into the insane section (fanfiction), you just need to follow the pawprints :-) I write Sirius/Remus.

Oh, yeah -- that is absolutely what happened to me. Star Wars and RPS, now, and pickiness and not-enough-time are absolutely issues. So far I haven't been tested on whether I can really handle both at once, but I suspect when QAJ starts coming back, I'm going to be cutting back on some of my RPS time.
