"生命满希望,前路由我创。“ “苦海无边,回头是岸。” ”少年不努力,老大徒傷悲。“ “骄兵必败” ”良药苦口利于病,忠言逆耳利于行。“ “许多人对待机会,一如孩童在海滩那样:他们让小手握满了沙子,然后让沙粒掉下,一粒接一粒,直到全部落光。” I am one who sighs at the irretrievable loss of the past. Satus message: Guess what, FanFiction? Fuck you. We first met in 2004, when I came across Christine Morgan's Gargoyles fanfiction. I didn't even know what ff was at that point. nor did I know what Gargoyles was. I thought CM's stories were an original series. I read fervently, cutting into homework time, and rousing my mother's ire. But then, at the time, I'd thought that CM's was all there was. I thought, "All right. After I finish these stories, I'll be able to focus on my studies." But then in 2005/06, I decided to google "Gargoyles". I found the gargoyles saga project. An epic fanfiction project. At this point, I _still_ thought that that was all there was. I still didn't know what fanfiction was; I thought that tgs was all there was to it. I was _still_ under the impression that I would be able to concentrate on my studies after I finished tgs. Then along came Tina. She overheard me talking about Gargoyles with Aiden on the bus. "You read fanfiction too?" "Yeah," I responded, surprised that she also knew about tgs. Of course she didn't, but I didn't know that. "Oh. I like the Comic section the best." "Comic section?" "Oh you know; on fanfiction.net!" "Huh?" "Nevermind." That conversation changed my life. And not for the better. When I got home from school, I looked up fanfiction.net. "Whoa! So many things to read!" I was astonished and excited. Then began my gradual descent into the hell known as obsession. | |||||
