Top Ten:You know you've been reading to much fan fic when..

[Missocki]

You're watching a movie, any movie, and you instantly think, this would be much better if it about Willow and Tara, and you then proceed to rewrite the whole thing!


You miss classes just to read fanfics, and when you do go to class, you start thinking back to the stories you just read....

You remember things that happened in stories as if they actually happened to you or you were there...

[Tank]

- you have an essay due in 5 hours, but can't help flicking over the DCP board for a 'break' every few minutes. And of course i'm not talking from personal experience.....right now..... blush

[spells42]

you've just finished reading a (loong) fic from beginning to end and realise it's 5a.m., when you decide it's not worth going to bed for two hours sleep and start to read another one.

*looks around furtively* I've actually been guilty of this a few times.

You’re listening to music and singing along and suddenly you have a thought: ‘Wouldn’t that be a great song track for that one scene in ?’

The top 25 most played songs on your iPod are all songs you downloaded because someone used them in a fanfic.

You check Pens every morning before leaving for work and save the updates to read on the commute.

You check Pens around noon and read the updates while having lunch.

You check Pens every afternoon before leaving for work and save the updates to read on the commute.

You check Pens every night and read the updates before going to bed.

You check Pens every night and read the updates instead of going to bed.

You buy an external hard drive just so you have somewhere to backup all those fanfics you’ve been saving in case your computer crashes.

While you’re working you keep an extra Word document open but minimized on your screen just in case you get an idea for a fic.

Every other clue in the crossword puzzle gives you a W/T moment.

You’ve gone to every website that comes up when you Google any combination of: Willow, Tara, Buffy, Fan, Fiction, Fanfic, smut (Whoops, how’d that get in there?)

You already read the update on Pens, but you read it again when Chris updates TTLG.

You have to stop yourself from ordering funny-shaped pancakes at IHOP.

You go into your friendly neighborhood lesbian-owned health food restaurant expecting to find Willow and Tara making googly eyes at each other, Anya behind the register counting money, Faith sitting on the counter popping her gum, and Buffy in the back cooking.

You get confused watching Hook because Willow and Tara are nowhere to be found in Never-Neverland.

You really really have to go to the bathroom but you hold it until you’ve finished re-reading all 34 pages of your favorite fanfic.

You decline an invitation to go out with friends because PROMISED to update tonight.

When placed in a difficult situation, your first thought is WWW/TD?

This is how I know:

I was rereading Moon by Emms, and I just noticed that tomorrow is October 11, which means is date that Cam is going to post Fire, which means that Fire is going to be posted on National Coming Out Day, which in turn implies a connection between fire and coming out, e.g. being a FLAMING homosexual, which ties back in nicely to Willow and Tara because Willow once brought Tara a candle that was extra flamey!

when you rewatch an episode of the show and are surprised that Buffy and Faith aren't together! That always happens to me, I mean...dang it!

...when you read all four pages of this thread and you nod along every post so much that your neck hurts.

[StarCat]

And when you keep coming back to this thread everyday to nod some more.
