From Scott Lynch - what were your earliest writing incidents?

Oh ho ho ho.

Well, not counting the blatant Animorphs rip-off in year one or two, the first would have to be a story (some of which I actually wrote down, and subsequently lost) about Mink, a white kitten whose neighborhood was flooded. Our hero then made a raft out of a door (don't ask), rescued twin tabbies off a rooftop, and then proceeded to uncover a vile plot behind a pet food company which was experimenting on kittens. Or at least, he was going to. I never got past the discovery of their front organisation, which was some kind of kitten playground, or something.

Further along my small fuzzy animal obsession, were the AcroRats, who were not actually rats, but were certainly acro. They were actually mice. Super mice. Who became so by eating coconuts (seriously, don't ask). I invented several nift, er, inventions, involving a technique for stealing coconuts off market stalls and a trampoline system involving mouse traps, and got up to the introduction of the main antagonist, a cat, before losing my manuscript. Yes, folks, I sense a recurring theme, here.

With the invention of the computer I actually managed to not lose my stories mid- er, story, but that period of time consists mostly of fanfiction. Thus I shall post an excerpt from my very first (I think) fanfiction, "Guess Who's Back", to illustrate my, er, Early Style. *cough*

( It burnnnsss )

You see, folks, the reason you must STAY AWAAAAY from ff.net is that it's full of... well, THAT. At least I can say I grew out of it!
