I have a problem with longfics in which I will dive headfirst into them and read so fucking quickly, but then I’ll lose motivation 3/4ths of the way through (and it’s very very rarely a fault of the writing itself, I’ve experienced this with more longfics than I can count) and switch to something else and then never come back to the original one and it’s so sad 😞

And if I do end up coming back, I have another problem where I can’t pick up a fic right where I left off unless I remember it really really well. I HAVE to reread the whole thing… and then I end up quitting right around the same place I quit before anyways

#I want to read them I do #but my brain loses all interest #I’ve got 3 separate longfics sitting in my google tabs rn and I can already tell I’m starting to drop a 4th one I’m reading #they’re SO good but my brain just CANT DO IT #I think it’s related to gifted kid burnout tbh because I would do this with books too when I was in school #hell I still do it with books #I quit reading Songbirds and Snakes because I got to act 3 and just… couldn’t do it #my brain lost all interest once the actual hunger games part had concluded #everyone in my family who’s read it keeps telling me I should read the rest but I just cant #the very idea of reading it bores the fuck outta me
