That's okay. It just means you're good at avoiding things that are painful. Yup.
You know, I've always got to side-eye those people who post something amazing and then have a little comment like, "so I'm finally popping the fanfiction cherry, be kind!" It's just not fair. First outings *should* suck.
Though maybe I say this because I haven't been writing for a long time. I don't think I'd cringe quite as much at the self-insert I wrote for english class back when I was 10 as I cringe at just the shitty, shitty dialogue and telling-not-showing (to say nothing of bad formatting) in my first real forays into fandom.
