I RECENTLY WENT ON AN ARCHEOLOGY DIG AND FOUND MY OLD WRITING! it was coated in dust, disgusting, also quite greasy? i kid. if you want a nice chortle come on down to this forum. share your old writing! talk about how you've improved! maybe advice to beginning writers! 

idk if there's something in similar vein to art but let us indulge! i am a hypocrite not to share so i introduce: embarrassing danganronpa fanfiction i wrote 2-3 years ago! in hindsight that is not very long! if you give me some time i can find my old warrior cats/terraria fanfiction that i handwrote and i will transcript it for you all. 

here's some excerpts of the fanfic i have though. under cut. i know. my old writing deserves to be published. it's late i'll link the full fic later!

Thirsty. He was thirsty.

Komaeda blinked his eyes open, adjusting to the utter darkness of the room as he rubbed his eyes. He had stayed in bed for a while, before remembering what precisely he had woken up for. Komaeda pushed himself up, using his elbows as support as he quickly pushed himself out of the bed. A small “shhf” noise as he got himself onto his feet and blinked again. Plan Get-Dr-Hopper was into set into motion.

No going back now. He thought to himself.

Pale footsteps dashed across the carpeted floor of the hotel room. The steps are careful - delicate, as not to awaken those sleeping on the floor. 

---

You see, Komaeda had gone with both Mioda and Chiaki to a cheap convenience store that happened to be the closest to the hotel they were staying at to simply grab some Dr. Hopper. That, itself, wasn’t a bad run - but all went bad when Mioda had a bounce in her step as she ecstatically skipped down the sidewalk - shaking the cans of soda along with her. 

As Komaeda opened the can, an almost unnaturally loud “FZZSHH” rang out, instantly breaking the silence of the room. Komaeda let out a small yelp, jumping back in surprise - shortly before letting out an almost ungodly shriek as he caught his foot under the sleeping Hinata, loosing his balance and toppling over him, spilling the soda both all over himself and Hinata. This broke him out of his sleep in an instant.

---

Arcade, huh? Sort of over the top, Cowboy. Hajime thought to himself, before scoffing at the fact that he addressed to the place as “cowboy”

---

"Hey, don't you have a ballpit to play in?" He said in a taunting tone. He'd give Hiyoko a taste of her own medicine - she knew he meant it in good fun.

"And don't you have a room to get?" Hiyoko snapped back, relentlessly. 

---

"Wu-huh?" Hinata looked up and down.

"Hinata-kun!!! Hinata-kun!!! Look at the wheel!!"

---

"STEP RIGHT UP AND TEST YA' AIM!" 

The voice rang out, instantly drawing Akane's attention to it. Skeeball.

---

“Oh g-god! Komaeda, jesus! You scared me!” He scolded.

---

“Don’t go all on the self-hating crap, you shot Teruteru-“ Hinata took a deep breath. “-good job.”

the moment i saw the word komaeda i made a gutteral noise

i dont have much physical writing i can get because i don't actually write much and keep most of my story stuff in my head cuz im lazy, but i can say im still baffled at one thing about my old ocs from like. elementary/middle school

the main character was a grim reaper named reaper, and she had like a demon buddy named sonyo. they lived together and were eachother's best friends, but i felt the need to give reaper a cardboard cutout boyfriend because I Was A Baby who didn't know what a lesbian was :v anyways now im gay and reaper and sonyo are gay and its all good

i did some digging in my dA and found this 'jailbreak meme' dated at around 2013, which is one of those 'you put ocs in numbers and youre prompted to write based on whos what number' things. heres the full thing (i included descriptions of what each character looked like)
this is the closest i can find to actual old writing right now.

 i DO remember i wrote an anti-justin bieber hatefic around when he first was super popular and everyone hated him - if i find it ill definitely post it .. i also remember i rewrote that one mlp grimdark about cupcakes as a human au and turned it in for a creative writing project in like 2012 but again ill see if i can find it again but i kinda hope i dont

language ? kinda. not really

RULES:
1. Pick 10 Oc's.
2. Don't skip questions, or plan ahead! It makes the meme more fun just to make it up as you go along
3. Have fun!

OC's:
1. Kobe (white wolf with blue ears and tail
2. Pigtails (girl with bright pink hair, a neon blue hoodie, and pigtails)
3. Lapis (MLP oc with scene hair)
4. Gale (peach bird... thing)
5. Wilson (dude with black hair and weird eyes)
6. Patchworks (dog doll)
7. Tom (my old sona, a dude with brown hair, and a orange and white striped polo shirt)
8. Flora (my main animal in animal jam)
9. Jellybean (light blue dog, with a green spot around her eye and a green and purple scarf)
10. BlueChin (a blue chinchilla with a blue hair bow and blue scarf)

BEGIN THE MEME!

1. 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 have been thrown in prison! What did they do to get there? How did they get caught?
It was all Pigtails and Wilson's fault. Wilson reacently became a proxy, so Pigtails wanted to show the gang Slendy's mansion. Them Masky tackled Gale, and a fight broke out, the police heard the noise and arrested them all. Masky isn't here though 


2. They soon find out that the wardens are 9 and 10! How does 5 feel about this?
"PFFFFT, this'll be EASY!"


3. Almost Immediately, 1 is already planning an escape. What's their plan? When do they plan to put it into action?
"Let's nom them to death! Then when they're dead, we can leave!"


4. 1 tries to get everyone to help with his/her plan. What are the other's thoughts?

"Kobes, we ALL can't nom"

5. Finally, they agree to help... Well, almost. 5 refuses to help and insists that they can escape on their own. What does 3 do about this? Does he/she try to encourage 5 to help?

"Hella no. That Wilson shit got us here in the first place"

6. 5 Still refuses to help. 2 wants to just go on without him/her.

"Guys, if he had the qaulifications to be a proxy, he can get out on his own."

7. 1's plan works! They break out of the jail cell, but now they have to creep their way down the hallway, past the guards. And 9 is guarding the hallway! 4 Offers to distract him/her. What does 4 do to distract 9?

"Okay! Jellybean is pretty stupid, so I'll just fly around and make dumb jokes!"

8. The others sneak by as 4 distracts 9. Then 4 sneaks past as well. They've almost reached the doors... Suddenly, 2 steps on a random object on the floor, and it makes a loud noise. What is the object, and does 9 seem to notice?
"Dammit! It's my ProxyAlert! I must've dropped it! I have it in the forest to alert the operator if somethings up! Hm... Jellybean is running toward the other door... idiot."


9. They decide to break into a run, and soon, they reach the doors! The door is strangely unlocked... So they head outside! What does 2 say as the reach the front yard?
"Holy mother of Zalgo! We made it!"


10. Suddenly, 10 pops out of nowhere! And 6 and 7 is on his/her tail! They're guards too, apparently. 10 yells something at the escaped prisoners, and 3 says something back. What do they say?
"You're going down just like the Titanic!" "Well we've got us some lifeboats!"


11. Deciding that they should go before the guards stop them, 1 leads them to somewhere they can hide. Where do they go?
"C'mon guys! I know a family a gophers around here! I'm sure they wouldn't mind if we stayed for a bit!"


12. They run, and 10, 6 and 7 give chase. Though they soon give up. They arrive at the place 1 suggested, and go inside to hide for the night.
"Damn... those little shits are fast..."


13. As they sit around in their newly-found hideout, they start to hear noises outside. Who goes to check?
"Pigtails, you have the most combat training"


14. As he/she(The OC you picked) searches outside, they start to hear a rumbling noise. Something is tumbling down the hill! How does he/she react?
"Splendy... is that you?"


15. he/she soon realizes it's 5! he/she asks how 5 escaped. 5 explains:
"My sweet-ass sideburns and moustache did it for me"


16. Everyone hears 5 talking and comes outside. They soon start to hear sirens. The police followed them! What do they do?
(Wilson) "Oh fuk."


17. The police soon catch up to them. The escaped prisoners stand face-to-face with officers. 5 decides to do something about it! What do they do?
"I'm sure I have a teargas grenade in my bag..."


18. With 5's distraction to the police officers, they all run, leaving 5 there. What does 5 yell after them, if he/she says anything at all?
"Oh, so you're gonna be like that?!"


19. As they keep running, they reach a dead-end. What does 3 say in frustration?
"DISCOOOOOOORD!"


20. Out of the blue, 5 drives to them inside a cop car! 5 tells them to get in, and they ride off.
"No time to explain, GET IN!"


21. 10, 9, 6 and 7 stare as they ride off in their car. What does 7 say in this awkward silence?
"Anyone want crumpets?"

22. The escaped prisoners arrive at a beautiful paradise, where they can't be caught! Well, or so they think. Where do they arrive at?
An old mansion in the middle of the woods, a sign outside saying "Phantom Laboratory"


23. 8 Is the head of their 'paradise'. He/she owns the place! What does 8 say as they walk in?
"Ah, hello! My name is Flora Spritcloud, phantom professor!


