This weekend:

Thanks to my boss for a generous half-day off this weekend started on Friday. It's been a wonderfully relaxing weekend, filled with just the right blend of alone/people time, indoors/outdoors time and productive/lazy time

Jane Austen fanfic??? I mean, I know it exists, but WAHHHHH NOOOOOOO! I read plenty of X-Files fanfic back in the day, then swore I wouldn't read any Lord of the Rings stuff. A friend persuaded me to read 2 stories, which were actually quite good. However, I fear what writers will do to Jane's beautiful works. Then again, some pretty bad Austen sequels and spin-offs have been published, so I guess I can't argue against fanfic.

Haha! Don't start reading it, that way you will never get hooked on inferior fiction. It's kind of like a drug! Like nasty street dealt stuff that will give me weird and unexpected side effects.
I started back in high school - one of my friends passed on a sequel to Pride and Prejudice that her sister's friend had written. The author couldn't have been older than 15 at the time! She is still a prolific writer on one of the main Austen fan fic sites I'm still reading her stories all these years later! Oh, my shame!
But, as my dear friend reminds me, at least we aren't paying for it! I refuse on principle to read any crappy writing that costs money.

That truly does sound like a beautiful weekend! And, you're right; it is that perfect mix of calming and happy things, which makes it even better. :D
