Fic Of The Week - Week Three

[bk_forever]

It's Monday again already! Doesn't time fly?

So far I'm managing to keep to my reading schedule, so it's time to pick my Week Three Fic. Slightly more of a challenge this time, because although there are only six chapters (in eight parts) they are longer chapters. This time I've chosen a fic that most people will probably have already read, as it was posted around Christmas:

Jack And The Beanstalk, by iced_champagne (why won't the LJ user tab work?) Part One of which can be found here:

I didn't have time to read it when it was first posted, so I'm really looking forward to it now!

You. Will. Love. It.

I will. I AM! I'm three chapters in, but I have to stop for tonight, though I DON'T WANNA!!!!

I've got the rest of the week to read it, though I'm hoping to finish it in a couple more days, just because it's like one of those books you can't put down...

Got to get up earlier than usual tomorrow, so I can't stay up as late as usual tonight, I really need to get to bed before 2am - preferably by midnight, so no more reading tonight =(

I do not look forward to going back to work...because there is less time for reading fic! lol

I can't work because of health issues, but there is STILL not enough time for fic reading, so you have my sympathy!

I read as much as I can though, because some days it's all that keeps me sane!

I constantly troll the jackxianto community looking for fic, and make myself reading lists. I have a long one, at the moment, because there's some ff.net stuff on their too, and it's multi-chapter.

I also have 10+ WIP fics I read.

I think I must be reading at least that many WiPs at the moment, and my To Read list (and I'm not joking here) has over a thousand fics on it - one-shots, 2-parters, series... That's why I started my little fic reading challenge, in an effort to whittle the list of series down a bit. I try to read any new one-shots that catch my interest each day, plus trying to fit in as many older ones as I can as well as keeping up with the WiPs, but the completed series kept getting left, so I though if I could just read one a week, that's 52 in a year... There are just so many things I want to read, some of them from way back in 2006 even. I'm having to stick to shorter series though because some are REALLY long and I wouldn't be able to read them in a week. Nothing longer than 20 chapters, and even then, only if the chapters aren't massively long. I don't think I could manage more than 3 chapters a day and still fit in everything else I have to do (or read, lol!)
