So I stopped using wattpad when I started high school because I thought I was ~too cool~ or whatever, and now that I'm in college for an English and creative writing degree going back and reading my shitty old fanfiction is really humbling. I wanted to write on here, no matter how horrible it was, because I loved reading other people's original and fan content and I wanted to someday become someone just like that - with a community and whatnot.
That never really happened because I lacked a dedication, but I still think the point stands that this was a really important part in my growing up as an author. Going back through and reading this story - it's terrible. Objectively, subjectively, it's just awful. It's sexist and weirdly homophobic and I have not one but TWO horrible dream scenes that make literally no sense, why the fuck would Jason break Percy's neck I'm-
Suffice to say, I will use this story to encapsulate where my writing started. Well, okay- I'll use that shitty Percico story "The Library" for that, because they kind of prove to me that I haven't wasted the past eight years of my life writing crappy fanfiction. I've improved from there, to mediocre fanfiction. Most of it the world will never see. In fact almost all of it will stay locked away in my google drive because if you thought THIS story was cringeworthy get ready for something that's s o m e h o w w o r s e.
But seriously. Nobody cares about this little story anymore but me. Nobody will care about this little update but me. I just wanted to say - thank you. To myself for three-four years ago, for having the bravery to put this out on the internet, no matter to how little an audience. And thank you to the people that read it, no matter how truly, truly hot garbage it is. And maybe I'll check back in on this account in a few more years, just to see if anything else has changed, so, thank you to the me that I am whenever that happens, too.
Have a good day, a good morning, a good night, whoever stumbles onto this, whenever or wherever you might be. And always look forward to what's coming.
