Am spamming a bit. Sorry.

I was just thinking of how teenagers write fanfic nowadays, and have been trying to find *my* really early stuff. Well, guess what? I found it this afternoon cleaning boxes out at my mom's place.

So, for those of you who want to see how I wrote at age 14, you can. I only have a fragment up because I need to retype the thing into the computer (it was originally written on my mom's Apple IIc, on Appleworks, back in 1987), but plan to slowly type this thing in so I don't lose it again. Be aware that this was written by a 14 year old, and therefore... um. Yeah. All I can say is that I mostly wrote better than a lot of kids do nowadays.

Yeah - see, that reminds me quite a lot of what I wrote when I was 14. It has grammar, it has spelling (ok, so my stuff didn't have the spelling so much - Locoscript didn't have a spellchecker, but I did try and DID get other people to look for the errors) and all it's really lacking is the sense of depth that can only be achieved with much practice. Kids nowadays just don't care enough. (Or, at least, large numbers of them don't - there are some that do.)
