Okay. So this was discussed many years ago somewhere in this forum, though for the life of me I can't find the thread, and in any case, we have different members now, so here we go again.

Basically, most of us here are either writers or readers of both fanfiction and original fiction, more broadly.

If, hypothetically, you were forced to choose between living the rest of your life without reading another book or poem or play, or never being able to write another creative word again, which would you choose?

For me ... it's tough, but it's writing all the way. If I could never read again I would cope somehow. If I could never write the stories and characters and ideas that come into my head, I'm fairly sure I'd have an epic meltdown.

What about you?
