I'm lying in bed, under my covers with only my phone for company, I have to wake up in four hours, and I'm not sleeping. Instead, I'm reading through my old fanfics.<br /><br />The Transformers ones, to be precise. Granted, I can't really call these "old" since they were all written within the past year, when I finally got the guts to be part of the fandom instead of just watching it go by. I'm reading through these fics and I'm wondering 'what was I thinking when I wrote these?'<br /><br />Not because I think what I've written is crap. On the contrary, I feel like everything I wrote during that period of time is so much better than what I'm turning out now. For starters, I actually <em>finished</em> things. Looking back, I can pinpoint around when I stopped writing regularly, and around when I feel my writin dropped in quality. I know exactly what happened.<br /><br />Homestuck happened. I got sucked into it, and didn't look back. I saw all these cool and interesting ways the comic did things, and I fell for it and didn't think about much else for a while. Okay so I do that with nearly every new fandom of mine, but somehow Homestuck felt different. Feels different. And I'm not entirely sure why.<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://beaslays.dreamwidth.org/23422.html#cutid1">Don't bother with the dead rat.</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br />Help. <br /><br />//<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=beaslays&ditemid=23422" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2010-05-13:514417:14295 2011-07-25T09:25:08Z 2011-07-25T09:25:08Z public 0 &nbsp;*kicks LJ*<br /><br />Work, slag you, work! *waves feather duster at it* I want to check on my coms!<br type="_moz" /><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=beaslays&ditemid=14295" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments tag:dreamwidth.org,2010-05-13:514417:13027 2011-07-23T12:03:47Z 2011-07-23T12:05:31Z aggravated public 2 Rant under cut due to heavy cursing :|<br /><br /><span class="cut-wrapper"><span style="display: none;" id="span-cuttag___1" class="cuttag"></span><b class="cut-open">(&nbsp;</b><b class="cut-text"><a href="https://beaslays.dreamwidth.org/13027.html#cutid1">Answer the fragging question!</a></b><b class="cut-close">&nbsp;)</b></span><div style="display: none;" id="div-cuttag___1" aria-live="assertive"></div><br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=beaslays&ditemid=13027" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments
