I don't write fan fiction anymore. I used to be a sucker for it. My stories, if you notice, from the very first: "The Alternate Birthday Present" to the latest: "Salt, Blood, and Fear" have been growing up with me. I keep them all because it reminds me where I came from as a writer. Where I began, and where I am now.
So, yeah, first couple of stories are childish crap, plot holes, grammar mistakes, and all. "Through the Pink Glasses" is the first "ok" story, and whatever comes after that is relatively decent.
I don't know if I'm ending the career of writing fan fiction yet, because from time to time, I come back to a specific Inuyasha fic I've been writing for a while. I don't know (don't think it'll be published anytime soon). Oh well.
Peace, Fialka
