Challenge #5:
Talk about what has improved in your life thanks to fandom.

Where to even begin? I don't know if I can say in so many words exactly what fandom has improved in my life, but it definitely has. It's exposed me to so much more than I would've ever seen or experienced, having grown up a little sheltered. It allowed me to connect with all types of people that I may have gotten a chance to interact with otherwise and those interactions, big and small, brightened my life.

I also learned skills I wouldn't have thought to. Being in fandom and writing fanfic made me a better writer, thanks to practice, and I got to learn more graphic skills, which has made things more fun. It's also given me a sense of comfort, knowing that even if I can't always give it my all or have to back off for a while, it will still be there, even if it may look a little different than when I left it.

These are the kind of questions that always leave me blanking out so I will leave it short and simple by saying that I don't know exactly how it has improved my life. It just has. I'm grateful to still be around and have a chance to be apart of it.

yes I think there's an option to download in a Kindle-friendly version.

There's a fic I'm bracing myself to read because it's a Choose Your Own Adventure, and I know some of the options are sad/ violent so I can't bring myself to read it, although I want to compliment the author. I'll get there in the end 😅

Now that you mention it, I have heard people downloading fics to Kindle in the past. I just didn't remember.

Well, good luck! Those are pretty cool, but you don't have to pressure yourself to read all the options. That's why there are choices.

Good point about the choices. I know some of the paths are awful, but some are cute. Maybe I'll stick to the nice, cute ones 😅

That's a good idea! Fanfic is supposed to be fun and if you don't enjoy the darker themes, there's no need to force yourself. I'm sure the author isn't expecting everyone to read all of them anyway. :)

So what I did was quickly read the awful paths because I was curious, then rush to find the cute, nice paths where the characters end up in love and married 💞

It is a great story though, I left a lovely comment for the clever author, I hope they return some time to read it.

I get the temptation to just find out, even if you know you won't like it. Sounds like your plan worked out!

That's good you enjoyed it. And I am sure the author will appreciate the feedback.

It did work out, thanks. I just got a reply to a comment I wrote one year ago, so hopefully the Choose Your Own Adventure author will return soon too😊

Good! I know from experience what it is like to get backed up on replying to comments so hopefully they come back too. :)

Hopefully! 😊
