I was Young, I was Stupid, and I wrote a Fanfic with Typos.

[Blade]

OH. MY. GOD.

I found my old Fanfic.

And it's as terrible and as embarrassing as I remember it being (I even had a sequel planned, goddammit).

I hate my younger self. My younger self shipped characters! My younger self was a Clerith... and I hate him!

Well I don't "hate him" hate him, but I'm currently ashamed of him.

If you want to read this, here it is.

THE ZODIAC WAR

(This says 2003 but I wrote it when I was 17 (so... 1999?) By the way this was originally written with a black background with all manner of unreadable fonts to color the dialogue... so yeah I was... a complete FF dork back then.

DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT, TRES! I KNOW YOU'RE LAUGHING!

DON'T LOOK AT ME LIKE THAT, TRES! I KNOW YOU'RE LAUGHING!

Laughing with you, not at you.

I remember reading this 15 years ago and not having the heart to tell you how bad it was -- or how hilariously suggestive some of the wording is.

"He grasped the hilt of this strange new sword and felt the firmness of it.

'I think I will call this blade Legend.'"

I was a kid with dreams of working for Square Enix, that's all I'll say on that subject.

I've actually STUDIED SINCE THEN.

 

[Cthulhu]

And realized Square and the gaming industry as a whole is an embarassment nobody should want to work for?

 

[Blade]

They had SOME good ideas, but mostly on the "Enix" side of things.

 

[Ite]

You got on Icy Brian? Slick.

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Blade and I both. Were you there as well?

I THINK I JUST SNROTED

And all I can think of is this lolololol

 

[Blade]

You realize I had no ulterior intentions when I wrote that, right? RIGHT?

If there's one thing that's consistent with me now with me back then is that I never exactly had my mind in the gutter in my writing.

THAT IS WHAT MAKES IT FUCKING HILARIOUS BRUH

 

[Blade]

Not to me it doesn't. <_<;;

 

[The Twilight Mexican]

Well, we're outvoting you on this and insisting you share in the mirth.

 

[Blade]

I never said this was a DEMOCRACY.

That being said, I don't mind laughing about my past, but there's somethings I don't think are funny. And I'm not about to change my feelings about who I am or who I was.

I may be straight-laced (perhaps to a fault, which SOME may find hilarious), but don't beat a horse if it's dead already.
