Reading my own stuff
Apr. 21st, 2020 11:42 pmI have a slightly sheepish confession: lately, for comfort reading, I've been re-reading my own fanfic. That I wrote.
But I mean, why not? I wrote exactly the stories that I wanted to read, after all. And when the world is feeling rather scary and out of my control, it's soothing to retreat into a world where I am God, and everything happens because I will it.
Plus, I write a lot of hurt-comfort. Bad things happen, but then there are hugs. And that's what I want right now—the certainty of hugs at the end.
