Reading fics

[pez]

Looking at the PoT write meme, I realise there are so many fics written by friends that I have not yet read.

I FAIL. I always see them and then think I'll read when I get home, but by the time I do get home from work, I just want to spend the time to either write my own stuff, or play games =_= And of course, if I have ongoing stories, I tend to avoid reading altogether!

Should find a quiet day at work and print out stuff and read them on the train!

For now, it's just bad that I'm asking for comments but not actually contributing to the comments myself ~_~"""" I'm sorry. :(

[edit] How do you read fics? Always on the screen? Or do you prefer to print them out?

Because of time constraints these days, I prefer printing them out to read while I commute. So I've been thinking about offering word doc/PDF versions of my fics as I post them on word_games, to make it easier for anyone who wants to save a copy or print them out.

Is this a very silly idea? :D;

Word versions of your fics would be extremely welcome (I personally loathe pdf). My fic reading has slowed to almost nothing over the past year mainly because I just can't sit and read at a screen for lengths of time anymore (at least, not by the time I've caught up with LJ and done stuff of my own). I'd rather print and read.

I'm the type of person who will stare at the screen for so long my eyes will start watering and everything is sort of fuzzy but I'll still keep going because I have to finish reading this fic I found now! because lord knows it may not be there in a few hours when I come back and can actually see/is awake.

It never occurs to me to actually print them out. That and I think I'm too much of a cheapskate. It's quite sad.

But I still think offering a doc/pdf file would be pretty cool. I used to save fics to disk (back in the days of the diskettes) and read them later because I didn't have a lot of net access but had laptop access.

I know, I way need to read more fics. I'm just... so easily distracted. ;;;

*tends to read on the screen* Mostly 'cause, I don't think my comp's connected to the printer still. XD;
