I can assure you, you were and are certainly not alone with that habit *G*.

but now, that we are in the electronic age, usally I have word docs named "clips" in my respective fandoms, and just simply cut&paste out my favorite parts of a certain fic, and have the filepath , where the actual saved fic file is located on my harddrive, below the excerpt :D

hmmm, but now you are making me wonder about my own fav novels from TNG...
