You can't remember where you left your dragon.

You made the flight to Alpha Centauri last week.

You know that shimmer you see in the distance is the doorway to fey/ another world/ alternate earth.

...you feel that conversations with talking fauns are more realistic than the conversation you had the other day with a PhD student (ahem, any similarities to actual persons or situations is completely unintentional)

Re: You know you're addicted to fiction if...

when they ask for the name of your doctor you reply "Who" (note the intentional 'missing' punctuation"Seuss" would also be accepted.)

when the rest of the family gets out of the car at a rest stop you dont notice, nor when they get back in, nor when you arrive at the fantastical place you have driven three days to get to. You do notice when you run out of pages before you run out of story.

Your shelves are full of encyclopedias, resource and reference books... not one of them relating to the 'real' world.

Re: You know you're addicted to fiction if...

you get an accent when reading authors of other nationality then your own (or the accent of your favorite character)

you accept that santa and the easter bunny arent real, but punch out your friend when he says harry potter isnt.
