I'm addicted to Harry Potter fan fiction!

Every moment I'm alone, I'm secretly reading the stories, the forums, the recommendations. I can't stop!

    addiction is addiction is addiction...

    But there are degrees. Everyone who reads Salon and posts letters (it occupies a significant piece of each day - and probably Salon is not the only internet reading and writing we-all do...what about Slate, the W.P., the NYT, various special-interest e-lists...) is indulging addiction to some extent. But when it occupies every spare moment (and moments that shouldn't be spare) and there is a perceived need to hide it, then that's *too much*. Solution? Ah, well that's for greater minds than mine... Getting A Life, perhaps, the LW already has one...perhaps too much of one, which is a problem. We all do need time for ourselves and our own indulgence, but it has to be balanced with (sigh) realism...
