When I first discovered the fandom, I didn't have my own computer. I was only able to check it out while at work. At that job I had access to high speed printers so I printed out lots and lots of stories and brought them home to read as I would a paperback.
Once I got my own computer is was no longer necessary to print out the stories. I also no longer have access to those printers and wouldn't think of using up so much of my ink and paper to do so. I read online now.
But I did discover one extra problem with all those printed out stories. They sure did accumulate and take up a lot of space. It was only a couple of years ago that I finally threw out hundreds of printed stories.
I do have some pack rat tendencies.
