#'why not delete or orphan your old work' im too sentimental to take it off line but if i orphan it i'll lose the ability to ever have it

Hi, hope you’re well :) I was wondering if you write stuff outside of CTB? Or outside of Zelda? Your writing is really good, so I’m assuming it’s not your first work. Do you have any original projects, or do you prefer writing fanfic?

I have written other fanfiction in the past, but I am unwilling to share any of them as I am not proud of most of it.

I started writing fics when I was 13, which means that a lot of my old stuff is either associated with fandoms I do not look back upon with fondness or contain stuff that I was not old enough to write about properly.

I do have old fics that I am proud of, but they are too closely associated to the stuff that I would rather not talk about, so it's best that I don't share them either.

I have written original fiction, and I have two stories published through my university. Again, I am unwilling to share them here as they are associated with my full legal name and I would rather not dox myself.

I have definitely written more fanfiction than original fiction, but I was pretty much done with writing fanfiction when the idea for CTB hit me like a bullet train. If or when I finish CTB, I'll most likely jump right back to original fiction.

What remains to be decided is whether I'll let the persona of Frankie Who Writes Legend of Zelda Fanfiction fade away when that happens or if I will leave a door open for anyone interested to keep up with me.
