    Miasma, only because I would have cut out a few unnessacary chapters and made it shorter, I wish I could change parts of the plot, but the rest of the storyline wouldn't work.

    I'm Sorry, Joey.
    Once every few months I get inspired and I'll read it through - I started it almost exactly one year ago - and I'll promise myself I'll fix it. It has a terrible plotline, you know, Billie Joe-falls-in-love-with-his-sons-thirteen-year-old-girlfriend-oh-no!.
    To be honest, it's totally beyond fixing. The beginning is cliche, juvenile... so is the second through like.. eleventh chapter. I started to clean up my act a little bit, but honestly, I'm writing for the readers... and the 47 subscribers.

    Three Cheers for Sweet Romance.

    I made Gerard too emotional, in my opinion anyway. And the plot could use some work.

    Not the whole story, but the first paragraph of Through his Veins is absolutely terrible.
    It doesn't capture the attention of the audience at all.
    I know it's horrible, I've been told it's horrible (not exactly in those words but you get it), and I just, I don't even know what I was thinking. :XD

    I'll Be Your Baby.
    It's pretty much the first story I wrote for mibba, and to be honest, it sucked.
    I've developed a better writing style since then, without so many cliches and lackluster plotlines.
    The ending was horribly rushed, because I grew to hate the story so much. The main character was a bit of a Mary-Sue, I got annoyed with her. XD

    Basically every single chapter of 'Our Hearts Are Beating Out Of Synch'
    because it's awful and it's cliche and it's...just ew and it has no substance. I'd develop her and her fiance relationship more, make it more plausible, and develop all the characters on a whole.

    My story "We All Want Something Else".

    It was the first slash I wrote and it was a horrible cliche. I didn't go into enough detail and I'm quite ashamed of it.

    But I guess I had to start somewhere with slash. I just wish I'd developed the characters more and given them more emotion.

    I hope to god noone ever read my story 'Slipped Away'. :shifty

    I't so terrible, it was the first Rydon I ever posted on Mibba, and it's so cliche and doesn't make sense. I don't even know why I wrote it. No

    My one shot The Day I Saved The World got some good feedback but in my opinion it's poorly written and for some reason it has an american style narrative, which is very weird for me.
    But then again it is one of my first serious pieces of writing from when I was around 14, so it obviously it won't be my best. It's just the character's voice really makes me cringe when I read it!

    I feel that way about my Brendon Urie and Ryan Ross Fanfics and my first original vampire story. People loved it, but...eh. It wasn't my best work. When I reread those stories, I know it's not great. There is a sequel to the vampire story though, and that's turning out to be a millions times better, in my opinion.

    Check Yes, Juliet ugh, people liked that story way too much. It was stupid, and cliche and I half-assed the ending since I didn't like Matt. I'm working on re-writing it now.

    But then again all my stories have very half-assed endings. I need to work on them.

    The Only Way I Know. It's a piece of shit, seriously. Cliche, teen fic, stupid, ridiculous, stretched out, and that's only to do with the plot. The first ten or so chapters are terribly written. It's like a frigging soap opera. I was proud of how my writing improved so it sounded well written, I suppose.

    The thing that stops me from deleting it though is the fact it's my most popular story.

    This is probably why I have no self esteem about my writing. -_-

    Deleted Words. It started off very average, and then it just got worse. I lost it with it and I just wanted to finish it as quickly as possible. It was just stupid, I realised half way through that I'd written it wrong as well. My original idea for it sounded a lot better, but I'd gotten too far into it and I couldn't be bothered with going back and changing it.

    I'd re-write it, but I don't think I can. The idea just isn't good enough anymore.

    Anything I wrote before Keeping The Little Demons -- except Becoming Marie. I think those stories are completely ugly and empty. I didn't even try. I wrote those stories because I was bored and wanted something to do. Sure I liked those bands very much but I never wrote those stories out of passion.

    Lily Baby, I wish I could delete the whole thing.

    But people seem to like it.
    And I'm scared they only like it because it's so cliche.
    And twisted.
    It was sort of inspired by 'In 102 languages, I love you' because I loved it so much.
    But I could never write anything that amazing.
    And I don't like MCR fan fic as much anymore.

    I wish I would of made it longer, but that story's passed, I really don't want to edit it now.
    White Lines And Bass Guitars

    All of it! :tehe: When I first wrote it I was proud, but now when I look at it it seems sorta... not good :shifty Like the style of writing I used, I don't use that anymore, there seems to be no flow to it, (maybe make it shorter?)
    And the plot is, confusing, or just not understandable. The only bit I wouldn't change are the characters names. :D

    The first like 15 parts of it are crap. Seriously. But as I kept writing, it got better. I just really wanna go back and rewrite them.

    Everybody hurts her. An original story that I deleted ages ago. It got good reviews and all, but I couldn't even finish it, I felt like it was going nowhere. Besides, it was terribly cliché, over-dramatic and all the "surprise elements" I had put in there were just stupid. An overall fail.

    My now finished chaptered Ville Valo fic Acting On Love.
    Some bits I'm not happy with and wish I'd done differently.
    Then again, it's finished now, and the readers seemed satisfied with it. . .I'm not too bothered.
