The very first thing I ever wrote was handwritten, because I just love dating myself here. I put it aside until I had time to type it, and never saw it again. In retrospect, I'm entirely sure it was a mercy killing by the universe as a whole.

My first story was hand written, which I had for ages until it mercifully disappeared. I also had a typewritten story or two that likewise thankfully disappeared. Suffice to say, I'm not exactly crying in my soup that they're gone.

I had a 70 chapter, 350,000 word story running around that ended up deleted between computers. There are fragments existing on various sites, but at this point they read more like loose outlines than my actual chapters.

Somewhere my mother has a pile of school exercise books from when I was around seven or eight, full of stories about alien abduction and criminal overuse of the word 'suddenly' Every now and again, an anguished cry echoes through England as I lose access to another hard drive, though to be fair it's been a few years since the last time that happened. I've lost more work than I can bring to mind, and more than I want to remember, but I do still mourn the loss of an SPN/Torchwood crossover I was working on years ago that I never posted.

My very first fanfic, Harry Potter, Snape/OFC. I took it down to work on it and my kid ran a magnetic toy over the CD.

Like*, back in 2005 or 2006 I had a story based on the TV show Angel on AFF. It was an incest story 'bout Officer Kate and her Dad, and nobody died though, being incest and all, it was kind've messed up. I deleted it from my AFF account and didn't keep a copy, though I couldn't say now if that was intentional or not. So, stories you wrote, even posted, but that are utterly lost to you. Go! *Sorry, saw some old Scooby Doo.

And just like that, we've all got something else in common!
