Hello! Well, guessing from your references we're not that far apart in age (My husband still has a White Vinyl copy of a Styx album), and we're not alone on this site, I know.
So, cool, another person who might remember Quisp cereal. |
Quisp cereal? Hmmm....you've got me there. And I thought I was the queen of all things '80s! So, what is Quisp cereal? I can't stand it that I missed something. |

Okay, step aside & offer your seat to the truly "youth challenged". . . My worst (and first) piece was based on "The Big Valley" (a western TV show from the late '60's). In accordance with the Geneva Convention, I won't go into details, but I will tell you it started with, "It was a dark and stormy night. . ."  |

It might be weird of me but I REALLY wanna read this LOL I love Pinky and the Brain. Although if you had done a crossover with XFiles/Pinky and the Brain/The Tick - I'd frame it on the wall. The Tick kills me. 
Okay - I had to bump this thread just cause its too funny. I said on another forum

The worst one is hidden safely on my hard drive as "The Mary Sue from Hell-Totally Shameless self insert -OMG-I-can't-believe-I-wrote-this" Legomance. And I don't even have the 'but I'm just a teenager' excuse. Nancy's head would explode if she tried to proofread this one too lol And you know the Mary Sue test? This MS broke all the rules. ALL of them - half elf, half sister to Aragorn, beyond beautiful, green eyes, red hair, need I go on? I won't even talk about...nevermind. |
BUT In all fairness my FIRST fanfiction was a RP (Real Person) fiction about.... okay I was 12 so just expect the worst....Duran Duran with guest appearances from all the musicians in the Band Aid group  . I've never told anyone about this story other than my best friend in 8th grade who was my partner in crime in writing it. I think my dad threw away the only hand written copy in a box of stuff as far as I know so thankfully it won't ever come back to haunt me.
Whew...I feel better now. This is like confession!!!!

*clears throat* I mean, that's okay, Al. We still love you, and (as far as you know) respect you!

At least mine didn't start with "It was a dark and stormy night..."  But I do think there was a little smut in it. Gee...big shocker!!

 I know...it's hard to believe. But I wrote that before I knew the 'details' of sex so umm...it was probably more like soap opera/bad romance novels sex.

Actually my 'worst' thing (ok, actually one of my worst things) was a Dr Who fanfiction that I wrote years ago when I lived in London, and had smut in it, written before I kind of knew the ins and outs (excuse the pun) of it as well. I know I listed the same story as one of my favourites on LJ, but I do love it to bits, just I know it was absolutely terrible. I was having a goth phase, reading Stoker and Leroux and book loads of Victorian horror and Vampire stories and Anne Rice and all, and I tried to put every single thing into this story, as well as canon from about a million classic Who episodes. I think in the end it was something like 237,000 words. Utter garbage but real fun to write.
Unlike my play I wrote about bodysnatchers in Victorian London, which was just utter garbage

Thats very true. It seems the least canon correct, more Mary Sue my writing was, the easier and more fun it was to write because I didn't care about rules (or who saw it LOL) I have a few stories that are bad...I mean REALLY bad that were a blast to write but they'll stay forever on my hard drive .Thats why I  the Virtual Village. Even though I do have to follow rules, can't throw canon completely out the window, and I do try to have a good plot, its just fun to write such a casual story. (now I just have to find time to write it )

| I used to write ridiculous mystery stories in high school, but I remember attempting a romance one time. It had my boyfriend laughing so hard I threw the whole notebook in the garbage on the way home. As for fanfic, my first attempt was a completely implausible Legomance and that was just last year, so I can't blame youth for that tripe. We'll see if I ever get up enough guts to post my second attempt (not a Legomance). |

My first attempt at fan fiction was was a godawful LOTR Mary Sue fic, where the Sue was based off of Sailor Moon. Ugh.
I have since killed it dead.  |
