tfw you are editing fic you wrote in 2003 or so

...and feel so much second-hand embarrassment.

OMG I wrote myself into it. I don't even remember doing that.

(I will finish editing/reviewing, as I couldn't remember where this fic even was, and it didn't survive the song-fic purge from ff'net--by personal preference, not by getting reported, as far as I recall)

ETA: 2000. Written in 2000. Good lord.

LOL, whoops, accidental self-insertion?

I suspect I did actually do it on purpose. But reading it now is terribly embarrassing.

What the heck did you write that you embarrassed yourself with? I didn't know you could embarrass yourself?

There's a smugness to how many obscure characters I'm naming (Silver Sable's publicist, Havoc. NO ONE IS GOING TO KNOW WHO THAT IS--I had to wiki her, since I don't remember (ok, Bev will remember her, but Bev was always the biggest Sable fangirl going)).

Also, the aforementioned self-inserting (auuggggh, why did I do that, why).

I mean, at least Marya DeZorga wasn't me-me. She was a composite caricature of a Mary Sue (who was quite the Mary Sue). But the tired audio technician with the red hair is totally meant to be me.
