so, we've all got these walls of sorts - these little boxes that we draw around ourselves based on our age, our gender, our family life, our background, etc etc etc ad infinitum. some of us have bigger boxes than others. some are smaller. some are brightly colored. some aren't so much.
but we've all got them.
what are you talking about, kate? you ask...
i'm talking about comfort zones.
what you read, what you write, what you like... what you *THINK* you like.
i wanna know about a time when you said, "what the hale" and stepped outside your zone to try something new, be it reading, writing, whatever.
for example:
are you a ah'er and took a chance on an au?
are you a hardcore exb shipper who tried a different pairing?
did you take a chance on a little known fic when you usually only read the "big fics"?
did you give t-fic a shot?
how did it go? did it change your perceptions? did you kick yourself afterward and vow to never do it again?
i'll answer in the comments. :)
