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 ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
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.
