Am I going senile already?
Apr. 1st, 2008 11:45 amHuh.
One of the things I'll always remember about my time in Starsky & Hutch fandom was that it marked the start of a long period of no story-writing for me. I stopped doing fanfic prose altogether and published/posted only fan poetry, something that would continue for the next seven years through several other fandoms (until LOTR came along). At most, I only attempted one SH story, which never got past page 3 or 4 and which I never showed anyone.
Or so I thought.
Now I'm clearing out files from my old computer and I'm finding drafts and story notes for several other SH fics that I don't really remember. Now, at the time I did help edit a zine plus I was beta-ing for some friends, so it's possible they're someone else's fics...but the drafts/notes are structured very much in my style, down to abbreviations and placeholders and whatnot. Even the writing style--sentence structure, pacing, descriptions, etc.--sounds like, for the most part, the sort of thing I'd write.
But I don't remember writing it.
This is weird...
