Have lost all respect for myself as a writer. Cannot speak using pronouns. Have located google-cached chapter of Mary Sue fic written at 14.

...

Words do not describe. Had entirely forgotten shameful first ever published fic. Every cliche ever incorporated into a Mary Sue fic is present in that fic. Original OC. From America. Mysterious connection to canon characters. Talking cat.

Must go bleach brain now.

OMG! You came back, and only to say this!

*jumps you, drugs you, and takes you to a place where Robins and Slades run free as inspiration*

Ginz, I missed you badly! And I miss your writing too! I don't care what some random site says!!! DUN LEAVE ME!

Hee. You always know the best thing to say to make one feel better. (though, trust me, if you read the horror that I in my childlike naitivity released on the world, you'd like not be so ready to forgive it..)

How is?

Surviving unspeakably emo things.

Heh.

Though my fanfic writing has been doing great this last week! School is devouring my soul, and some other things. But alas, I'm still so glad you're back. Many a time I've missed you!

Emo things? Unspeakably emo things? Would a hug help? Anything I can do?

I know all of school devouring one's soul, having been firmly reminded of it these past two semesters. Who knew that working a full job and taking courses would be this hard?

But excellent on the fic-writing. The world needs more of your fic. Seriously, it makes Earth a happier, shinier place.

Hahah. Not lately. My fics are usually screwing in dark freaky ways. Lol. But it's fun. And I like to make happy endings.

A hug would be nice.

Oh, huge thing. I got a second job. At the comic shop. I work at a comic store! And...Tom Grummett (Teen Titans artist) knows me. By name. I've met his son.

O_____O

Pookie, you DO remember Mariana, right? And Callista and Mailara and the LEGIONS of Sailormoon OC's I created? We've all done it. It's okay.

...can I see the fic?

*cringes* Yes, but your MS-ish OCs were, at least, interesting.

Mine? Gaah. Frightfully bad. All I can say in my defense was that the story was written over about a month, I did honestly try to spellcheck it, and I soon moved onto other things.

But, if you must, you can prolly still find the prologue here. Sailormoon AU Mary Sues, ahoy!

Or here, even. If you like your links non-broken. (though in this case, should this be taken as a sign? that this is a fic really not meant to be seen?)

I've seen no evidence of such. Besides, any mistakes you might have made in your wayward past are completely smoothed over by your offerings of lovely art.

Oh, most people were terrible writers at the age of 14; I certainly Sued away with all my mixed-up cliches at the time. I just think it's funny to read now. :D An d if you didn't suck then, it would be harder to see whether you'd improved today.

Now that I'm past the first shock, it is pretty amusing. It's like finding an old diary or something; it gives an insight to a person you really aren't anymore. Plus, you know, snickering at your pretentious young teenage self? Priceless.

That's exactly what I meant. I have hilarious stuff from my younger years that I could share. (Btw, how old are you now, if you don't mind me asking?)

Heh. It really is fun to look at one's older stuff. Occasionally I find things I like. Other times, it's the MS frightfest. XD

(No worries. I'm twenty-three. You?)

Yes, but you aren't pretentious. Trust me, when I was a teenager, my writing should have been burned and the ashes placed very carefully in a biohazard container for proper disposal. Your stuff, on the other hand, is *good*. And thus, there's a difference.

It's nice to (virtually) see you, MarySue and all. *waves*

I've lost respect for myself as a writer because I completely have not been writing. TONS of ideas, no ambition. :/

Huh. I think I wasn't getting lj notifications for a while - there are three comments there that I swear I've never seen before.

Anyway, yeah, I'm okay. Work + university ate me for a bit, but thankfully school is out now. Free time! Not having to get home after eight and ten on Thursdays! I don't quite know what to do with myself. I got your voicemail - want to get together sometime soon?

I should have some time tomorrow. How was X3? Seemed like you thought it was beyond decent. How was Shadowkat in it?

X3 was loads of fun and Kitty was adorable for the most part.
