Sorry for the spamming, but I'm feeling vocal

I keep having this weird epiphany. I'm writing tags at BL, very slowly, and I'm kind of okay with that right now (I'm sorry if the people I'm playing with aren't, but y'know). I'm watching Things With Jane Curtin in Them and I'm feeling, right at this moment, like I'm kind of over HP.

I'm kind of over HP. Maybe this is a temporary thing while I enjoy new and shiny, but I have been enjoying new and shiny a lot more now than I used to, and I'm kind of okay with that. It's strange to me that I would ever be okay with being kind of over HP, but I feel like that's the way I'm going.

It's kind of freeing, actually, to think wow, I don't have HP fic bunnies so I might be able to try writing some original stuff again. I'm less obsessed with RP so I can enjoy other things (because god knows doing lots of RP takes up so much time). And maybe being less actively fannish will mean I'll start seeking out more RL social interaction?

I don't know. It's kind of weird. I've been feeling kind of stuck in fandom but so desperately attached to it for quite a while, and it's kind of nice to be feeling okay about letting go a bit.

It feels like a good time to start making some changes in my life.

I recognize those feelings.

I say go for it, lady! Make the changes when it feels like a good time, not when you *have* to and it's extra hard.

I am in a much similar place. I think moving on is a nice thing. It certainly gives you plenty more time to enjoy things away from the computer.

I feel the same way - I haven't even tagged or written ANYTHING for more than half a year (well, except for some plot outlines). But instead of just moving away from HP, I find I'm moving away from everything. There are no fandoms out there that interest me particularly nowadays, there's just nothing I feel really in-to.

It's a bit unnerving, really. I feel like I'm in a total slump. I guess I need some kind of time-out from the internet or something. o.o;

I definitely relate to these feelings. It felt weird when I became "over" it. HP had become a big part of my life and it was sad yet liberating. It's brought me to so many amazing people and I could never be more grateful. However, if you were to write any future Rita fics (hehe) then I wouldn't go past it :)

PS, I still find it very odd we both kind of moved away from HP slightly and have been drawn to the amazingness of Jane Curtin! :D
