First Story vs. Most Recent One

What's the first story you've ever written? I'm not talking about little stories you were forced to create during school, but the first story you've written for fun. What's your most recent story you're working on? How do they differ? Can you see a huge different/improvement in your style or what you're writing about?

My first story was a Naruto fanfiction that doesn't exist anymore (anywhere). It was truely terrible.
My most recent work has been on an MCR one-shot series.

It's really odd seeing how much I've progressed between the two. Most importantly, I can develop characters now. And that's kind of a big deal for me, because the characters are (for me) the best part of a story.

My "first story" was a Medieval Fantasy from way back in fifth grade. It was about two sisters that had to go do...something. That was when I was back on neopets, so it was kind of based off of Neoquest and the Meridell plot.

My most recent story is Starling. They're both historical, ironically. But Starling is developed and character-driven as opposed to plot driven. It's a lot more complex and everything doesn't come right out and say what it is.

I can't remember whether my first story was Spin (which I rewrote and is still in progress) or this crappy fanfic I wrote called Role Model. I think it was Role Model. But it was this terrible Fall Out Boy fanfic where this kid named Eric was all depressed and found out that Pete Wentz was his uncle.

My latest story (a rewrite, actually ) is And You're a Star, and it's about an optimistic kid who lives in the year 1999 and wants to do his bucket list before Y2K takes him out. I guess they're both similar in that they're both rather hopeful stories, in a way...but I like to think that the characters of And You're a Star are way more developed than the ones in Role Model.

Um, well, I wrote my first story when I was seven.
So clearly everything has been an improvement.

I wrote it when I was twelve, and it was a story about friendship that was for a class project. Needless to say, I confused leukemia with pneumonia and my parents edited the whole thing

My most recent was written from the point of view of a torturer/interrogator... do the math

This is pretty much my story as well. I guess by default we've come a long way.

I second this.

My first story was about a magical pond. And now I write about rockstars fucking and doing weed. You do the math.

My first story was a Dukes of Hazzard fanfic.

My latest story is an original novella spanning 20 years between two best friends. It's more mature than it sounds, I promise.

I've definitely changed and matured. I started out writing purely fanfiction, and now I write almost all original. My style has definitely changed, moving from very plot and action based and fast paced to very slow and reflective and character focused. I prefer my current writing style.

That's funny because my first real story I wrote (it was the second one I'd written; the first being a fanfic) was a Medieval fantasy story too with two friends who were actually sisters in a past life and ruled the kingdom was such-and-such. xD

I don't always count it as the first story I've written because it was a fanfic, but that really was the first thing I'd written for fun. It was a Code Lyoko fanfic. The show was about five kids who went into this digital world called Lyoko and stopped the evil X.A.N.A. In my fanfic I kept the same plot only introduced my OC and had her make a guy fall in love with her and become the most powerful Lyoko Warrior. It was so melodramatic and the characters acted nothing like they did in the TV show.

It was such a horribly written piece of literature (if you can even call it that). I knew nothing about writing. The whole story was one paragraph because I didn't know that you need to start a new one each time something different happened or someone new started talking. Nothing was really described well at all. It was mostly "he said, she said."

What I'm currently working on two things at the same time. The first one is sort of drama, fantasy, and possibly some historical themes working in there as well. It's about four kids who control the elements and have ancestors who were the Wolf Gods in Egypt. Bah, I'm terrible at explaining my stories in a way that doesn't make them sound like cheap rip-offs. XD

The other things I'm writing is a murder mystery about this guy who's schizophrenic and murders people then stuffs them in cello cases. Obviously more to the plot, but that's the gist of it. My taste in genres has definitely changed. I used to really be for the fantasy and romance (thank you, Twilight) but I've been leaning more towards disorders, sci-fi, and horror (thank you, Unwind and The Devouring).

Obviously I've gotten much better at writing between the two. I explain what things look like, smell like, sounds like, what the characters are feeling... My plots are more original (at least the second one is xD). Also, when I first started writing it was a habit of mine to stick in useless and detached scenes and dialogue that had to relevant affect on my plot. Another pretty big difference though is that I don't always write with my heart anymore. When I first wrote stories I just did whatever I wanted to, but now I'm more conscious of the quality that I edit while I write, which I hear is a bad thing to do.

