I do read fanfics and have used other site/apps to track the reading of fics, particular when they are long ones, usually for me that's anywhere between 500 to 1k kindle pages. But in the past I have only done this on sites that track your pages per year, which currently Page Bound does not.

I have seen some fanfics being tracked here, but it also look like the 'add a book' function is not really set up to add non-book options.

I want to get a read (ha) on other people's thoughts of using pagebound to track the reading of completed fanfics, and if it would be a little too uncouth to do it here, then I would not.

Just want to make sure I am being respectful to the site and other users.

Because of PB I keep thinking about the reasons why I enjoy Gothic literature and why it works for me, and I keep coming back to the terror vs. horror aspect. So much of Gothic lit is about the anticipation of something terrible happening, as opposed to it being shown in graphic detail on page all the time, which over time might desensitise the reader. If the horrors are constantly shown, I tend to go in the mode of "ah... this too, huh?". But with Gothic, for the most part it's all about what could happen. All the fear, the anxiety, the thrill of it. So often there's a lot of build-up before the showdown and to me this is so delicious. This makes Gothic lit way scarier for me than lots of traditionally scary horror stories.

Maybe I'm an outlier with this, so I'm curious, do y'all feel like this as well, or do do you lean the opposite way and like Gothic because you find it less scary? What makes Gothic lit work for you?

And additionally, do you feel the same way when it comes to other genres as well? My (bad?) analogy across the confines of genre is romance, where (at least for me) I'm the same way: Explicit scenes (or "spice" as many might call it) mostly get an "ah okay, you're doing that, huh" out of me, whereas a slow burn with lots of build-up will get much more of a reaction out of me.
