I began reading fanfiction in year 10 so i was about 15. it allowed me to, keep my book habit and spending in check and because i only really got a chapter at a time when i was behaving it allowed me to also ratio my reading lol. back then i was a good little reader most of the time and would only read something rated M if it was suggested to me by a friend but now i find myself reading prodiminatly reading M and up as to weed out some of the pieces written by the not so good writers. i also mostly read thing above 60 thousand words and with over 500 reviews and so many other filters. i means that i do miss out on some really good pieces which is why i moved here. it's a little more comminity based. i write a little, rarely post and beta from time to time. My spelling sucks and i can't correct my own writing though for some reason i'm pretty good at correcting others work as long as the are in grade school... in my 20's school teacher focusing on arts and science but in my spare time i write scripts which when i put in the effort are turned into fics
