Fic note

I just found the first fics I ever wrote. Two Harry Potter fics from 2001. I also posted an excerpt of what I think of as my "head story" (as in, story I've been telling myself in my head for years and years. Not really intended for writing down, though) around the same time, and I found that as well.

I thought these things had been lost in a dusty corner of the world wide web years ago, so it's strange to see them again. Maybe a little embarrassing, too.

I'm not gonna link you to these... but I'm going to add them to my writing archive.

It's so weird to see these fics again. I can't believe they're still there after so many years.

EDIT: What? Are you serious? I apparently posted them on a site that doesn't allow me to copy the text back out. Text marking has been disabled. Oh well, time to look at the HTML, then.

The "personal" folder structure on my computer is a mixture of folder names in English and Norwegian. Most of the time I don't even notice it, but suddenly I become aware of how certain folders have English names, even when all the surrounding content is in Norwegian. Picture folders are the worst, though. I usually try to use descriptive names for pictures (especially if I want to find them again for graphics purposes or otherwise), but the descriptions can be in either Norwegian or English - even within the same folder.

Maybe it comes from spending a lot of time in an English-speaking environment online? I don't know, but isn't it weird how I just do this automatically, without even thinking of it most of the time?