24. While relaxing, the cops pop out of nowhere! It turns out, 8 is an undercover cop! What does 1 say as they surround them? And what do they think of 8's betrayal? And what happens next?
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! I'd thought I could trust another fellow wolf, ASSHOLE!"

Slendy finally receives the ProxyAlert Pigtails sent, and came to rescue them. Wilson never became a proxy, and Pigtails was put on unpaid protection of the Operator

for a bit of context, i was really into creepypasta and MLP at the time

i feel super duper insecure about my writing , mostly because i like to indulge in stuff like oc x canon and inserting ocs into an au of canon and i still feel a bit self concious about it despite being mr. cringe culture is dead

but like, reading that makes me feel a bit better. i've definitely gotten better at not putting fandom jokes in every single sentence even if it's unrelated, and also cut down on swearing. a lot. which is funny because i swear like a sailor outside of that lmao

i guess i've also gotten better at making stories that make sense? instead of making the solution to a problem completely random for the sake of randomness


its late so im probably more incomprehensible than normal orz

Infiltrator

I'm afraid to open them all, but one of my ancient writings was written in a massive, thick notebook and my handwriting is tiny. I suppose I should open it one day and see how far I've come (or just check what was it I wrote about because I remember like 3 things from that story and it spanned several notebooks). It is also written in my first language. Now I write everything in English and store it digitally (except my notes. I'm a dinosaur when it comes to notes and I keep them on paper). It was also all original (except that fanfiction I wrote and lost in 5th grade. I wasn't even aware it's called fanfiction, I just felt so original for coming up with a self-insert cousin for a main character of a show I liked).

ok this are two episodes of a story that I wrote when I was about 12-13years old. This is my favorite thing in the whole world, which is why it's the only thing I actually have also written in english of my old stories :'D all of my old stories are pure perfection and I will forever try to reach that level of fun I had writing that stuff :'D /and o yea I never took those stories seriously, they were always supposed to be hillariously idiotic X3/

it was a warm summer nightpeople were already sleepingwhen it suddenly happened

 It was night. A little feathery head peeked out of the „hiding place“. A bird? No, it was HerSomewhere in the distance something smelled of radishesShe was hungrySeh slowly slithered forwardShe entered the house. On the table there was a plate of radishes. No, this time no one „sat on the sofa“. Because they knewTonightShe will surely comeWhen she was done eating she felt satisfied.

Okay, if y'all wanna take a magical journey to the past, here's a story that I found in an old notebook of mine from '99 (when I was 9-10), faithfully transcribed letter for letter:

Once upon a time the was a very ugly princess. Her name wan Susette. Susette lived in a very ugly castle. Now this castle wasn’t plain old ugly, it was super ugly. It was was ugly that it made a peasents house look like a magnificent palace. Everyone in the castle was happy except for Susette, for she evied the in castle across town. This other princess, her name was Marie, was so beautiful that princes from all over the land were lined up at her doorstep to marry her. But this wasn’t the reason that Susette envied Marie, the reason was that she envied everyone, including the mice in her castle. To make matters worse, one day Marie declared that she was having a ball and everyone was invited, except Susette. This made her very mad, so she decided to get revenge by embarrising Marie at the ball. So she made up a plan. That plan was to pay the royal tailor to make loose stitched in the princess’ dress. By doing this the result would be that when the princess went to dance, her clothes would fall apart, embarrising in front of the whole kingdom. When the night of the ball came, Susette snuck through the palace gates and watched through the window. She saw Marie walk out.

“Welcome ladies and gentlemen to this wonderful ball,” said Marie, “Tonight, we shall the finest musicians in the land playing for us and a grand feast afterward. Now let us begin the dance.”

Susette watched with a grin as Marie stepped out onto the dance floor. As soon as she has begun to dance the sitches on her dress begun to pop out. Marie noticed this and quickly waved her hand over the stitches and they were as [???] as ever. She was able to do this, for unbeknownsted to the people, Marie was a sorceress in disguise. Unfortuanatly, she had also cast a spell on the prince she was about to dance with, turning him into a todd. Suddenly everone in the room gasped in horrer, not only because the prince had turned into a frog, but because everyone in the room was turning to stone. On watching this, Susette starting laughing, half out of amazement and hald out of amusement. It was too bad though for Susette that everyone could hear her. This included Marie. Now if you’ll remember, Marie was an evil sorceress in disguise, so she went over to the window and shouted an encantment. The glass in the window suddenly dissapeared and Susette floated down into the room. Then Marie’s disguise vanished, revealing her true form. Marie shouted another encantment. But it was the wrong spell. The spell turned Marie into a bird and made Susette beautiful. Marie flew away and swore someday to get her revenge on Susette. Everyone cheered, and from there on, Susette was the most beautiful girl in the kingdom.

