I always enjoyed writing, so naturally as a young teenage girl once I stumbled upon the wide, wide world of fanfiction I was INTO it for a while. Angsty romance fanfic, crossovers, full on Sci fi action stories featuring some kind of space mafia... I kind of went wild with it if you know what I mean lol. Anyway, fast forward about 7 or 8 years and I'm now married, in my twenties. I still enjoy writing but don't have the time to be so invested in a lot of the fandoms and online circles I used to be active in when I was younger.
The other day I was looking for some old documentation so I logged onto my old Google drive I used to use before I changed my email address and name. Browsing through the folders I found my old stash of writing, and of course my old fanfics. I've been kind of reading them over the weekend, reminiscing over how ridiculous they are, having a bit of a laugh. This afternoon I was doing so again while waiting for laundry, and didn't bother to sign out or even minimize the let's say... rather dramatic story I was reading when I got up to fold a few things.
During this time my husband got home from an errand. He wanted to order some lunch. I said great, my laptops on the table-- WAIT--!
...But it was too late. I knew he'd taken a second to read what was still on the screen in front of him when he started absolutely cackling. 🤦♀️ And I mean I don't blame him. Because this wasn't just any fanfiction. This wasn't Star Wars, Harry Potter, or even Supernatural fanfiction. This particular one was from my truly questionable days of Kpop fanfiction.
He thought it was pretty hilarious and teased me about it for a minute before ordering our food, but I was pretty mortified haha. I mean we all have the cringe things we used to do as teenagers but LORD help me if I don't do a complete wipe of that whole drive tonight... ðŸ˜
SO lesson learned; hide your dark history of fanfiction under lock and key, and definitely don't forget to purge your old FFnet/tumblr accounts from time to time!!
(tldr: I found a bunch of old fanfiction I wrote as a teenager, was having some fun rereading it, but ended up accidentally exposing my husband to it too 🙃 )
