sailorzeoHave you ever gone back and taken a look at things you wrote, oh, ten or eleven years ago, and as you read through them, have you ever thought, "My GOD, what was I thinking?"
Yeah. Revamping the Castle is sort of like that. A good portion of the fics on there were written when I was a senior in high school. Eleven years ago. ELEVEN YEARS AGO. They were tweaked and fine-tuned a little, first when I typed them in, then again when I'd reformat the page, again when I broke the uber-long Saga into chapters and two separate fics, but now....I admit it. Christina Collins is SUCH a Mary Sue. She's evolved in my head over the last eleven years. Matured. Powered-down. I almost want to go back and totally rewrite my first-ever Power Rangers fic. I was seventeen and a bundle of seething hormones when I started writing PR fanfics. Add in that I was addicted to Johanna Lindsey historical smut, er, romance novels, and you've got potential blackmail material hiding in my file cabinet. Yes, I still have the original drafts. Spiral notebooks, passed back and forth between Ellen and me at homeroom, lunch, and chorus. Sometimes at gym class. I have not only my notebooks, but also some of hers....and some serious potential blackmail material. I just have to mention the word "elevator" and I receive the Glare of Death. :-D
Heh. Almost finished with End of the Rainbow. Damn, but I was proud of that when I first wrote it. Now....well, it's a decent premise, but the execution.... (shrugs)
