New Kindle is named Metis, because when I find a naming schema I like, I will run it into the goddamn ground.

24 items into a Derek/Stiles list, because I am just so full of feelings and using other people's rec lists keeps biting me in the ass. There are about ten stories that I hate? But if I see a link I follow it, because I cannot remember I've read them, let alone that I hate them. It is a fandom with a lot of tropes, ok, and sometimes a new story feels familiar because tropes and sometimes a story feels familiar because it is the one you wanted to throw across the room.

But yes, new list, finally. I feel bad that I haven't posted one since fucking March? But getting a Kindle radically changed the way I interact with fandom at large and I was trying to keep reccing without adjusting that at all and it got horrible and frustrating and I just needed to not.

Thing the first: I fell in a Derek/Stiles hole and I can't get out.

Thing two: I'm on my kindle right now! c: Named Montarey because I, too, have a running theme (my first kindle was named Pepperjack). In re to fic, I bookmark it to my pinboard using my laptop (easier to look through tags) and then download them on the kindle. Reading on it is just so much easier and more enjoyable since I'm not stuck in one position all the time (kindle has ruined me for reading on a computer monitor).

It's interesting that you say that it's influenced the way you interact with fandom. I kind of feel the same way? I prefer using the laptop for tumblr and blogging, but I'm on the kindle so often, and I have it on me pretty much constantly, that I've found myself having to adapt. :/a

R-really? I thought it was just a rumour? (But what I really want is for them to become friends. I would keel over with joy.) That would be so exciting, though. I'm so curious as to how Davis would let that play out.

Oh maaaan, I remember during s1 it was so hard to find long fic, any fic at all really, and now it's like I have to beat them away with a stick. I have more bookmarked as private than ever.

Kindle #4? Agh. Is it a hardware problem or just (like me) bad luck with electronics?

But once I've read it on device, it's very hard to work back to the actual fic page to get a link/leave kudos.

I have that problem too! I don't have internet at my apt (my neighbor moved and took his unprotected wifi with him :c), so sometimes it feels like bookmarking everything is only a way to keep track of it so I don't forget it. But of course by the time I get to mooch internet off of my friends it's like I have to reread ALL THE THINGS to remember which was which and why I liked it.

I actually downloaded some e-readers for my computer to see if I'll have better luck keeping track of stuff. It's at times like this I wish I could code so I could write an app to fix this problem.

Omg my kindle is shit with organizing and indexing. I literally have to go through the files and rename them one by one after they've already been downloaded. So annoying.
