Chemistry exam was today.
The university's health center sent a pamphlet to all the on-campus students today. But I don't drink. So:
Do you or does someone you know:
1. Read slash or other fiction to forget about problems?
2. Read slash or other fiction to facilitate social interaction?
3. Have family members with slash or other reading problems?
4. Have conflicts with friends after reading slash or other fiction?
5. Ever feel guilty about reading or writing fiction, or your behavior while doing so?
6. Ever read slash or other fiction after making a conscious descision to stop?
7. Read until there is nothing left to read, or follow WiP series until the supply is exhausted?
8. Ever miss class or other responsibilites because of a new chapter or story?
9. Sometimes feel like your ficcing or book use is getting out of control?
10. Read slash or other fiction more than once a week?
11. Have other people ever criticized you for your slash or fiction activities, or been annoyed by it?
12. Did your tolerance increase since you first starting reading slash or other fiction?
13. Went you aren't reading, do you find yourself planning or preparing for your next chance to fic?
14. Have you given up any work, social, or recreational activities due to slash or other fiction reading?
15. Have you ever continued to read slash or other fiction even though you knew they were causing physical, psychological, or social deterioration?
An answer of yes to four or five of these questions may indicate that you, or someone you know, could be at risk for a slash or other fiction addiction. The local community offers programs and assistance for helping individuals with slash or other fiction problems.

(Anonymous) 2003-10-30 09:16 pm (UTC)(link)Fanfic, mudding... reading /. could fit that shit. Not to mention all of the things that normal, unaddicted people do in their everyday lives.
Bzzt. Campus health, you fail.

I like how you fail to mention the title of your post, in your post.
I will admit that it took me about a good 20 seconds to realize that that was you being creative, not the health center being oddly well-informed on the subject of fanfic.
Speaking of .. recommend a good site for x-files fic? *hides*
Re: I like how you fail to mention the title of your post, in your post.
I know nothing about x-files fic. Multifandom archives that have some: You could try http://www.fanfiction.net, of course, or http://www.adultfanfiction.net, and http://skyehawke.com is generally high quality though I haven't read any of their x-files stuff.
And having read that overview? I think I'll stick to a fandoms with less convoluted canon. Like, say, Dr. Who. Or Star Wars EU. :P

I put those things in the title hoping (usually in vain) that somebody will ask about them, you know.

*ahem* I just find it amusing that the educational establishment so eagerly promotes reading and writing as the key to a sucsessful life when it has been something of a crippling addiction to me since I was a child. *shrug* I did my 9th grade Health class drug abuse project on reading and Mrs. Whatsername gave me an A, because she could see I had a problem.

And yes, the university does assume that we're mostly drunks. We do very little to disabuse them of that notion, really.

. . . Why is your icon background no longer transparent?
Re: I like how you fail to mention the title of your post, in your post.
I'll check those out. Someone advertised for the Spooky awards (http://www.livejournal.com/community/xfiles/439027.html) in
I'll bring home some DVDs over Christmas and addict you, 'kay? What're your favorite kinds of monsters, aliens, psychic phenomena, and/or story genres? (; A few episodes, and the movie, have bees in them, too, and I *know* you like bees. (;
So, how *was* the chemistry test, then?

You do know there isn't actually a DVD player at our house, right? Well, there's the one on my computer, but I've never actually bothered to get the software and stuff to play movies on it.
