When I read nonfiction, I write a lot.
When I read fiction, I am reduced to a snail's pace... or to mad fits of editing.
I think this is because nonfiction gives me ideas, whereas fiction shows me ideas that someone else already did something nifty with. And that tends to make me go, "Oooh, cool," or "Dude, you need a better editor," instead of making me say, "Hey, y'know, I could do something with that..."
*sigh*
*wanders off to read some SG:A fic*

(Yes, all right, I have outlines and stuff for the next scene of "Apartment Manager" and I'm kinda-sorta itching to write it... but when I get, home, okay? A woman has a right to her gay sex, damnit!)
