Self-promotion & self-reflection
Sep. 21st, 2026 06:50 pmI reposted two The OC ficlets last week:
Taylor’s Vimptal Question (aka Taylor's Very Important and Vital Question). G. Characters/Pairing: Taylor, Kaitlin, (Taylor/Ryan). 765 words. First posted: October 2007, lightly edited 2026. Summary: Where Brangelina, TomKat and Sethummer have led, Taylor would like to follow.
I mainly corrected typos and switched one word for one that was better, but I really thought it was overwritten in hindsight. And the portmanteaux I chose really date it (I can’t even be sure I was being ironic when I first posted it.)
I then reposted Taylor Updates PG. Characters/Pairing: Taylor, OFC, (Taylor/Ryan). Missing scene/script format. 628 words. First posted: October 2007. Spoilers: Set during ‘The End’s Not Near, It’s Here’ (ep 4.16). Summary: A translated missing scene from the finale.
It was originally posted very soon after 'Taylor's Vimptal Question.' The only editing I did was to add an errant full stop. But in the process of doing this, I realised it hadn’t been available in years, as I’d only provided a link to my Geocites website on LJ, and I don’t even remember when that disappeared. I never posted it on ff.net, because it’s in script format, something I may only have dabbled in twice.
I am now down to single figures when it comes to fic to repost.
