I really need to stop this (given that I'm very close to having to resit year 13), but I spend most of my free time updating my fics and ff.net-stalking anyone who favourites me. Does anyone else do this? I just care more about my stories than any schoolwork set.
yes! and here was me thinking it was just me, but yeah, i'm in danger of failing my GCSE's if this keeps up
If I could write my English essays about my fandoms I wouldn't be in any trouble! I'm actually doing my media studies coursework on fanfic, so I can say I'm doing research if anyone asks!
Yes, like now for example. I should be revising but, alas, that is not the case:P people say I have a problem and an adiction, I say it isnt a problem if I enjoy it and I'm not addicted if I have the will power to tear myself away from the screen when I need to pee and get some more Ice cream.... XD
reading and writing ff take all my free time.
period.-
I'm in first year of Uni....I should really devote more time to doing that BEFORE I do FF stuff...But alas, I'm just not in the right mindset.
I blame summer, it got me out of work mode.
Engineering requires studying....but FF calls me.
I just can't get away!!!!
I spend far too much time reading fanfiction but I am slow on updating because I get terrible writers block. I'm always hurrying to get essays written two minutes before they are due in.
Yeah; surely. I almost had to retake my last years in college becaus eof it, and University isn't going to be better this year, I'm afraid...
Oh my God yes. It's really bad, and i should really be revising for my exam next week, but i know that i've going to spend my weekend trying to write and in the event of a (quite inevitable) failure i'll console myself with fic. It's depressing but true.
If my boss ever knew, I'd be in a heap of trouble for indulging in fanfic writing as opposed to working. For some reason I'm at my most imaginative at work.
While I do spend too much time on here, I try to make sure I get my school work done before I start writing or reading fanfiction.
uh... yep. good to know there's others out there like me! For example, I have a ton of homework at the moment I need to do... -_-

Yeah, so it's not just me then, I have some vital essays for Uni to write, but here I am...I should get back to it...
haha,yes! writing is one of my most favourite things to do,and pratice really does make you better.
Simply put, yes.
I used to sit at the back in French & just write fanfic in my excersise book and then rip it out at the end of the lesson. In fact, I used to do that in maths too. Sometimes I don't know how I never got caught.
No matter how much i tell myself i will do homework, i still end up writing. it's just so addictive when someone give you a good review... a then you want more and more...
Completely. In fact I have an essay to do right now but Harry Potter fan fiction is way better.
I do this ALLLL the time. I sit in critical thinking on a monday evening with a notebook in hand with my fics at the back of it and work at the front and I just switch over and make it look like I'm working (I do work, don't get me wrong, but I tend to finish much quicker than the time my lecturer gives us).
I have exactly same problem as you. All I do is update, write, and "stalk" fellow authors while sucking at school.
Yep, yep and yep.
Fanfiction rules my life. :D Not that I have a problem with that.
