Postcards from Oz - AU Edition

You started writing fanfiction a lot earlier than I did (Blake's 7 in 2000). I'd been writing 'original' fiction much earlier, in my childhood (no traces remain, thankfully) and then towards the end of my university career in the early 1990s. A lot of that's disappeared but there's one piece I rewrote & posted after I'd started writing fanfiction. It's pretty cringeworthy.

I find fanfiction inherently easier to avoid cringeworthiness -- the characters are less obviously based on oneself, even when really they are.
