Therefore, if I were to revisit my "earliest" fic, it would be Trinity. Don't know what the hell I'd do there.
No sympathy here. That one is a bit like Athena bursting from the head of Zeus full-grown and powerful. I guess I might have done better--I did know how to write, if not fiction--if I had tried a short story first instead I had the hubris to try a novel and also the stupidity to court the fandom instead of flying into its face. (I was trying to sell a YA novel--cough, cough, Legomance!--instead of writing from the heart.) So, yeah, my effort is mortifying. After that, it took me nearly year to find my feet.
