I've been in this fandom since the beginning in 1997. I've read and enjoyed most of what has been written (okay, I haven't read EVERYTHING...). It's been interesting to see various writers' first efforts grow into beautifully developed and well-written mature stories. I've enjoyed that process, and it's wonderful to go back and read the early stories and then progress to the later more polished stories. I balk at seeing these early stories rewritten. A few authors have done that and in many cases, I feel that the original flavor of those stories has been lost.

Writers should never be embarrassed by their early efforts. Those stories gave many of us a lot of reading pleasure. Each author is free to do what she wants to do, but I'd rather see new and better stories written instead of revising and rewriting the earlier ones....JMHO!!

I do love LFN fanfic....