My first story was in fifth grade about a young girl in the 1800's. It wasn't bad at all for a 5th grader I think
My new Story is I Will Save You. It was actually kind of difficult to write and came out kind of rough. I still love the main character though
Before mibba I wrote this huge story about a gang and a few short stories. My first ever mibba story was this one that I got rid of about an all girl band touring with MCR. Two of the girls fell in love wih the Way Brothers. It was terrible
So over all, my very first story was pretty good but later got destroyed by my sister and it was one of the only stories I wrote with a female main character. My first mibba story was not so great. It does have the fact in common with my newest story of a band touring with MCR and the main character falling in love with Gerard
Either way, I've gotten rid of almost all of my old stories because I do think my writing has gotten better over time. I believe it will continue to get better as time goes on. I love it. I write everyday and I have a talent for it. I also owe most of my writing success to mibba

The first "legitimate" story I remember writing was a Green Day fan fiction that I wrote in notebooks and NEVER posted to the internet.

Now, I don't do fan fiction really. Except I will turn to this Panic fanfic I've been writing if I feel in the mood.

My most recent story I've started is about domestic violence and shit.

The first legit story I remember writing was when I was around 9 or 10.
It was about my dogs, and that they spoke to me, and took me on adventures in their limousine.
It was based off of a children's book I read at the time. Naturally it's long gone.

My latest story was a Kingdom Hearts drabble about Xion and Roxas annoying Axel, their best friend.
But my writing style has improved greatly, though I know there's a lot of work to be done still.

The first story I wrote and was somewhat proud of is called, and I quote, "The Transmogrification of Ziggy Zagz." The plot revolves around Calvin and Hobbes style transmogrification, and there is a man mixed with a fish. Sadly, I lost the book. I was told to write it for school, but the teacher gave you free reign as long as it was school appropriate. It was fourth grade...
Happily though, I have my "Reflections" book from third grade. It's got fish and octupi on the cover. Please, allow me to give you an excerpt:

"6: Hobbies
"I enjoy doing a variety of activities. My favorite is reading. I love to read Yong Author books. I've written 5 comic books. The hardest thing for me to do is to do a split. I got it once, but I lost it. I've just got to work hard to get it again."

My most recent stories include Killjoy fanfics, a Spirited Away fanfic, and a story about a pregnant dancer.

... I've not come too far at all

My first story I really wrote for fun, when I was ten (I believe?), was about aliens wanting to kill everyone on earth. My protagonist was basically me, because I loved aliens, and they crush her school like a paper ball, and only her and her sister escape. These aliens are crushing peoples houses, homes. setting stuff on fire, just really dark and killing everything, and the girl negotiates a cease-fire with them because she befriends their leader's daughter or something. It was crazy stuff for a kid to be writing. And then, when we had to write a story for English, I figured I'd save myself some work by handing that in. Yeah, what a steller idea that was, considering I was in fifth grade at the time

My most recent story was about a lethal virus killing 99.8% of the world's population, and it strikes while MCR are on tour. I'd say it beats the first story so much, I'd be scared if my writing hadn't improved from the time I was ten, but I guess my love for killing people is still there

My first story was when I was six, called The Lost Puppy. It was from the point of view of this puppy whose lost... clearly, and she makes a lot of friends on her way home.

My current story is a slash. I guess you could draw some parallels between the two, with the whole "journey" to find "home". But I don't write about puppies anymore.... so I would say I've changed quite a bit.

I wrote my first story for fun when I was six, maybe seven, and it was about this elven princess and she had to go on some ridiculous quest or another....I'm pretty sure it was about saving talking flowers or something. It was a pretty hilarious story, I have to admit, and really long for a six year old. It was like forty pages of tiny little six-year old hand writing.

My current story is a fanfiction, total typical band-related fiction. It's about a young woman who is terrified of falling in love, mainly because she's never seen a relationship that ended happily. She has to go through all of this soul-searching to come to terms with her insecurities and make the decision to take a chance or not. And of course, it's also about the famous hottie who helps her out along the way.

Unfortunately, there are no similarities between an elf trying to save the talking flowers and a woman terrified of love. Although they are both total outrageous fantasy.
Hmm....maybe I haven't evolved as a writer after all.... :p

My first story was when I was ten. It was called The Black End I wasn't that good with titles, but I actually do love the plot. It was about how this group was using parents/adults for some type of energy source and kids were used as an army under control of some sort of devices. They started destroying towns and such. There was more, but it was based of a dream I had and I forgot a bit about it. XD

My newest story Hazy, which is unposted, is about this town where no one notices bad things happening in the world. They're nice to everyone and praise everyone. The main character hates this and one day she gets hit by a car and goes into a coma. Her life in the dream from the coma is completely opposite from real life.
