My Secret Fandom Shame

This.

Hercules fandom. Explicit non-con. Repeating of the letter 's' to show that the villains were lizards and thus hissing. And, you know, eeeeevil. Hey, I was sixteen.

Oh, my god. I wrote this when I was underage and only just entering fandom. So, as a cover?

I used my dad's name as the author name.

My god. That was so horrible of me. And the fic? Also horrible. It's incredibly melodramatic. And based completely on fanon, as I hadn't seen a single episode of the show. And it's so very fanon.

It's actually not complete trash. There are parts that amuse me, among them, the sudden appearance of a narrative voice -- "Unbeknownst to Herc, but knownst to us, Iolaus has followed him."

Hee. Knowst to us.

But I did, you know, lie to a fandom about my name, my age, and my gender.

My one and only story in Herc fandom. Forever a WIP.

*sheds a single, perfect tear*

Heee! I wrote absolutely abysmal HtLJ fic for a couple of years when I first got into fandom. Dreck, every one, but I have a certain love-hate affection for them.

Love-hate is the perfect way to put it.

I'm just so glad that my melodramatic tendencies have calmed down.

""Ssalty and ssweet." The creature murmured as it worked its way down Iolaus shuddering torso. "Sscream, little one. Let me tasste your fear."

Iolaus swallowed his screams and held himself as still he could manage. He felt the icy, scaled hands rub against his chest and back.

The monster nicked the nap of the warm neck in front of it. Its eager tongue licked the small wound clean. Then it placed its mouth around the cut, sucking strongly."

This creature sounds rather like the gnarl... you've been ripped off by the BtVS writing team!

It does sound similar. That's incredibly amusing. Oh, man.

That is so awesome.

I'm judt glad I was too lazt at sixteen to write more than a few pages of my X-files Mary-Sue masterpiece. I wonder what I would have done.

I'm just glad that I finished when I did. I can only imagine what I might have written next.

The things that we think are brilliant at sixteen, man.
