If you're on AIM, you should pop by the Brewski chatroom some night - it's called, predictably enough, carpebrewski (with the AIM buddy window, call up the window by Alt+C, put your username in the top field, and the chatroom name in the bottom field). I'm in there right now.
It's a fun community. Sure, everybody is like 20 years younger than me, but I'm recapturing my youth. It's what midlife crisis is about, LOL.
I AM reading the daycare-verse, I'm sort of abashed to say. Aren't we too old for this? ROFL. At this point in my fandom life I want fun and interesting, and so far erik/charles is catering to that. (I don't read some of the more angsty ones much because the style doesn't necessarily appeal so much anymore, but once in a while I do.)
I feel the same on the writing; it's really bad when you've been doing it for a living and start taking it for granted and treat it like a factory job or something. Because my dad HAD a factory job and he fucking hated it and warned me off of it (plus I've worked my share of fast food and similar jobs), so I feel like I ought to be grateful every day I don't have to earn money that way. I'm a bad feminist ...
