People keep favoriting my Avatar fic on the Pit lately. I'm glad they like it, I guess, but at the same time I'm sort of embarrassed by a lot of it. My Avatar fic comes from a period when I was pretty awkward, writing-wise, and I used a lot of cheap drama that I now cringe at a little bit. It's not out of character or anything, it's just...less refined than I would like.

I feel the same way about my Harry Potter fic especially. I'm pretty sure it's not ooc but it just feels incredibly not good. I mean, hell, I'm embarrassed by one year old stuff too so just imagine how I must feel about 7 year old stuff!

Rhyme sat, book open in her lap as she pecked on the difference engine keyboard.

"Oh, Harry," she murmured aloud, unaware she was actually talking rather than just thinking it. "I'm sorry I tried to kill you. Thanks ok Draco--" She paused again and bit the tip of her finger as she tried to think of what to say next. "Your dad just wasn't a nice guy."

Perfect! She giggled slightly to herself. Definitely how it should have gone in the books.

Hanatarou looked up from the screen, his face wavering between horror and fascination.

"Well?" Rhyme asked him, taking no notice of his expression. "Did you like it?"

He cleared his throat. "Ah, it was, umm...very..."

How does she know about that!? he thought frantically as he stammered over his words. She's only how old? She didn't hear it from me or Ness...

And now she was looking at him inquisitively, eagerly awaiting his appraisal. He couldn't put it off any longer. It's probably my fault, he admitted to himself. I was the one who bought her that textbook...

Then he opened his mouth and corrected some misconceptions she had had about male anatomy.
