FanFiction is most definitely comfort food and I’ve found myself slipping back into the same habit as you. I know the characters, I know what I like, it’s easy, quick and free to access and I know I can mentally see and hear them with little effort. I use Goodreads and have roped my sister and brother in law to do the same as motivation and I’ve joined in the reading challenge again this year.
What do you like? Are there particular shows, universes or movies you’re reading fics of? Maybe we could suggest some similar authors for you to take the daunting feeling out of finding a new book to enjoy. For example, I love Rizzoli & Isles. I absolutely LOVE it when I find a multi chapter fic for that universe that’s well written and well plotted. From that, I learned that I would probably very much enjoy Patricia Cornwell’s Scarpetta series and have almost read all of them.
