#that ''Amyber'' could be pronounced as ''Amoeba''...

[pepperf]

@mylittleredgirl I finally had a chance to go digging in my dad’s attic for my vintage fic file. I couldn’t find the REALLY old one (grey folder with a rainbow square on the front), but I did find my slightly-more-recent one, mostly from secondary school. Only a couple of pieces had dates, the earliest was a Blake’s 7 fic from March 1992.

Also inside were fics for: Sapphire and Steel, the Man from U.N.C.L.E. (the original 60s one), several attempts to write a Georgette Heyer novel, a surprising amount of Three Musketeers fic, Labyrinth fic, my Bryan Adams self-insert fics, my obvious crushes on Lou Diamond Philips and Roger Taylor, my GCSE results, a bunch of X-Files fic (including printouts of other people’s fic - once I discovered that other people wrote fic too, my productivity took a steep dive!), and this gem of a list of potential character names for my DragonLance Mary Sue fic:

Shoutout to teenage!me, who once seriously considered naming a character “Amoeba”. 🤣🤣🤣😭

ETA: proof!
