how is that even possible.

I once wrote 29,000+ words of really bad fanfiction. All in one story, there were other stories... It was a serialized WIP and about a third done. And it's. Really bad. I don't think I'll even be reading any of it, I just did the word count out of sheer morbid curiosity. This was nine years ago, I would have been... *checks date* 16. I uh. Scare myself.


jmtorres: oh *god.* some of my earliest fanfiction has resurfaced. I'm afraid to look
jetpack_monkey: Egads. What are we talking about here? How embarrassing?
jmtorres: I'm reading through one hand right now. this might be the story the Mary Sue me is in. oh god WEE ME WAS HORRIFYING. oh look! the first mary sue out of the ballpark is actually *my ex*
jetpack_monkey: Ouch. Ouch ouch ouch.
jmtorres: the one that niqaeli is hilariously protective of me whenever she comes up
jetpack_monkey: Aw.
jmtorres: oh holy crap did I really write *twenty-nine thousand words of this*?
jetpack_monkey: I'm guessing that yes, yes you did.

Oh, dear.

This is the series that introduced Wee Me to fannish pr0n? Or a different one?

Also, the fact (assuming this is the one I think it is) that there is a PG-13 censored version amuses the hell out of me, given that bit of personal history.

CENSORED FOR SENSUAL DENUDING!

HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A CLOACAL KISS?

[jmtorres]

QUIET I SAY.

TRIBADIC SUNBURNS!

[jmtorres]

Well now I have no idea what you're on about and if it's related to my fic I hope you will not remind me.

I'm sorry, my recollection was a bit off - TRIBADIC SUNTANS. And it's a reference to the same chapter as my previous comments (I never actually read any of the others), although unlike the others, it's my own description rather than a direct quote.

In early May, a friend helped me to perform a massive decluttering. In the course of it, we unearthed VAST VAST VAST quantities of my secret handwritten stories. Much of it was original fiction, but the vast majority of things that went beyond 2 or 3 pages was fanfic. Horrible, horrible fanfic. Star Wars romance fic -- pre-revelation of Luke and Leia's siblinghood! (Which means that, oh god, I must have written it circa 1979 or 1980.) Uhura fic! STTNG fic! Original fiction that stole so many tropes from Star Trek it was clear I'd just sanded off the names! PERN SELF-INSERT FIC.

It's horrifying. It's more horrifying when one's friend picks up something and starts a dramatic reading of it...

I can only be grateful that none of that early fanfic made it onto the budding Intarwebs. Because I shredded it and no one will ever be able to read it again.

Out of solidarity, I dusted off one of my old (paper) journals from six years ago. Not only was I massive tool at age 20, I thought I was Deep. I also wrote entirely crappy Buffy fanfiction with original Slayers named after girls I had crushes on.

...clearly I should've let you suffer alone.
