The worst?
I have a couple of ringbooks and notebooks with the most absurd crossovers: SW with Heavy Metal and then Karl May (western) with romance novels (before I ever got to read them) and Galaxy Rangers with Marvel and DC ...

The Best:
My 8th Grade German Essay about timetravel. I don't have it anymore ... THAT was original fiction ....

By now, I really don't care, but just write my soul out ...

Oh...my worst...oh.

My first attempts of LOTR Humor. Argh! They were so bad! My best friend persuaded me to make them all gay, so they're really idiotic.uhh. I think I've burned or trashed the notebook with them in it I'm not sure. But to give you an idea of how bad they were here's my first ever LOTR Humors' title:

Oh! I'm really going to embarass myself

Pippin Discovers the Internet

[queenoftheshire]

Oh just so I don't further humiliate myself this was like 3 years ago or something i have no idea when but we do know it was somewhere after the internet became popular

You gotta know I sooo googled you after that post. Um, is that who I think it is on the cover art? (note stalwart refusal to use an icon here)

Hey -- you're published. revel in it. I'm jealous. How'd you manage it?

Know what happens when I google my name. NOTHING! I mean neither I nor anybody who shares my name has ever done ANYTHING.

I suppose its better than being linked to the America's Most Wanted website.

best,

I have noticed a tendency in this thread to only note that which we wrote in our youth...

I, however, never had a youth. I sprang fully-formed, every gray hair, stretch mark and wrinkle intact from a Character Generator at the Barrow-Downs.

Okay -- I'll bite. The worst thing I ever wrote...has to be some short story I wrote when I was in Seventh Grade based on a painting by Goya.

However -- I'd like to know what people have written that they are embarrassed about as an adult.

For me,
'tis likely to be
a piece of poetry

I'll vote for my first Legolas fic -- lots of contractions, lots of angst, lots of modernisms. Someday I'll turn it around.

but not today.

I once wrote an absolutely AWFUL Mary Sue fic about a girl Elf from Harad named Kelly.

Except her name wasn't REALLY Kelly, that's just what people called her because she didn't have a true name yet. She hadn't earned one.

She earned it by saving Gimli from a bear. Or something.

There was much disgustingly cute bonding of Legolas, Haldir, and Gimli. The whole thing is utter rot. Its one redeeming factor is that since I wrote it less than a year ago (WHYYYYY?!?!?! What was I ON?!?!?!?!), it is at least well-written crap.

Saving Gimli from a bear sounds lovely. Care to link?

[Halfwest]

She doesn't save Gimli from a bear, I was wrong. He saves her from a random orc.

That's it, if you actually want to submit yourself to the agony of that thing.

[LuthienTinuviel]

Okay... I feel out of place. lol.

Worst thing I ever wrote was concerning something to do with some bunch of kids and one lil lonely kid. Blatant self-insertion of getting back revenge on those bullies at school,

I think I got that inspiration from some Disney-like family serials.

As for fanfiction... believe it or not... it's Enid Blyton... and of some really nice cartoon shows I used to watch. Most of the time it never occured to me to actually write it down, but I used to play all the stories in my head down to the last falling leaf in detail, like in a movie.

Gargoyles (Disney), Winnie the Pooh, The Faraway Tree.... Heck, I'm a dreamy sort of person.

Oh, well...

[PoweroftheBook]

Eleven years old...wrote a Star Trek Voyager plotline that was Janeway/Chakotay, and vaguely resembled the Disney plotline for 'Pocahontas'.

The worst part is that I just kept writing Janeway/Chakotay stuff till the show turned me off (about the time the writers decided to add 7 of 9).

(Slaps self)

At least I had the good grace to burn it a year later when I realized what crap it truly was.

Feeling much better after this confession,

Hoo boy... Worst fanfic ever?! Let´s see... When I was 9 or 10 I was a bit obsessed with Star Wars (Luke Skywalker, of course) and "Neverending story" by Michael Ende. I was Luke Skywalkers other sister, 17 years old (at the time, I thought 17 was the perfect age for everything), extremely pretty, used the Force a lot etc. A Mary-Sue, really. Oh, we fell in love as well, because we found out I was adopted or something like that. In "Neverending story" I replaced poor Bastian and went on a lot of adventures with Atreju. Holding hands and innocent kissing were frequent.

I´m responsible for some really embarassing stuff concerning "The Vampire Chronicles" by Anne Rice. The same can be said about LOTR, Harry Potter and Smallville. And this I can´t blame on being a little kid, since I have reached the honourable age of 31!

And, no, I won´t post any of it here or elsewhere.

[BittenBuggy]

Worst thing I've ever written? Let's see.... When I was in middle school (6th to 8th grade) I wrote a story about a unloved, lost teenager (seeing parallels?) who lived on the streets of Detroit. It was AWFUL, characterization was terrible, plot was non-existent, writing style was under-developed. On top of all that, it was hard to follow and I contradicted myself constantly. I found it on an old disk when I was in college and I burned it (not literally).

When I was in highschool, things got a little better, but for a reason unbeknownst to me, I tried to re-write the Tolkien world. Ha! It could be a comedy if I were to ever post it.

In college, I took classes and read books and listened to lots of lecturers on writing. That's what it took for me to even become mediocre. Hopefully I will still improve though! [/url]
