Apr. 1st, 2021 05:26 pmThis post is brought to you by the (possibly-probably unfounded) rumours that Fanfiction.Net might go down the gurgler and suggestions one should rescue any fics they're concerned about, and by
rionaleonhart's brave deep dive into sharing and annotating their oldest work of fanfiction, which has been very entertaining and honestly adorable to read.
Unfortunately I cannot claim to be so brave. I wish I could look with kind eyes upon my oldest available fan works, but the psychological evisceration is proving enough that I keep getting up and walking away from the computer screen! She was a young teenager and she was having fun and she does not deserve to be cringed at; but she was also needy and flawed and me. It's somehow a lot.
(Looking forward to coming back to these posts in another fifteen years and sighing.)
I've nonetheless managed to read a few fics, and despite the existential mortification there are some real reflective gems to be plucked out.
( all my usernames had 'cat' in them at this age )
