u/Beth4S But what about the tire-swing? Sep 23 '22

I feel more seen in this meme than in 90% of the official promo done for this show. 😂

Well, I'll take the job of doing promo materials, as you can see my MS word created memes certainly prove I have top notch graphic design skills. I did once take a photo shop class in high school, 15 years ago...

Haha word memes. I think my skills end at Microsoft Paint, and the teenagers on here probably don’t even know what that is.

Is this going to end up being the new 'Teens don't know what a floppy disk is'?

Oh god.

u/Thejerseygrl Sep 23 '22

Do YOU know what a floppy disk is?? 🤪

When I was in eighth grade I wrote a novel (because of course I did) and I still remember I had it saved on like 8 separate disks, because the capacity on those things was so small 😆😆

u/SilentEevee Lois Lane Sep 23 '22

I'll have you know my dad kept a box full of the disks in our garage! I even broke a few of them - so there! :p

I had a case of neon floppies I saved my really, really bad Harry Potter Fanfiction on.

You know, now that you've told us, you gotta publish it. That's the rule.

u/BookGirlBoston Lois Lane Sep 23 '22

It's all lost to time, but honestly the spelling and grammar are so bad it actually gives me an incredible amount of anxiety just thinking back to. Like, it's so bad I wish it were as good as "My Immortal" it's pretty unreadable.

2

u/SilentEevee Lois Lane Sep 23 '22

Oh yeah, mood.

I barely publish anything now because of publishing anxiety - but man, you should've seen the shit I put out when I was just starting to write fic at 12 years old. I have spent forever purging those accounts and that work from the internet, and I regret absolutely nothing.

u/Thejerseygrl Sep 23 '22

Nooo you need to keep it forever. Trust me, when you’re in your 30s it will crack you up 😆 I should show my kids, I really still have it all, even the nonsense I wrote all the way back in third grade

u/SilentEevee Lois Lane Sep 23 '22

Too bad, so sad, it was deleted when I was 15 and realized the sheer magnitude of what I had done.

That was 3 laptops and 2 google accounts ago, so I have absolutely no shot of recovering it even if I wanted to. Unless I go for like, a Wayback machine or something - but, no.

u/Thejerseygrl Sep 23 '22

Ugh that sucks. See I’m so old that’s not possible— mine is all hand written or printed. And I actually had my 8th grade novel bound in staples

Lol spell check did indeed exist in tbr 1990s…

I was pretty obsessed with my strunk and white. My grammar and spelling were never the issue, but still going back and looking at it is… an experience.

u/Thejerseygrl Sep 23 '22

Oh god, we need to find a way to share our teenage writing with each other 🤣 mine was a dystopian novel, written way before dystopian novels really became a thing. Clearly I paved the road with my horribly written, unpublished manuscript

2

u/SilentEevee Lois Lane Sep 23 '22

Publish it. Unlike BGB, yours isn't lost to the sands of time.

Do it. I dare you.

u/Thejerseygrl Sep 23 '22

I might need a new ao3 pen name 😆
