old and rusty
Sep. 18th, 2007 03:02 pmLast night's foray into the realm of badfic communities (all of whom lovingly refer to FF.N as "The Pit") prompted me to go through my old stuff today (much of it making me want to scream "Why? WHY?"). And though I have not finished anything recently (as in the last three years, gah), I think I'll be posting some of my old things. Because frankly, some of them are quite hilarious. In this post, the old and abandoned -- at least that which I can bear to look at.
What I will not be posting: Story Wars. It's too long, and too silly. It wasn't really a story as such, just a random distraction from the trauma of school and adolescence, there are too many characters, and the plot is iffy at best. It was just some brainless fun. It may be noted, however, that if I'd ever gotten around to the redo I had planned a few years ago, that would have been awesome.
Also, some of the short stuff I did when I was just starting to write fanfiction, each one worse than the last. Most horrible of all are a Moulin Rouge alternate ending (which wasn't such a bad idea, if only I hadn't screwed it up so bad) and a short Scrubs whumpfic that was so awful I never even typed it up.
Anyhoo, here's some stuff I wrote.
This one is actually not fanfic and was abandoned very early on (for good reason). I was in my Jack Noseworthy phase, and wanted to write a ghost story. I completely forgot about it until about a year ago when I dug it up going through stuff. It was to take place in the future, apparently. For some reason it was written all in cursive.
This was just an idea I had several years ago, and the only reason I never wrote it was because I wasn't sure how to do it. I still get a kick ouf of the idea.
Later I'll post some of my longer unfinished bits, my Lord of the Rings stuff (one of which actually is finished), and maybe, just maybe, the portion of the Dungeons & Dragons movie slag I tried to do (ick! eww!). That is, if I don't die of awful.
I would also love to post the transcripts of Happy Hogwarts Fun Hour. Once I correct all of Erica's spelling mistakes and my typos.
