Fun fact! When I was 13 I wrote this 40,000 word Mary-Sue Pokemon fanfiction about a self insert character's journey to have every boy (and I think a couple of the girls, too) in the Pokemon Special universe get with her.
It is, to this date, the longest thing I have ever written and it was never even finished.
Which means that 13 year old me had no discernible life. I can vouch for that.
This 40,000 word story was put on a CD entitled, simply, 'Dash Files' along with all the other files I had accumulated on an Acer Laptop I had at the time. (Because said laptop was dying and I was fully convinced the many, many stories I wrote (all very similar to this one) were too important to let parish forever.)
Last week, as I was cleaning my room/house, I happened upon this previously forgotten CD. Among many cringe worthy photos/writings/etc. I found, once again, this ridiculously long ridiculously poorly written story.
Ahhh memories.
And because I enjoy making others laugh I have, in one very long chapter, include in its entirety "It's a Love/Hate Kind of Thing" for your viewing pleasure.
Obviously, I don't expect anyone to get through the entirety of it. But skim it, relive your own adolescence. Laugh. All that stuff. We have all been at this level of writing (and if you're anything like me) perhaps you are, even still, close to it.
Enjoy friends. This is probably one of the worst stories you'll read.
