you can never escape your sins

in the midst of all the tumblr pr0n bot notifications i got an alert from FANFICTION.NET on my old email account and the emotions were thus:

holy shit is that fanfiction.net

holy shit why did someone favorite my profile it’s been 84 years

...oh THAT was my screename?

they favorited it with only one story present?

HOLY FUCKING SHIT WHAT IS THIS BIO OH MY GOD I CANT EVEN READ IT DIRECTLY THE REGRETS THE REGRETSSSSSSS

wait i def wrote more shit than that, what was the other name i thought it was..?

oh thank god this profile is much more sane what a difference *checks* a... year? makes??

angst, angst, angst, random fluff, angst...yeah that seems about right

tempted to re-read the fics in a ‘covering your face with your hands and peeking through your fingers’ kind of way but i don’t think i’m emotionally prepared for that kind of mortification

#fanfiction #oh god it's literally been 20 years fuck #i'd complain about being old (which i am) but i know i'd get smacked by my precursors #i think my earliest fanfic interaction stuff was geocities? #i remember quizilla but i never got into that format #there was only one email-based circle #i got involved in #mostly by one author who wrote Spicy stories #KIDS THESE DAYS COMPLAINING ABOUT SEEING SMUT ON AO3 #BACK IN MY DAY YOU HAD TO LIE TO SOMEBODY'S FACE TO GET ACCESS TO THE SMUT #WE HAD TO WORK FOR THAT SHIT #you have ao3's 'here click this disclaimer' but do you KNOW #the websites with the FAKE button #that required you to READ THE PAGE to find the correct link #bc only adults would read the whole page i guess?? #and not be tempted like young'uns to just smash the link in a desperate attempt to get to The Spice #or smth
