So, I've recently been digging through my online past. I cracked into my old email (I was very bad at making passwords), I tried to get into Starry-Lightning (my first FanFiction account) and I'm realizing how cringey my old stuff was. The cover for Frostpaw's Story is a poorly drawn MS Paint cat that probably took 5 minutes. The characters are bland, the plot is cliche (although at least there's an antagonist this time unlike Guardian Sister!) and for StarClan's sake, Frost's parents don't even try to help her. The chapters, also, barely exceed 400 words!
Also, the profile picture for Starry-Lightning is a crappy PopPixie base edit. And Guardian Sister? It has no plot, kits can't control everyone from StarClan, cats don't know what mirrors are, there is no antagonist, Swiftwind's death is rushed, Swiftwind has Wind in her name, and the list goes on and on. For both of these said accounts, I'm pretty sure there was zero editing involved.
Which is why I'm starting over.
