I was browsing around the Archive, and went to take a look at my own stories. And seeing all my stories together in a list gave me some mixed feelings. I thought I'd share them with you and see what you think.

Some of my stories (especially the first ones) are not good. I keep wondering "what was I thinking, writing this crap?" I've considered having them removed from the Archive (I already had the worst of them), but then my mind objects with "hey, I made the best I could at the time, so why should I be ashamed?" and "what if someone liked it and wanted to read it again? Miracles happen."

Others are good. (In my opinion, of course.) And that makes me think that putting them together with the bad ones underestimates them somehow. What if someone is randomly looking for something to read, stumbles on my name, reads the first story (which is one of the 'bad' ones) and decides s/he doesn't like my writing? (Selfish of me, isn't it?)

What are your thoughts on the subject?

See ya,
AnnaBtG.
