I think it says something very profound that upon finding out it's apparently "Quote Your Own Fic" day, and taking into account how tired I am right now, that I *still* can't bring myself to post a snippet of my early Suefic.

I mean, I just opened up the file with the Oak Ridge Boys fanfic in it. Figured that if I'm ever going to be oblivious enough to unleash this horror on an unsuspecting public, it would be tonight.

Nope.

Even this tired I *still* can't read it without cringing in abject horror. Even though I was eleven, I still feel like I should have known better.

Necro report tomorrow, when my eyes aren't crossed from crunching numbers. Suffice it to say, the experiment was successful.

Does a gaming log count as fan fiction?

Some of your vampirechicago stuff probably would -- the stuff that happened out of game time.

Oak Ridge Boys fanfic? I thought I was bad with my Dark Shadows stories. Mercifully, not a single shred of those awful stories exists today. And even more mercifully, my brain is too far gone to try to recreate them. LOL

Honestly, I don't know if I *could* write as badly as I did in some of these stories. Some of the self-inserts are actually pretty good -- I did Star Wars and Raiders stuff that I still enjoy rereading.

The rest of it? *shudder* I think I'm just inherently masochistic keeping it around, even in fragments.
