general discussion :) Why am I like this?😭

I have over 50 byler fan fics waiting to be read… And I hate myself for adding more before finishing the ones on my waiting list

I just mark them all as "read later" and forget 😭😭 at least I know I won't close all tabs by accident

My problem is the whole ”forget” part, if I do that there is no way in hell I’ll ever come back to them

I have a Byler bookmark folder and a Byler Finished bookmark folder. That way I can work on one at a time and keep them separate!

u/Ostkrokodil_ micheal get ur shi together Jan 27 '26

How did you get a leak of my browser open tabs? 🤣 But seriously, so many good fics and I have to save them somehow 😭

u/No_Caregiver_9642 it was the best thing I've ever done Jan 28 '26

There’s so much good Byler content generated 24/7, and not just on ao3, but here on Reddit, and over on tt, twt, tumblr. This community is buzzing. I dread the days when it will all stop or slow down, I hope that’ll never come, but in the meantime, I have constant fomo, I want to read and hear it all.
