If you took a survey, I wonder how many people who enjoy ebooks read fanfiction, and how many people who look at you in horror and disgust and say, with some kind of weird ‘I’m better than you’ tone, “Oh no, I read real books”, don’t read fanfiction?

I wonder if there’s a correlation between fanfic reading and an acceptance and love of ebooks?

#fanfiction #ebooks #I used to be one of those 'I only read /real/ books' people #then I started reading fanfics on my laptop #(prior to that a friend printed them off chapter by chapter so I could read it on the walk to school and we could talk about it)#eventually I got a phone that I could read them on #and now any book of fiction I read is an ebook #which is a hell of a lot better for my bank account and my bookshelf space #and I've no idea why it didn't twig sooner for me considering I /hate/ reading used fiction books #I don't know why but they squick me out a bit #non-fiction is fine #I'll happily buy and trawl through used non-fiction books #but fiction?#nope nah not happening #it's gotta be new and completely unused #tis just another weird quirk of my brain I suppose
