Here's one for the writers:
If you have stories posted online, have you ever gone back and looked at them later and found one that you thought wasn't merely drivel or not-so-good - but one you truly hated? If so, did you delete it or leave it there....?
I have one of those, and have forced myself to leave it alone....for now.

Hated? Wow. Are you going to tell us which one? I'd be curious to know what causes that kind of reaction in you.

I don't have nearly the volume you do, but there's one I've posted that I've contemplated making some changes to, but haven't gotten around to it. There's another I wrote where as soon as I finished it I knew it was a total hunk of junk, so it never saw the light of day.

Well....I don't want to inflict it on anybody! It makes me cringe - literally. There are a couple of others where I'd definitely take a different approach, if I were writing them today, but this one was just simply and unequivocally AWFUL!

If it wasn't the 4th in a 5-part series (where I really like #5 a lot), it would be long gone. Maybe, eventually, I will write a replacement #4....

There were a couple of stories I almost didn't post that turned out to be someone's favorite. (A direct hint to a certain, unnamed writer.....!) iyhg

I started one recently, but I couldn't get it going, so I scrapped it. I've like all of yours that I have read- I wouldn't delete them. What didn't you like about it? I'd be interested to hear what problems other writers have, since I am so new at this.

The one I absolutely detest....should never have been salvaged. But one of the ones I debated about involved Jaime going after a serial rapist. Just thought the subject matter was a little too intense. But I put it out there anyway and someone wrote to tell me it was one of their all-time favorites.

If I have an in-progress story that isn't ringing bells of joy with me, I'll usually put it aside and go back to it a few weeks later. Sometimes a different angle (rather than scrapping it altogether) can make the difference.

Another related question:
Have you ever posted a story, thought better of it...and pulled it?

No, but I've written some and then thought BEFORE I posted them - and didn't post.

Yeah, I've never put one up and then pulled it. My writing is far too protracted a process for me to do something off the cuff like that! I did write one and then not post it.

I certainly have some half explored ideas lying around.

Yeah, me too, Messyhead. About 4 or 5 abandoned stories in My Documents. Never did pull that clinker off of fanfic....

Isn't it fun to look back at some of our older stuff and see how much we've grown? :D

Sadly, I'm not sure I've grown that much :) I have a hard time going back through a story I've mainly finished and changing it too much. I try not to let that happen, but sometimes I get to the end and realize there are major changes needed. THAT is tough to do - and I'm often just not motivated.
