- I wrote original fiction before I wrote anything else.
- When my mother told me my story was unrealistic, I stopped writing for a while.
- Then I turned to fan-fiction.
- But I had written fan-fiction once before: a lesbian self-insert story between me and the director of the organization that managed my employer. I only met her in person once.
- I started writing sexual things far before I should have.
- I wrote one piece of Yu-Gi-Oh fan-fiction called "bemused" for more than a year. It ended somewhere around a million words.
- Other than "bemused", I wrote almost forty pieces of YGO fan-fiction.
- I wrote an embarrassing pairing. But I liked it.
- The only fandoms in which I wrote were Yu-Gi-Oh and Cowboy Bebop, although I wrote only two stories for CB.
- I stopped writing fan-fiction in 2005.
- At first my characters were all female, mostly lesbians, and then they were all gay men. I've gone back to female characters now.
- I used to be much more confident about my writing and about sharing it. Then the Webmaster of SOL woke me up and I realized how much work my stories needed.
- I started writing a character in 2005. I still wrote about him in 2010.
- Every once in a while I still peek at what remains of my early writing, but I've deleted my fan-fiction and shredded most of what I had on paper.
- It's good to leave some things behind.
- As of 2011, I'm writing fan-fiction again. I've picked up a 30-prompt table about enemies. My goal is to write Star Trek: Voyager fan-fiction that has a plot and either no or very limited sex.