The End

It's... something xD

I recently found this, which I wrote when I was 11. Some highlights include pre-story parent death via boating accident and a final paragraph that makes no sense. 

Kirbygal

Dolce

oh my god I love the fanfiction posted in this topic, it made me realize nothing is sacred anymore

As for me, I used to do reader x canon bc I thought it would be popular since people seem thirsty. :')) Here's some excerpts that didn't make me want to lie on my bed and contemplate my life as a 13 y/o desperate for validation:

"He’s not even talking. We’re just sitting in awkward… awkward silence.” Sonja replied to Aden in her thoughts. Honestly, if this were a real date, she probably would have bolted an hour ago, but for the sake of her friend she had to try her best. Taking an awkward sip of her apple juice, Sonja sighed. She couldn’t take it anymore! Time to get him talking… with drastic measures, if need be! “So Bismark… how’s your… business?” she finally said with a forced smile. Shit.

Immediately, Bismark, who had previously been staring sullenly at his hands and probably contemplating his own failure to talk normally to a girl, was re-energized as he flashed a winning business smile. “Oh, of course!” he said, as if business was the last thing on his mind (truth was, his store was always in his thoughts. Always.). “We’re doing really well, I think. Just yesterday, we got a new shipment of some rare seeds, so you should definitely stop by and buy some if you’d like!” As he continued to ramble on about his General Store, even low-key advertising a few times, Sonja could hear Aden sigh in their shared thoughts.

“Oh great, way to go Sonja. Now he’s not gonna stop. All he ever talks about is business. I thought these practice dates were supposed to get him used to talking about other stuff!”

One from a Harvest Moon fic:

“Well, do you see them, Finn!? No, I didn’t think so, because they’re HIDDEN SOMEWHERE, I SWEAR!” Before the Harvest Sprite could muster a reply, she slammed her hammer into another ore rock. This time, stairs leading upwards appeared underneath. “Are you… actually kidding me. They were UNDER A FUCKING ROCK?!”

As Finn flitted around nervously, Molly stomped up the stairs angrily after putting her hammer away. This was finally the top of the Garmon Mines, and she was totally ready to cuss out the special bluebird and pluck all its feathers out so the next poor soul who fell in love and wanted to propose wouldn’t have to go through this hell like she did. Then again, that was probably animal abuse and the Harvest Goddess would likely punish her for it… but seriously, all this work for one blue feather was just ridiculous.

Aaaand one from a Hetalia!America x Reader fic:

“You want to make [Name] smile? She smiles a lot. Ohoho, I see, you want a special smile, mon ami. Well, I understand that. Why not watch a movie with her? Let her choose the movie. If it’s a scary movie, she might cuddle with you when she gets scared… oui? You might just get lucky...~”

‘No. Noooo, the hell no.’ those were the words running through Alfred’s mind as he stared at you putting the movie into your DVD player (my comment: PFF smh @ kid self, dvd players are outdated af). ‘Maybe if I suggest a really REALLY good movie, she won’t make me watch this.’ But no movies came to mind. Maybe he shouldn’t have taken Francis’s suggestion so lightly…

“I’m so excited! The reception from this movie is pretty good,” you said to Alfred, cuddling up next to him as he leaned against your couch, looking annoyed. “Elizabeta gave her copy to me!” you added as the screen changed to the menu of the well – known movie known as Titanic. People actually bought this cra- entertainment?

‘Does Elizabeta hate me…?’ Alfred thought to himself, shaking his head. Most people had seen Titanic at least once, but not Alfred. He had successfully managed to avoid seeing the cheesy romance for his whole life!

…until now.

He’d heard of the tragic shipwreck. Hell, who hadn’t? He just chose not to watch the movie. And apparently, [Name] had never seen the movie either.

As you got cozy against Alfred’s chest, he tried to make himself look interested. This was going to be a long day…

I do have some older stuff but idk if the world is ready for how edgy (and how bad the grammar is) it is.
