I first started reading fanfictions back in 2006 when I first got into Anime. I started out reading fanfictions for two of my favorite animes at the time which were Inuyasha and Card Captor Sakura. Since then I still have only really read Inuyasha fanfictions ( Inuyasha/Kagome ) and every now and then Card Captor Sakura, I also have read a handful of other stories from other series when I happen to be watching that series at the time and am unhappy with the ending or just want more. I tend to take breaks from reading when my life gets busy but I always come back ready for more and obsessively look for stories I have not read and fit my preferences. It upsets me but over the years I have found fewer stories that fit my need. Don't get me wrong stories are still beautifully written but less people seem to be writing, and taking longer breaks, and shorter stories. I like my stories to be 100,000 words plus the more the better, rated M or on mediaminer X, Inuyasha/Kagome, English, Romance, and not taking 3 years for a chapter to be released...(which i am now guilty of doing myself..wow im judgy haha ) I also like my characters for the most part to stay with their personality I do love a story that is set in a AU but they should still seem like the same characters I came to love.
