So, you see...
Aug. 1st, 2003 08:59 pmI 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?

Ya know, with Qui/Xan, you have that whole love you-hate you thing like with Harry/Draco....
This is true! It's one of the things I love about Xan pairings. The more I read, the less I like the vanilla stuff, I find. I also find it interesting that I'm not terribly fond of pairings with a big age difference in HP (Harry/Snape, Harry/Lucius, Harry/Sirius, etc), even though I like Qui/Obi. Is it because the HP universe is not in the GFFA?
