Exactly what it says in the title. I had some troubles writing in current fandom and after a couple of suggestions here I am not trying to write without reading anything.

Never realized how hard it was. Like, when I take break from my writing / editing for four days, what am I supposed to do? It's like I'm having withdrawals. But at the same time it does give room for my own thoughts about the characters to develop and not be completely influenced by what others are saying or writing.

I don't know what the point of this post was, I guess I just needed to vent. Writing this fic has been a serious emotional roller coaster. I haven't been this excited about a fic that I've written in years and I was thinking of publishing it even before I had finished writing it (usually I don't post anything and the only fics I've posted on AO3 are like from two years ago)....
